He's insisting that they repeatedly remotely disabled his device in retaliation for blocking their data collection...
...yet they paid for the device to be shipped back and forth and inspected several times under warranty, presumably costing them $$$$?
It makes zero business sense to break your customer's products intentionally, which will lead to 1-star reviews and expensive support.
Plus, I hate to be the "this sounds like it was written by ChatGPT" guy, but this does. People don't write like this:
> Deep within the robot’s startup scripts, I discovered the smoking gun.
> It came back to life instantly. They hadn’t merely incorporated a remote control feature. They had used it to permanently disable my device.
> I may have lost my warranty, but I won back my autonomy.
Also, the idea that someone would waste months (?!) of their life on some broken vacuum cleaner until they "had a complete understanding of how the hardware was designed, down to each chip and wire connector" is just not real life. This is more like someone with a mental illness related to obsession, unless they're starting their own smart vacuum company.
I'm guessing this is 100% fiction from ChatGPT. Complete with the AI-generated image.
100% agree. The whole is written in such a gushingly dramatic tone. No real technical details, just lots of alluded information. I don't believe a word of it.
