Few thoughts:

1. What is being made? Can't really care about it without having some idea
2. What makes this company's version of it worth our interest?
3. How is it better than the FOSS solutions that in this day and age almost definitely already exist
4. Why are we to put our faith in this group for pay once software when their two major products are SaaS?

Nothing like castrating half of the family tree because of that one time your brother tried to break up your empire!

It's funny because it's heartbreaking!

Would absolutely love to have one. I've got a solid connection ready to seed!

I guess I need to refactor for readability. What you just explained is the entire point of the comment I posted. Refactoring is part of the job. Don't give your manager a choice on whether or not it needs done.

Who is in the wrong? Your manager, for not giving you time to refactor? Or you for giving him the option?

Well, you got a new switch!

True, but he mentions .NET development is Windows first, and even mentions that you have "some IDE's that work with it, like Rider". He kind of said it without mentioning the specific IDE.

Rider is the real MVP anyways.

How do you mean? Like, how is this different than someone saying "I don't get the point of Linux"?

Ah yes, I see. Thanks for the link!

If you are on Linux and require port forwarding, there is a bit of work that needs to be done.

Otherwise, it's very solid.

Sidewalk is (to my knowledge) only used by Amazon devices.

My point was more that Amazon advertised a system where if you didn't have internet, don't worry, you can use a neighbours. The current system is all opt in. The issue is that these major companies have never minded hiding other technology or its uses from the end user. We believe we can just block the device from the internet, but it is entirely possible that some of the TV's of today have similar systems to sidewalk (or even just cell connectivity) built right in.

Let's not forget when Google nest security systems sold in 2017 received an OTA update (in 2019) to be able to use voice commands (oops, did we not mention there were microphones in the device you bought?)

I'm not saying everyone needs to slap a tinfoil hat on. I'm just saying that while I also block these devices from the internet, it really feels like any day now things will become more difficult than that (possibly in devices we already own)
