I don't like saas. I pay exactly $0.00 a year in saas fees. Copying bytes is free. Server upkeep costs aren't my problem.

My hardware (Fitbit Surge) was remotely disabled by Google LLC, which owns Fitbit LLC. It's likely running freeRTOS 8.x and Nordic SoftDevice S130 v1.0. It cannot tell the time because their servers silently reject its oauth1 authentication due to their endpoints expecting oauth2. They never released a firmware update for the device except to patch a memory readout that would have allowed me to take control of the device and actually use it since they abandoned it as soon as they launched it, like every other product they have launched. I just wanted to use the thing that cost me like 3 hundred bucks and was advertised as a "Super Watch" and really was at the time but they crippled the hell out of it and left everybody without any way to bypass their servers which abandoned support for it. Now I've become hyper-aware of every transaction and all of the lies being sold with each new product that contains firmware that depends on some private endpoint that will be tampered with. Companies should not be allowed to distribute products whose core functions depend on some computer somewhere else running software you'll never see.

It's really unfortunate that industries have evolved from creating artificial scarcity on machine code to creating artificial scarcity on server authentication. Copying bytes is free. Server upkeep costs aren't my problem.
