    Why the fuck would I want Alexa in my toothbrush? While I do think Oral-B should be on the hook for maintaining functionality of a product they sold, I also think that the target market for this product was idiots with too much money.

    I hope that in the very near future, there are anti-trust suits and//or legislation that does what the car industry did many years ago with parts availability. It’s just good business to make sure your products work as if it were day one. Otherwise, I agree with the gentleman in this article, and would never buy such products from these companies.
