I'd rather see effort put into decentralized versions of stuff. Access to your home devices as a service is an annoying arrangement.

(It's hard to be too worried, internet itself and internet in your pocket are a lot more compelling than internet [for reasons we haven't figured out yet] on your fridge)

Sounds like we might find ourselves using home proxy services again, like how Privoxy was so prevalent in the past.

Thing is am not joking! but at the same time well I dunno if its just rumors. I own a nexus mobile which is a google product but never had ads on it... Also its a high quality product for a cheap price. I like that, I wouldn't mind it if they were to show me 1 add once a while tbh. Same applies with all of their products. They are reducing their products costs but not its quality and instead they are finding other ways to increase their revenue but without having you paying any hidden fees. I find that fair and square and I wish the rest of the world was that way. (You can go ahead and say watching that Advert is the price you pay, but you can't argue that - that price is affordable by ANYONE!)
