I wish companies would at least offer a "no data collecting/selling" price option. Like, how much would they make from selling my data? Just give me the option to pay that extra amount so I can buy a vacuum without thinking about how it's spying on me.
Do they not just a cheaper version that could come without wifi or Bluetooth? I usually get that option where available for any products. because I’m a cheap ass.
There are older models you can get that work that way. They're just less convenient in that you have to clean them out yourself. I had one for a long time, but I wanted one that is self-emptying.
My concern is that they'll include the equipment for spying on you, and just enable it later.
I bought a Hue because it said "no online account required!" Later they changed their mind.
I want the promise plus open standards and a base of libre software. I want them to tie themselves to the mast.
