A man who got kicked off a service because of an alleged remark.
If I ever get into smart home crap, I’ll definitely be aiming for a local network solution >_>
Stories like this are why I’ve never really found the concept of a smart home appealing. I’m perfectly content to do it all analog, but hopefully there’s an alternative out there for folks who think differently than I do.
There are very good and fairly easy solutions for self hosting smart home functionality. Im using homeassistant which runs locally on my own hardware, and all my smart functionality is controlled locally so it works even without internet. And should my server crash, everything just defaults to normal “dumb” control.
Oh, this is the same story from June. This can basically happen to anybody who uses their Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Twitter, Facebook, … account for anything important. All of these companies have very limited recourse for customers who got banned. I’m surprised he even found out why they banned him LOL
