Don't buy products from Apple or Microsoft. It's not impossible, it's not even difficult
So you use google and Samsung?
I use android, OnePlus ATM. I stopped using google search since years ago and use DDG which I love and has been superior to google for years now. Still use google storage but I'd like to shift to a different provider, maybe self hosting with nextcloud
I loved Samsung up to about 5 years ago or so, it's absolute shite now. Samsung was awesome but got complacent int heir success and now it's all corporate bullshit. Bought a monitor that literally fell apart, spent literally over 20 hours on the phone for them to apply warranty. Samsung TVs are now spyware adservers, wtf? Samsung phones are overpriced bloatware machines that can't be cleaned up.
For tv I'd go with LG now, I guess and I hoe they won't fuck it up.
Even for streaming I use jellyfin now to get rid of Disney, prime and Netflix
Good approaches :D hope your android is degoogled. With OnePlus, I can recommend to try PostmarkedOS. It is a linux alpine for multiple android phones, and OnePlus phones are one of the best supported devices.
Nope, it is not. I want to rip google out as it's actively annoying me. Now there is this "swipe left and get google shit" that I don't want and can't disable anymore after an update they did. That for me is reason enough to dump all this shit and go for something different.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it!
