So it's not as bad as it seems, at least.
Unless these people paid a premium for this kind of "smart" device vs. the cost of a basic version.
I think the bigger issue is that they’re bricking all support for the oldest models, trying to force customers to abandon a fully functional device just because they want more money.
The app subscription fee is obnoxious as all get out, but punishing your oldest customers for your profit margins is what’s a bit infuriating.
At least, imo.
Except, prior to this announcement, there was apparently another statement from Anova that you can’t control the first gen ones.
