The time that Tony Fadell sold me a container of hummus

On May 15th, my house will stop working. My landscape lighting will stop turning on and off, my security lights will stop reacting to motion, and my home made vacation burglar deterrent will stop working. This is a conscious intentional decision by Google/Nest.

To be clear, they are not simply ceasing to support the product, rather they are advising customers that on May 15th a container of hummus will actually be infinitely more useful than the Revolv hub.

Google is intentionally bricking hardware that I own.

This should be absolutely illegal. I’m pretty sure Google has some EULA bullshit that “allows” them to do it, but EULAs are legal wet sand, and honestly, I just don’t care. The fact Google can just get away with this shows you just how utterly warped and inherently – I’m using that word again, it’s been a while – evil they really are.

These companies literally do not care about you. The sooner you accept that, the less attached and to and blinded by these companies you’ll be.
