I’m using Ubiquiti at home (a switch and an access point) and self host the controller too.
You can disable automatic updates in the controller and then upgrade the firmware when you please.
Regarding if Ubiquiti have access to our hardware a cloud account is optional so you can just use a local login to your controller instead.
Surely if the person making the order sees 18,000 waters they would think, hold on this doesn’t seem right maybe I should ask the customer if they really want 18,000 waters?
The same applies for the ice cream with bacon on it which was mentioned in the article. I believe a lot of these could be resolved with a bit of common sense.
