@Author: If I put it to you that you made a bad decision a while back and this is the predictable consequence, what would your response be?
- plagiarist 3y agoSeems to be along the lines of, "I am seriously considering discontinuing my use of the Echo device." I do not get this mindset at all.
- throwway120385 3y agoI would've ripped it all out after I got that email from the executive.
- hospitalJail 3y agoI know code supposedly needs to be maintained... but I have so many FOSS devices around my house that I havent touched in years. (admittedly I do hobbyist embedded, so its not like you can get much of this stuff off the shelf) Meanwhile my $20 Wyze security camera has gotten worse over the years with all the updates, fees, reduction in features, etc... On a similar note, it seems my Nest continues to lie about the temperature, seemingly worse than ever. Its interesting how often buying the mainstream product gets punished, but DIY is robust.
