Again, I believe every single goddamned product that requires an app and/or internet activation to work (ot provide all functions it advertises) needs a big fucking warning on the box similar to cancer warnings on cigarette packs. It also needs to be PROMINENTLY featured in the product description when it’s sold - none of that fine print, big bold capital goddamned letters, right in everyone’s face. The app cancer should be fought and advised against just like the real one…
I believe when any app or service associated with a physical product is decommissioned, it should be a legal requirement that all associated code is open sourced.
They either support their products, or provide a means for anyone to do it when they abandon them.
