Rules:

1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

It seems like the whole device was kind of pointless to begin with since its still just running Spotify off your phone. I guess it did it's real job of separating people from their money without really giving them anything though

It was a good substitute for cars missing android-auto and CarPlay.

And I think some people used it as a low-distraction music remote for their desk.

I got rid of Spotify when I found out they were donating to fascists.

Gonna have to stop participating in modern society if you don't want your money to go to fascists.

It really does seem like it's making a comeback these days.

We do have a loneliness pandemic... I wonder if there's a correlation.
