A smart bed that can't function without checking in with mother ship? That's the dumbest thing ever. You can always tell the businesses that skipped testing lol.

Its a feature, make the product unusable if its not used as they intend. Take the sim card out of your car and watch it go into limp mode.

I don't have a smart car though, I use a bike. No registration, no tax, barely any regulations and fewer that are actually enforced.
