It’s pretty easy to put unbound on with pihole.

The Switch isn’t that expensive to make, the chip, memory, and storage are all budget af.

You have full control of the level of opt in. You can go always listening, only in high traffic areas, or completely opt out of the network. But if you want to use the network, you have to contribute to it.

Google is rolling out their own find device network soon™ with third party trackers that are rechargeable. They’re pushing it through play services too so every android phone in the world will be in the network too, so it’s a much more global network if you are traveling off the beaten path.

My post is objectively true for the year-over-year pricing. See my post edit for proof.

I had no idea they increased the price twice in the same year. That’s even crazier if so.

See my post edit.

Check my edit. I was billed $80 less than a year ago.

I paid $ 79.99 less than a year ago. If they hiked it from 80 to 110, then hiked it again in less than a year that makes their practice even worse. They saw no dip in users so they thought they could go back for another bend over the bar.

Welcome aboard matey!

It’s already been cancelled. 🏴‍☠️

^this guy gets it.

This is what I’m talking about. Welcome to the seven seas matey!

Yep, it feels like we’re about to see the second wave of piracy, and more and more people are going to dust off their jolly Rogers. $80 was worth it for the catalog, but the price hike is completely unjustifiable. I’ve already canceled my sub, and I’m betting there will be plenty who do the same. A 75% increase is egregious.

There’s a lot of free models out there already, and most models are created by individual artists. I encourage you to skip your coffee for a day if there’s a paid model you really want to use, as you are directly supporting members of the 3DP community, rather than some corporation.

That’s the draw behind Framework, you can swap out the mobo with new ones as needed for a fraction of the price of a new laptop, and use the old mobo standalone as a server or similar.
