Rules:

1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

Because the majority refuses to pay and relies on everything being "free". But yes, let's all whine about how baaaad THE MEDIA is because it's all just clickbait fluff.

Which it absolutely is, but it's not like this entitled attitude of "I deserve to get news for free" has nothing to do with it
