Nailed it!

If you assume that people actually want to do the right thing if it's easy, and then you make it easy, it usually works.

Even when this isn't enough, it should still come before anything else.

I hate them so much for all the reasons you mention and a few more.

But there are times that I prefer them over a 2-3 minute vidoe padded to 12-15 minutes for monetization.

Yep, all my smart thermostats are zugbee. No phoning home by design, so I don't have to worry about missing functionality by not giving them internet connection.

And that goes for almost all my smart home. I only have wifi things when I couldn't find a realistic zigbee option.

I do NOT want my thermostats to phone home. I don't see any value of that.

But they are connected to MY smart home system (Hone Assistant), and THAT is accessible from the internet.

I get the remote monitoring and control that I want, and they don't get any of my data. Perfect!

Or just "1.5 months".

If it was 46 days, there will (arguably) be times where it's less than 1.5 months.

I guess the intention is automation that updates every month, leaving you with half a month to fix issues.

Det ville passe mig fint hvis vi kunne få færre til at køre stå stærkt, men jeg er mere bekymret for hvor pænt folk kører. Det synes jeg er blevet meget værre de sidste måske 10-20 år.

• Sammenfletning er ikke længere "som en lynlås", det er "mig først".
• Overhale indenom kræver ikke mange centimeters margin (jeg vil også gerne køre hurtigere, det er derfor jeg er i køen)
• Folk glemmer at holde til højre.
• Osv

Problemerne var der også da jeg fik mit kørekort i sin tid, men det er da MEGET værre nu. Sammenfletning har altid være akavet i Danmark, men nu kan det være en kamp at få lov til at flette ind, især hvis jeg vil holde min plads.

You're not getting the point.

A: You csn shop there without an account. It's your own choice. An account has pros and cons, and it's your choice.

B: I don't know how it works in US, but in my country a McDonald's account is a fair deal to me. They pay me a fair price for some personal info. And if I go to McDonald's and I for any reason feel like they shouldn't register that particular visit, I just don't use my account.

C: I want to use Windows, but logging into a Microsoft account does not give me any benefits worth the cons. So I use Windows without a Microsoft account. And it will be annoying to keep track of a "fake" account just for that.

I don't like to say it to anyone but my partner and my kids.

I like to show it though. And let's be honest, does saying it really mean that much, if you don't show it?

Yep, that's basically what I have.

I'm ready to buy a factory new car, when I find one where the data is mine.

Yes, but this is not one of those times.

Imagine someone poops on your doorstep, and then removes half of it.

You can say it's good that they removed some of it, but that's probably not the point you would want to make.

None of them were trying to push privacy as a competitive advantage.

This is why I don't have a new car. I'm hoping I get one where I have access to my own data (in eg. Home Assistant), and the manufacturer doesn't.
