Trust is hard to earn, but easy to lose - I’d be very careful to trust my data with a company that’s willing to play these games.
They’ve been caught lying before when they introduced the branded drives requirement, but it was too obvious to not see through it. Their backtracking was pure damage control.
Trusting your data with a company that’s just waiting for the right opportunity to extract money from you is not something I’d do. I’d consider their devices time bombs and would take measures to not be impacted when they hold your data hostage. I’m not saying this will happen, their made it very obvious that the risk is there.
Yeah they’ve played their hand. I will never buy from them again, even if they do somehow repent (which is exceedingly unlikely). Once a company gets to a point to where they start monitizing things with no value, they will never turn back.
