Nice write-up by Jeff.

Things are getting out of hand. It’s time for a change. Only buy equipment with local access.

    I can’t say the same thing, sadly.

    People around me get easily fascinated by convinience over security and privacy. Biometric phone unlocking, work-only-through-app accessories, smart tvs, connected refrigerators, kitchen robots and expresso machines, autonomous vaccuum cleaners or web enabled water heaters and ACs… convenience rules absolute.

    I enjoy going to stores and have sales people throw their pitch at me. The look on their face is priceless as all the convenience functions don’t ring any appeal to me; nothing against them, they are doing their job, but still.

    I hope we can force change and push back on the ever growing invasive tactics of companies and markets.
