    Feels poorly thought out. Most categories just straight up recommend Apple products despite the fact they collect almost as much data as every other company. The only reason they don’t get a downvote is because they aren’t actively selling your data… so far.

    They give them a sideways vote but that doesn’t matter if you show 5 products and the only one that isn’t downvoted is an Apple product, that implies that privacy is included with them when evidently it’s not.

      Yea these are more about what’s more “privacy respecting” on paper (TOS, privacy policy, past data breaches and legal cases), which is helpful to know in its own way. Stuff that can be chased down legally and all that

      I really don’t like apple, but the fact, that they’re not selling your data is a positive. That could change, but it didn’t until now.

      Still wouldn’t buy apple personally

      But they’re still sharing the data internally, right? So it’s just vertically integrated enough that it doesn’t need to sell outside itself to use your data.

    Xbox? Yeah, at this point why would you get an Xbox?

    Its not even that they are so much cheaper. Once you download more than 5 games you gotta buy the most expensive SSD on earth.

    If everything has a warning label then you start to ignore them

    I have a wyze camera that I basically only use to watch my cat when I’m not home and wanted to see the options but everything has a warning, so I’ll guess I’ll keep my wyze

    Reminds me a little of a situation in Mexico, they added warnings to good products to warm about excessive calories, sugar, fat and other stuff, but when you go shopping everything has a label, so you just ignore them. Is they had different colors according to how much over the limit they are they would be better, but it doesn’t matter if it has 101 kcal or 800kcal, they get the same “excessive calories” warning

      Oh huh, I thought there were more camera options listed before

      The UI on the site could use some work to make it easier to see what’s what
