I won't touch IOT devices. Just today I was reading about a number of Google devices that will cease functioning later this month because the cloud services for those devices is being shut down. Google, in their magnanimous hearts, is offering replacement devices in some cases to keep those monthly subscription fees coming in. I occasionally think about getting an Apple speaker device, but just for listening to music. With as much information as Google and Amazon suck in from their devices to monetize, I'll never own one of their pieces of kit.
