Google will always try too screw over consumers when they can make even a dime more off of a product. This is not a bug but a feature – for the company.
Consider degoogling. There are a lot of alternatives, albeit with some slight drawbacks. Everyone should consider for themselves whether these drawbacks are bad enough to stay with a company that treats you as the product, not as the customer.
You’re preaching to the choir on that one. I mainly use Apple stuff — I feel like, between Apple, Microsoft, and Google, Apple is the least evil. Some disagree. I always liked Macs though, and once GPU prices started going up… I bought one. Pretty good deal if you’re willing to give up PC gaming. But I also realise Apple isn’t that much better than the others, if they are at all. Linux is the real winner here. If I didn’t need a whole new computer, I probably would have switched to Linux.
