I've got to wonder what they thought they were buying. It's not like the warning signs were sparse these past, oh, ten years or so.
Google is NOT going to be any better at this
What are you talking about? Google Home devices have been out for like a decade at this point, they don’t play ads on them.

Why would you buy that. Ten years ago I had an Amazon phone and it would fill my home screen with ads. I guess if you hadn't experienced that scenario but otherwise why would you pay for that. Besides the ads fuck Amazon why give them any money. Go to Newegg, Walmart anywhere else
can these things be reflashed?
