Like Google maps:

we anonymize your data before selling it. So it leaves your address every morning and goes to your office every morning but it’s completely anonymous.

What are you trying to achieve that wouldn’t be achieved with a VPN and a private browser session?

Like your social skills? 😅

Easy - just keep pouring money into them, always, forever.

I remember learning in middle school that we’re supposed to define acronyms the first time we use them.

The hardware quality, seeing as I already spoke upon the programming and philosophy. Sorry, thought that was clear.

Hardware is great. Everything else is pretty much an abusive spouse.

Better how?
