    How often does it check… If you’re out in the middle of nowhere and it can’t get a wifi signal is it going to let you die?

      This is 100% speculation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it checks the length of the subscription when connected to a network, then tracks that with a built in clock. There’s also incentive to frequently connect it to a network since the company constantly “updates the algorithm” it uses to detect crashes and deploy.

      I suspect it would stop working once you hit the end of whatever period it knows you’re “paid up” for.
