While also selling you technology you don’t need that will spy on you in your home and scan your network for every device, open file share, and anything that has data it can harvest and share back to its corporate overlords, so they can sell it to Facebook and Google, along with any nudes it captures (because you know people will set them up in private spaces).

Edit: This particular one is apparently a workout product, which I’m unfamiliar with. I guess that’s … fine? (I don’t get how it’s functionally different than a laptop on a a table if you’ve already got mirrors, but I mean… whatever.) I was under the impression this was a smart mirror used to virtually try on clothes. My comments about data exfiltration and spying (just maybe not nudes) still stand.
