    Anything from any company large enough that the obvious business decision is the screw over the end user to generate additional profit. That excludes basically everything, so instead it’s easier to give recommendations for what I would buy/use instead:

    • Open hardware products
      • Framework laptop with RISC-V hardware
        • not released yet
      • Purism
        • Maybe not fully open, but at least they have schematics
      • Pine64
        • Caveat emptor, software controlled charging circuits, be wary of bomb
      • RaptorCS
      • Wikipedia has an okay list
    • Open source software
      • Operating systems
        • *BSD

    Everything sucks, avoid car brands that sell your driving data (AKA buy an old car or figure out how to permanently disconnect your car from the internet), and avoid smart home and llm garbage.
