Not odd at all. It was planned that way.

The SpaceX Iridium 4 Launch was a full thrust launch to get the Iridium satellites in the necessary orbit. When done the 1st stage would not have enough fuel to make a landing so they didn't attempt it. See the official mission overview:

Official mission overview
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will deliver 10 satellites to low-Earth orbit for Iridium. SpaceX is targeting launch of Iridium-4 from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The instantaneous launch window is at 5:27 p.m. PST on Friday, December 22 ...

Falcon 9’s first stage for the Iridium-4 mission previously supported the Iridium-2 mission from SLC-4E in June 2017. SpaceX will not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.

As a person with mobility issues, I have 3 Echo Dots and now 2 Google Home Mini's. They control more than 12 switches and a number of other sensors throughout the house making my life much easier.

I too monitored the traffic from the echo dot when I first got it and like the @Guyle above, came to the same conclusion.

My cell phone captures much more information than these devices do.

That is way out of scope of providing power.

Seriously... How is Tesla sending hundreds of its Powerwall battery systems Puerto Rico.. just a marketing ploy? Tesla started sending hundreds of its standalone power banks, and some have already arrived while more are en route.

A physical product that works well in the field.

The grid is down and it will take a long time get a lot the Puerto Rico areas back on a grid that currently doesn't exist now. The powerwall is recharged by solar.

What good is a cell phone when you need power now and can't even charge a cell phone. And you need power for other necessities more than a Cell phone where they tell you help is not available now.

I would have fun with that...

Actually just updated today as the newest firmware was release this week.
1.28.0000 -3.4-140 K26ARM USB AIO-64K, While there is an option (and has been) to turn on statistics, I have never had it turned on.

Works better than stock firmware and dealt with vulnerabilities that the router had with stock firmware long before Netgear caught up.

WRONG!

Why would I want to use Facebook as my security login. I don't use or trust them. Very poor security.

Actually, the first part I bought was an expansion interface. I had access to a model 1 at the store and access to floppy drives, but the expansion interfaces would fly out the door and having a floppy drive was of no use without one.

So I first bought an expansion interface so that I could keep it at the store, then when I could afford it, I bought the model one, a floppy drive and took it home.

I think they should name it FLOP...

Hmmm, not an issue. I don't use WiFi when I am away from known secure locations. Not an issue.

Seriously, they know I bought one of the devices. Why do I need to take my time to package the thing and send it back.
Just send me a replacement. The SN of the unit is registered and you have to provide that to get the replacement.

But they want me to print out a shipping label, package the old defective DO NOT USE one back.

Not being smug at all. I've had my medical (hospital) information, insurance (2 different insurance companies), 3 credit card companies hacked over the period of the last 2 years and each time, they always say the same thing. Security is our top priority , but then you find out it really wasn't. They were doing unsecure processes which is how they got hacked, had been warned about their practices etc...

I have no choice if I use these services (other than to not get medical, insurance and use a credit card), and no control over their lack of security.

In this case, it looks like the hack didn't actually pull any data, but how many times has the scope of the hack been under reported or not reported at all for a long time only to find out that really is not what happened.

If your companies top priority is to keep data secure, they how/why did you get hacked. They always say that, but clearly that is not the Top Priority

FTC is getting them for false advertising, has nothing to do with the EULA. This is the federal government suing not the consumer.

The issue is they are saying their products are secure when they have many vulnerability outstanding that should be easy to fix and they have not. So they are not safe to use.
