So, if I care about privacy, biometric data, PII, triangulation, location data

(and I do, very deeply)

whenever I interact in person (!) with another human I need to check for devices from Amazon (fash Rings, fash Alexa), Apple (perv watches), Meta (perv glasses), spyware TVs (TCL, LG), spyware cars (pretty much anything after 2020), fash laptops (Google and Microsoft), etc

because none of those companies have to practice the care I do as a solo researcher.

Utter garbage and unacceptable.
