No way they employ a minor dark pattern with their cookie pop-up

YIKES tying privacy hardware to a subscription. Maybe they’re two-year burners then, like a partially inverted warranty.

Gradual feature deactivation should be fine if it’s incredibly transparent. So they lose too many sales if they just charge the whole lifetime customer value right upfront, and subscription is the solution.

Thank you for that. Well I do wish them luck!
