Why would a business have the power to decide what should and what shouldn't be homogeneous about the property of others? A transaction took place, property has legally changed hands and the former owner is exerting control over property that isn't theirs any more.
How about if the builder of your house comes into your home via an access route unknown to you, and starts rearranging where things are placed, or where you and your wife are placed, etc. in order to maintain homogeneous layout?
I wish I had the abilities of the engineer, plus the time he could devote to the problem.
This seems a bit sensationalist.
Guy hacks smart vacuum. Smart vacuum behaves different than standard vacuum. Manufacturer kills vacuum remotely.
As the business running the servers of smart vacuums, if I saw an atypical device reporting in, without context, I too would kill that device.
Because they're vacuums. Why would they not be homogenous?

The business has no right to remotely kill a device purchased by an end user.
