<p>I’m struggling to figure out the upside, as a normal end-user. I don’t manage a fleet of vehicles and I’m not developing an app based on the data.<p>Why should I pay this company $19/month to put their hardware in my truck?  It’s not clear to me that there’s navigation (I.e. a replacement for Waze/Maps) available to me via an app. I guess it records video and can be used like a dash cam, but there are much cheaper and offline alternatives. Earn their proprietary crypto coin?  No thanks.</p>

<p>I think it's a combination of "everyone knows they're doing this stuff" and "the ones who could do something about it (i.e. charge/prosecute, change laws, etc.) are implicated".<p>Much like the problem in the US Congress: they are not subject to insider trading laws, so they can make huge sums of money acting on non-public information.  The only people that can change that are ... members of the US Congress.</p>

<p>I'm particularly fond of 'Sleepytime', but 'Rain' is probably the episode that I've thought of more often than any other.  Because of that 7 minute cartoon episode, I have found myself _actively_ changing my behavior/decisions with my kiddo - letting them do something that will be a bit more work for me later on (extra laundry or whatever), but something that sparks their curiosity or gives them a new experience or similar.</p>

<p>I think another part is that there is a failure mechanism on their boards that was recently identified: <a href="https://community.openconversational.ai/t/sj-201-sj201-failure-mechanism-identified/15299" rel="nofollow">https://community.openconversational.ai/t/sj-201-sj201-failu...</a><p>The short version, from the post, is that there are 4 capacitors that are only rated for 6.3v, but the power supply is 12v.  Eventually one of these capacitors will fail, causing the board to stop working entirely.<p>It would be hard for a company to stay in business when they are fighting a patent troll lawsuit and having to handle returns on every device they sold through kickstarter.</p>

<p>It's probably a case where it's illegal to vaccinate the hive, because it's not explicitly legal to vaccinate the hive.<p>For example, in the US, it's legal to use brand name "API-Bioxal", which is Oxalic Acid, to treat for varroa mites.  However, one can head to their local hardware store and buy generic "Wood Bleach", which is also Oxalic Acid.  It is not legal to use the wood bleach to treat your hive, even though it's the same chemical compound.</p>
