Same & amen. I won’t even buy anything like a Sonos/Homepod, etc. again either. Sonos (the curse, then the blessing, lol) permanently turned me off anything but OSS/DIY IoT stuff. The great thing is, between ESP 32’s, Pi’s, OSS, cheap Ali components & 3d printing, you can have something you actually totally own & control in your house, rather than some remotely cloud locked subscription garbage & normally with better features for a similar, or sometimes lower initial cost.

Sorry cloud providers, but you all burnt (nuked) your bridges and I have zero interest in seeing them rebuilt. I’m more than happy on my own little island!

Tinfoil hatted me would wonder if this might be why they are so desperate to try and ensure local LLM’s never become a thing…
