Wow. That's the funniest thing I've seen this week.

Beats the schadenfreude I'm having with some of the IoT lightbulbs no longer working for EU customers - a problem which actually impacted a friend of mine. See: https://twitter.com/internetofshit/status/999619364541394944.

EDIT: 2 friends now. I wonder how many more bought those lightbulbs...

Anyone who bought these lightbulbs should return them to the retailer for a full refund.
The yeelights are typically bought on eg Aliexpress. I have mine with the local network developer functionality enabled, here's to hoping they will still work with that at least.
That'd be an entertaining help desk conversation. "No the product is still functional, but my country made it too much of a hassle for them to operate in my region"
