Rules:

1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

That class action judgment was essentially a fee.

Fines that don't take a significant proportion of a corporation's yearly income until they unfuck whatever they did are just fees, they're not effective.
