People keep saying that no one will hack it because it will cost them $1000. Plenty of people will pay that so that they can hack it anyway. And those people will come up with the countermeasures for the rest.

Low tech hack: Cover the camera, disable the mic and break the ad display.

Article I read says it'll have sensors that can detech how many people are in the room; didn't get to read the full T&Cs but you'd imagine the team behind this product has gameplanned for how people will try and circumvent whatever protections they added MacGyver style with what's around the house.

Someone absolutely will figure out a way to hack it... it'll be patched, people will be fined (or attempt to fine), the cat & mouse game will continue.

It's not about the money if you're trying to remove ads at that point. It's about proving that you can remove them
