I just wanted to say that switching to another big company isn't solution. And even though they do not have such huge proportion of hardware devices, many people use Google or Amazon (or similar) to sign into many services or devices like security cameras, smart locks. And this really huge problem, when one company could lock you out of everything for no real reason. It should be much more regulated.

i mean now you're talking about trusting big tech (any big tech) with things like your home cameras and door locks. which to my mind is dumb to begin with. there are cameras that record to a hard drive and don't touch the internet. and while a plain old deadbolt lock on your door isn't 100% guaranteed security, how tf does tying it to a big tech company improve...anything?

i was talking about personal computing and data storage/access solutions. which, again, apple is a no-go. for any of that
