I know what you meant. And my response was that the network connection is only required as a technicality for bullshit reasons. There is no possible technical reason that a network connection would ever be required for this functionality to work. You are defending their bullshit framing, so stop it.
I'm not defending it. i'm pointing out that right now it needs an internet connection to function. Going but achually it doesn't is pedantic and obnoxious. Yes it could function without one but that's not what you're implying. You're implying that right now it doesn't need one when it's hard coded to need one right now.
It isn't pedantic. A service not working without an internet connection is not the same thing as a service being blocked due to lack of an internet connection. One implies it is necessary for the functionality of the service, and the other accurately portrays the scumfuckery that is actually happening here.
Words matter, and mealy mouthed euphemisms to downplay the severity of things is what faggots, leftists, and communists do to advance their agenda. Don't act like a faggot.
You're missing the point that it's a bad design, intentionally gimping the product so that the company can spy on the users and sell their data. Gullible idiots are paying a subscription for what's literally a worse hospital bed bundled with a worse electric blanket.
No, it doesn't. But they couldn't sell every bit of data about you if it wasn't connected, hence the requirement.
Sigh. I meant that right now changing it requires an internet connection and i would have thought that was obvious
