an idea - "Cloud free" label for hardware similar to "GMO free" for food

Yes, 3 categories:

--Cloud free

--Cloud required

--Cloud supplemented

The last one would need to be accompanied by a list of features that depend on the cloud.

Expiration dates should also be required. "Guaranteed support for X years from original release date; Y Years from date of final official sale."

I'm not inherently against products that use or require cloud infrastructure to function, but I think consumers should have the information needed to make an informed decision.
