I refuse to buy any device that requires an "app" to configure. It's clear the developers care more about your data than the product at that point.

Then quite obviously the value of that money would be reduced in a significant way, as it no longer represents goods or labor to the same degree.

We don't need a "much-needed letter to car manufacturers". We need laws and regulations which uphold privacy for the human right and dignity everyone deserves. Everything else is political theatre only.

Back/forward navigation is broken. Lots of "Application error: a server-side exception has occurred (see the server logs for more information)." No footnote describing who owns the site, what the terms of use and privacy are,

None of that addresses the concern about the developer's attitude and shady statement about OTR straight up not working in his software. Maybe he's done other good things for the community, but having unreliable crypto is a deal-b

Always been intrigued by UniFi stuff, is it still the case you need an app to set up and configure their devices? I don't have an app store, and they don't publish their app elsewhere, so this was always a non-starter for me, and

Avoid this shady app. Some years ago the developer removed OTR support without warning then casually claimed the app "never did any verification" without additional clarification. This is a dangeous attitude for someone responsibl

Eating an animal-product based lunch will use more energy than years of iPhone usage. This is certainly not a "every little bit helps" situation - it is about managing our attention on things which actually matter, when there is a

You say it's not a meaningless distraction, but fail to make a reasonable argument for how it "saves" the environment, or whatever. Running laundry or charging an AV at a different time of day doesn't materially impact e

The concern is diverting or otherwise mitigating attention to climate change on impressive-sounding, but ultimately meaningless distractions, all the while flamboyantly bragging about it and bolstering one's self image.

It really is: anytime uBlock Origin blocks >50% of the resources on a page (including to Russian servers), it's objectively bullshit.

More bizarre to me still is the fact laundry rooms are built without a drain at the lowest point of the floor. That's in fact a feature I would desire in every room of a custom home.
