I'm scared of clowns

There's a reason big tech companies are worth hundreds of billions of dollars yet most of their users have not paid a dime. So yes, data is valuable.

Data is very valuable. Google shows advertisements like they're listening to people's conversations, except they aren't. Their data profiles and predictions are so good they know what you want to buy before you even know you want to buy it.

Search the Cambridge Analytica scandal.. I am not grossly over estimating anything.

AI training and data mining. The value of data has surpassed the value of oil long ago. The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil.

Really? I sure hope that's customizable...

I tried that too. Are you able to search it?

That is exactly why I choose to use FOSS including Linux. As much as I want to standby this principle, I have come to a breaking point after dealing with its issues, issues we have all experienced. I believe it is hands down the best choice for server use, but for work and productivity, I need something more matured that is going to work out of the box. I am glad that the community here took this criticism well but I think it's important to discuss and understand that there are still some strides to be made. But at the end of the day, I'm just some guy ranting and who knows, maybe I'll be installing a Linux distro after a month of using Mac OS.

a father was recording his kids in 3D through his Vision Pro

Didn't Black Mirror have an episode on this? Having the tech being used in day to day seems a little dystopian to me.

I will never stop using Linux, special place in my heart. But for my primary work machine and daily driver, I need something that is just going to work.

I am using a Thinkpad with Ubuntu LTS. From the few bugs I did research, they're reported but seem pretty stale.

Yeah the telemetry in M$ Windows is what is stopping me. I have no need for Windows, I don't play many games. I do agree with the Apple hardware argument, I am thinking of doing a hackintosh to test the waters.
