    Which is why we need to de-normalize this thought process. People should always ask, why does my vacuum need to go online? Or at the very least, can I turn that “feature” off?

      because vacuum makers lock away advanced capabilities on the app making a home network the only way you can access them.

      of course, when you’re shopping, it’ll use those advanced features as advertisements; but there’s no way to know that ahead of time unless you’re buying the most expensive models available.
