Looking at the product there is definitely real IP in the hardware, and paying for a service shouldn't be a surprise. They're a real company.
You couldn't argue you aren't interested in the value they provide, but questioning the fact that running a service costs money is ridiculous.
- prodigal_erik 16y agoI don't question that running a service should cost money. I question why hardware I buy and host should be apparently unable to do its job without relying on an external service whose survival is not assured. It's another instance of building an appliance for consumers that could have been a full-fledged tool we relate to as human beings.
- drdaeman 16y ago"Real IP" is not a reason. They just charge because they can. And one is free to chose whenever they want to pay or not — there are always alternatives.
