Nobody works for free. I get your beef but the problem is we buy things and want to pay once, if you were willing to pay for your router every month, well heck you could actually just buy a new one every year about already. fancy that.
- bluGill 7y agoI want to pay once for something that works as advertised. If I buy a car and the airbags are bad they will fix it. If I buy a device and the software fails I expect it is fixed too. I'm not asking for features, I'm asking for bug fixes, which if you had a perfect text plan would already be fixed.

- winternett 7y agoAt the bare minimum, products should be engineered so they can function at a reasonable level "manually" independent of software systems. These devices should also allow owners to take themselves off the network any time they want in order to ensure REAL OWNERSHIP. That maybe is the happy medium that can get you home if the network goes down?
