That is so annoying.
Philipps is a shady company and I support anyone who decides not to buy from them ever again.
With the Hue bulbs the force you to share data, so I had to manually install an old version of the app just to not share data - no other way to opt out. So I can’t say I’m surprised they pulled something like this.
tl;dr: Keep away from Philipps!
chess or other board games are inexpensive and you can learn a lot and make friends along the way.
Fotography can be expensive, but if you do it just as a hobby, you could take your phone or get a cheap camera and try to get up early on weekends and take some photos of the city.
reading books, especially about animals (specifically birds) could be an option too.
