There’s not strong evidence-based support for stretching. NFL and MLB players do tons of stuff like cupping or wearing magnets that are questionable. Doing yoga because it makes you feel accomplished seems about as harmless as channeling yo

I don't think it's an all-or-nothing proposition. You can share telemetry and get patches from a remote team without having the equipment connected to the internet to reduce the risk of destroying expensive equipment.
