I would be willing to pay more as they are subsidizing the cost with the advertising. I have seen computer monitors are coming with ‘smart’ functionality now. Don’t want that.
Is it okay to start covering things with tinfoil yet?, I have herd rumors that these "smart" things are so internet access horny they will steal the negbors guest wifi.
Something like Amazon Sidewalk could be used by a device to send back telemetry theoretically but I haven't heard of it actually being used for that. Connecting to an open Wi-Fi network or through some partnership with an ISPs (like Xfinity) seems like the easiest thing a device could do though.
