"Don't use bad tech" That's a noble sentiment and I try to follow it as well. Unfortunately the time is coming when I'll have the choice of being a Luddite or buying the bad tech because that's all there will be. I already don't own a smart phone because I can't get one that doesn't have a secure or open source baseband processor. I don't own a smart TV and by the time mine breaks down I'll probably have to go without a television as well. The choice to go without rather than own and use invasive technology is not that big a deal when you haven't integrated it into your life yet. But giving things up that you've become reliant on is much harder. Stallman saw this early on and built his life around it. I doubt many of us are willing to go that route.
