EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.

Please don’t make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.

        It’s much more like a stove requiring a specific gas brand to work.

        He can clearly turn on his Car Thing all he wants. Spotify is the gas company in this metaphor.

          You can buy gas from anyone. Even make your own in a digester.

          Your gas stove is not cryptographically locked to one gas company.

              Look out! Communists are coming for your toothbrush. Better vote for harsher penalties for modifying stuff you bought. The DMCA still allows throwing away or disconnecting the computer locking you out of your heated seats.

              Yes, many much easier ways. A propane tank for one. Wet, high CO2 methane is really hard to make explode.

              Do get a CO detector though.

                My furnace broke this summer (thank God it was summer) so we have CO monitors all over just in case something went fucky with the new install
