If you don't want to be tracked, don't keep software that tracks you 🤷

I'm basically okay with this in the interim, but I am now **highly suspicious** of any custom OS they release. I haven't looked into how feasible it is to root the DC-1 or install custom OSes, but if they pull some Apple-level shit where you have to install their spyware OS to use the (extremely expensive) device, I'm gonna lose it.

Yeah, it's a valid concern. I remember them launching a forum for custom ROMs not too long ago. Maybe we'll get some 3rd party OSs to install down the line.

Well I read their privacy policy and I sent them a data deletion request. I wasn't even using their service account or their apps anyway. Nowhere in the document did I get a sense that they've backdoored their operating system beyond whatever tracking happens when you sign in with Google.

Thank you for this, will be following your lead. After Forbes article regarding Google/Android device tracking, decided this is to be, as much as possible, an offline tool. The display technology is EVERYTHING they promised. It’s a shame that to bring a product to market, selling your soul is the price. View quoted note →
