The server and app are not for your benefit. They are for the companies benefit in then being able to justify extracting $17/month rent from you for what previously would have been a one time purchase.

That's how they disable your bed when you don't pay the bill.
It’s impressive how much impact better visibility can have on resilience. I’ve had good results using Uptrace’s tracing features to see how failures propagate through different services.
You've posted about this brand/product several times on different threads on HN in the past few hours, having never posted on HN previously. This is an egregious breach of the guideline against using HN primarily for self-promotion, so we've had to ban this account. If you don't want to be banned, please email us ([email protected]) and assure us that this was a mistake and that you will not make it again.
