I&#x27;m surprised that despite being able to concisely explain why Apple is preferable to Google due to the privacy implications of their respective business models, they&#x27;re perfectly content with a Google Home in their kitchen!<p>Maybe I&#x27;m paranoid, but isn&#x27;t it obvious how the whole Home Speaker story ends? &quot;We&#x27;re not spying on you, we&#x27;re learning your behaviors to offer a better experience!&quot;

&gt; I’m also a prolific screenshotter. The internet is an ephemeral place, so when I see something online for a story, I make sure to capture it immediately.<p>Why are screenshots seen as the gold standard for documenting deleted content? They are easily faked.

Does anybody else think this article is at least 90% native advertising?

I find it funny that the article opens with how pen and paper are some of his most reliable tools.<p>Then it goes on to talk about several apps and taking screenshots on an iPhone.<p>I want to know how the pen and paper were so notable. What is being done with the trusty pen and paper?! Please! Tell me! I did ctrl-f and found no further mention of pen and paper. I feel duped. I feel like the pen and paper were only mentioned in an effort to define this journalist&#x27;s personal brand as cool and <i>analog</i>. Let&#x27;s talk about that pen and paper. Why did you waste my time by mentioning those words for me to read and then dropping the subject entirely?
