Does cancelling refund the extra to your card? I assumed most systems would just eat it so I may as well leave it for the next guy.

TeamViewer's publicly-known business model has nothing to do with advertising or otherwise monetizing your private data, while Google's does. There's nothing inconsistent about using one while avoiding the other. That said, I

Disagree about "adding nothing". We're talking about hardware for nontechnical family/friends, who might not understand the conflict of interest. It's not nice to project your apathy/disbelief that Google would

Sorry to be "that guy", but how about not giving an advertisement company access to all your network traffic (while paying them for the privilege)... Almost every router supports some form of remote management (or just put TeamV

From the sidelines, I'd think the answer is that your email platform should have that feature, or you should consider using entirely separate flows/tools for transactional emails and marketing emails. Not a lawyer, but AFAIK trans

The incentives are aligned for Google to do this. I'd like to believe that they don't. Can you point to anything that might convince skeptical non-Googlers that Google does not do this?

Its AWS. Isn't "obscure high costs" the name of the game? But now people have the time and incentive to dig into those costs more critically.

True for the router, but some/all fiber service also requires an Optical Network Terminal (sometimes in your dwelling, sometimes outside). That belongs to the ISP and cannot be replaced with your own unit AFAIK. There's no rental
