You know, This kind of shit happens so frequently anymore that if you're dumb enough to buy things that, for absolutely no reason, requires an internet connection and/or an app.. Then you deserve what you get.

It's not unreasonable to start charging for an app like that if it is under active maintenance, that costs money for the company after all.

But the lesson for the consumer is: Don't buy tools that rely on apps or servers ran by someone else unless you want to eventually start paying rent..

Imagine buying a devices that makes you install a program on a device you have to keep on you at all times and which probably contains all of your personal and financial information.

Like 98% of the human race are absolute fucking morons.
