It’s not about politics, it’s about stability and trust.
Same reason I’m hesitant to wire up my home with IoT devices (just a personal example). Nothing to do with politics, I’m just afraid companies will drop support and all the things I invested in will stop working.
- aantix 3y agoEventually you have to make a decision though? Even if it’s the wrong decision? Our time is finite.
- hanselot 3y agoNot filing your home with more triangulating spyware is a decision.
- monkeywork 3y agoYes, but that's not the decision the person in this thread was struggling with - they were struggling with the idea that they may invest $$ into something that 2,3,10 years down the road no longer works because a company went out of biz. Sounds like they would like to have the devices but have a hard time pulling the trigger for a fear of sinking money into to something temporary.
- epgui 3y agoYeah, and the operational stability of a company is a factor that goes straight to its ability to continue as a going concern. So it's reasonable for many people to base their decision on this kind of drama (even if not everyone agrees on the importance of this factor).
- monkeywork 3y agoyou may want to go back and re-read the thread you are replying to ... the person I replied to wasn't talking about drama they made a "IoT home devices all spy on you" argument.
- epgui 3y agoIt’s possible to make a more charitable reading of their comment as being on topic.
