And I want absolutely nothing to do with that.

Kind of like the Nest bleed into the Great Google Data Vacuum? Everyone is going to go on and on about how they never have to get off the La-Z-Toilet for anything and can just yell the piss out of Alexa, until AWS gets caught with its pants around its ankles and every last drop of data is on some dork's Nimble, excuse me, HPE storage array in a basement in the eastern bloc.

It's a story that Airsoft Guy could write in his sleep.
