    I have very minimal smarts in my home. I’m jaded and over it all, and you can guarantee the shitty devs producing this stuff couldn’t care less, while working for actively hostile mega-corps.

    Fuck that. Having said that, there are compromises - my TV does get out to the internet and I have a win 11 PC in the lounge as the primary machine.

    If I had the emotional energy I’d start fiddling with nessus or whatever the new flavour is, to confirm my suspicions but I just don’t need the burnout

      Privacy in big tech is not driven with the mindset of “it’s better for the user”, but with “it’s better to cover our ass legally”.

        Except it isn’t. Companies openly flagrantly get caught violating your privacy again, and again.

        And the legal cost to do so is always, ALWAYS LESS than the profit made violating your privacy.

        Privacy protection in America is dead.
