I'm waiting for the day that a hacker takes over their central update server and bricks all devices worldwide and makes them non-upgradable (or makes them into bots).
How would you deal with that? Ask them all to send it in?
Not sure if I like this. $10/month for a TB is the same as Amazon glacier. Sure that's not the same since Glacier is for archival but still... It's not THAT cheap.
(a) I think that's the same problem that all consumer devices have that "phone home" for updates; game consoles, TiVos, smart TVs, VoIP phone adapters, etc.
(b) If all you need is archiving of your stuff, and you don't want ongoing fast access to your movies, music, photos, etc., then sure. Glacier is probably a better fit.
