Ah, no I saw the comment but missed the part where Amazon is letting other companies use the sidewalk protocol. I’m fortunate enough to have neighbors who don’t use Amazon’s stuff, but if other companies are using their tech it’s a moot point.
I wonder if any of these appliances would stop functioning if the bluetooth and wifi module was suddenly disconnected? Not actually asking, just putting the thought out there. I miss “dumb” products.
As we saw in this story from a few months ago, yes, absolutely, manufacturers will stoop to the level of disabling devices which are prevented from exfiltrating your data. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of TVs doing the same with the network modules but I’m too lazy to search for it now.
