It appears that we can no longer use our Nixplay photo frame without coughing up an annual subscription fee.
We bought it over other options primarily because it did not require a subscription fee.
Airplanista 🇺🇦 @rscottjones That kinda sounds like Microsoft Word saying "your account has been locked until you upgrade to our Premium service because you used a word..."
Alexandra 🏳️🌈 @rscottjones Well that sucks. What is it with these online companies?
Jens Zalzala @rscottjones That sucks.
Some years ago I hacked a frame together that displayed photos from a specific Google album. We gave it to an elderly grandmother, and didn't want to deal with subscription fees or any setup other than 'plug it in'.
I realize that's not an option for everyone, but I wonder if these days there are some ready to use images for raspberry pi that do this?
Jens Zalzala @rscottjones Oh, that's a nice feature.
And yes, it feels like a shitty bait & switch.
Alexander S. Kunz Photography @rscottjones German "nix" is a colloquial spelling of "nichts" with means... zero, null, nothing. I guess the warning was in the name all along? 😵💫
