The criticism is about accountability, not whether the system is democratic. The UK pm and the POTUS are both ultimately accountable through elections. In the UK, a general election can change the government. In the US, people vote specific

Opinionated, but Tesla's interface seems better than any CarPlay? The thing with CarPlay that I hate the most is that it is laggy. I have it on a Series 5 BMW and Spotify has a delay of at least 4s when you select a song and when it ac

The trust in Mullvad was put to a test two years ago when Swedish police raided their headquarters with a warrant to seize customer data. They left with absolutely nothing because the data didn't exist to be seized. Furthermore, Mull

They're known to run everything in RAM, nothing gets stored. You pull the plug and everything is gone. Of course, you have to trust the company on that.
