It's a pity. I still use my 12 year old Withings scale, and it works like a charm. Also have been using the Withings watch and Withings blood pressure monitor. Withings builds long lasting products that just work.

However, even if the sync for me as existing customer still works, I don't support paywalling basic functionality. Thus, for my future purchases I will choose a different brand. That's imho the only language companies understand: Lost revenue.

It was nice as long as it lasted.

This is just one example, but I think worth sharing:

I've been running a new solution in beta for a while and am about to go commercial (Germany). In my solution, it's essential to keep personal data safe and ensuring the customer it's not shared with anybody else.

I used Azure and AWS in the past, but stopped. Using only German data centers & services is a selling point for my customers and builds additional trust. Aside the initial effort, I don't see any big technological disadvantages for my use-case and actually pay less now for operating everything.
