Musk can shutdown your car and now Bezos can shutdown your home.

No thanks.

Lol imagine if it was 2033 and the Katey Segal smart house just suffocates you to death for racism or whatever Amazon doesn't like.

Smart homes are anything but that. The issue is using the off the shelf components and the software they push that constantly broadcast to somewhere.

You can build a smart home that is based entirely on open source software and avoid the issue of intrusive data collection. It's a lot of work, but it can certainly be done.

I refuse to ever get "smart home" anything.
This shit is beyond dystopian.
And there are idiots who'll get literal microchips in their brain if Daddy Bezos tells them it'll be beneficial.
