Unixorn - 90% Snark by weightApr 12

Periodic reminder - I'm maintaining the Internet of Trash list - https://github.com/unixorn/internet-of-trash/.

This is a list of devices to avoid with the reason why - typically companies like Chamberlain that lock out local control or put it behind a paywall.

If you've found a device that sucks, please make a PR or an issue about it so I can update the list.
