The smart home graveyard keeps filling up

The Verge's latest column on abandoned smart home products argues that the graveyard of discontinued connected gadgets is getting increasingly crowded, with the June smart oven the newest entry. Once a device's servers shut down, expensive hardware becomes useless, and readers are once again debating whether buying cloud-dependent appliances is ever worth the risk.
Why now: Another high-profile smart home product, the June oven, is being discontinued, renewing worries about devices becoming useless when companies shut down support.
