    In the end “the cloud” is just someone else’s hard drive. Call me old fashioned, but I’ll keep my data on my own hard drives.

    Virtual assistants, e.g. Alexa, Cortana, Siri

    I don’t want to interact with the companies they represent basically at all, let alone give them nearly unfettered access to my electronics and their data.

    Apple Ecosystem. Since I learned that iTunes changes mp3 files when “sync” to iTunes I stopped using apple products. That was back when iPhone 5 was released.
