I never understood why people keep using banks when credit unions are available.

Banks are predatory, credit unions are not. You are doing business with someone who wants to hurt you, maybe you should stop.

Microsoft responds to accusations that they are selling back door access to their OS, by issuing a vague and obtuse statement, that kind of maybe says that they asked the offenders to stop making the back door's existence so glaringly obvious.

And where do they get the hydrogen???

Fossil fuel... But you really have to dig to find where they admit it.
Last time this came up it was buried in the documentation about how wind and solar don't provide enough.

Gemini was supposed to be catching scammers for them.
But when caught, meta only charged them more, it didn’t delete the accounts.

Yup. Also have an LG big screen. So frustrating that it has such amazing features and remote, but you cant trust them enough to plug in an ethernet cable.

All that labor and effort to create a really great product, then completely destroying it with corporate greed to squeeze that last penny of value out of you by undermining your network security and privacy.

Just such a stupid situation.

Or, just never hook them up to your network.
I plug a laptop into my TV for viewing shows and never have connected it to my network.
Smart appliances are crap that aren’t worth the hassle.

In the lion's defense, the human was asking for it.
