The more I read about Matter the more I hate it. If this is supposed to be the future of smart home connectivity then I don't want to do smart home stuff anymore.

Case in point: I bought some bluetooth tracking tags for my phone that said "Just press the on button, and your phone will detect them […]

I've been seeing some drama online over The Home Depot pricing items down to $0.01 to indicate that they should be pulled from shelves then customers trying to buy them and getting into fights with the cashiers over it.
