I haven't used the app in a while and opened it and saw this... Well never buying Anova again

But hey at least they gave me a coupon that expired two months ago.

Imagine seeing that message and buying another product from them.

“It’s time to artificially create waste. Don’t worry, you won’t see this message again. Our new cookers are designed to not last 10 years.”

100%. They've just guaranteed that the sous vide unit that I have now is the last Anova product I will ever buy.

(Don’t) hope they did their math right and the “well, it’s just $2/mo” crowd is large enough to offset the principled crowd

That notice doesn't even say there is a $2/mo option. App just won't work at all.

Imagine Goodyear 500 tires!...for just 30 bucks a month you too can get the most inexpensive tires of all. 500 mile tires!. After 500 miles they don't spin or hold air so we recommend setting your odometer properly.
