       | Should Nest have allowed itself to be acquired by Google?

       | Why did Google add internet connection and internet server
       | dependencies to thermostats?

         | Should we have trusted their closed-source thermostat code
         | given the way they've just canceled 1st and 2nd gen devices?
         | 
         | Google Home now has a 3 yr retention policy on everything;
         | whereas Gemini API customers have already negotiated a no
         | retention policy. And they're cancelling Google Assistant, so
         | that's their only option now.

         | Google didn't, Nest did before Google purchased them.
