People buying internet connected stuff where they don't control both server and client has to live with the knowledge that it can stop working at any time.

While writing this I remember that I have one of those.

Time to throw out all your expensive smart home stuff. I mean it.

Nah, they won't force me.

Because I would never buy Philips Hue, and definitely not now.
