- burnt-resistor 1y agoI hate cloud-required hardware and software because it always dies at the whims of the manufacturer. Pre Android, Motorola Mobility's phones had a huge fleet of CentOS boxes that were required to run a large fraction of the social app functionality on their phones. The only games/apps/hardware I want to use are those that can be run completely offline with no dial-home DRM or server backend.
