Will depending on how technical you want to get there is a vibrant community that is willing to show you guys to strip Google from the control and put Linux on it. I think every Internet connected device does the same thing. Apple included.
why would i buy a machine i have to “hack” in the first place to use it as i need it to when i can have a similar or better machine for less money without any restrictions?
I think every Internet connected device does this kind of tracking too.
no.
No I actually do think that. You can take my word on what I think.
doesn’t matter what you think when it’s not relevant. not every internet connected device is sending personal data of it’s user to google or any other adspace reseller.
Well the here’s a short piece describing privacy concerns. I’ve read articles about such problems associated with Internet connected TVs, set top boxes, speakers, doorbells, lightbulbs, etc. I don’t have the time or inclination to find sources on all of them. But I think any device that’s connected to the Internet it hasn’t been revealed to be leaking data then it’s just really good at hiding how it leaks your data.
