Revolv

Google/Nest adquirió Revolv por $50M y luego cerró los servidores en 2016, dejando permanentemente inoperables los concentradores de hogares inteligentes de $300 que los clientes habían comprado

Error fatal: Revolv built smart home hubs. Google/Nest acquired in November 2014 for approximately $50M. In May 2016, Google/Nest announced they would shut down the Revolv server infrastructure on May 15, 2016 — permanently bricking every Revolv hub sold (at $300 each). Owners received no compensation. The device became physically inoperable. First major case of "internet of broken things" — hardware rendered useless by server shutdown.
