  • I could also get more info from your habits and you home type and quality from the thermostat. All at your convenience. I didn’t have to ask for permission to any private information. Just by the oven app alone I would have clues about your personal life-

    I would now know about how far you are from home

    That you are not home

    That there’s no one home or that you don’t trust the people you live with to start the oven

    How much you spend on utilities

    What’s the average temperature you cook food at

    How long you cook

    How often you cook

    Which part of the oven/stove you use most often

    Where your home is located

    How often you entertain

    Where’s your favorite grocery store

    When you start cooking

    The fact that you are at the grocery buying food to cook that night and how often you do that









  • I hear what you’re saying. I would change that to avoid it as much as possible or qualify it by adding only pay for digital content that you can easily identify the value without using the word convenient or if it doesn’t change they way you interact with the app.

    Example Paying for digital backups of you personal data is convenient for you and the cloud company to sell your info.

    Buying a digital only video game because there’s no other choice is one thing. Buying a $50 character skin is a waste of money because it doesn’t change how the game functions or plays.

    In both scenarios I don’t own anything but I get value out of a video game by unwinding and having fun. Giving my data to a stranger and paying them a subscription to double dip when I could just by a USB stick or HDD, is hard to justify.

    Buying a movie on Prime for $25 or buying the DVD for $20 seems like a no brainer to me. I own nothing with Prime and if they take it down then I have to pay watch it again on another platform. If I take care of the DVD I will have it forever.
