The right to swing your fist ends at my nose.

Internet connectivity is an optional over the top feature. You don't deserve the right to be on the shared public internet using a computer someone else made if you can't be cut off for antisocial behavior.

You can make your hardware from raw components if you want.

That's a pendulum that swings both ways, however. Disabling a manufacturer's entire fleet of product when they go out of business is a little bit far on that scale, IMO. Like you said, the right to swing your fist ends at my nose.

That's why I said "how about we stop tethering devices to manufacturer servers" implying that their basic functionality should always be standalone. Why should we be increasing long-term waste by bricking such products?
