What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don’t keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don’t make it there anyway. So I’m asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.
On the flip side, what’s the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?
Samsung appliances or Samsung smart anything. SSDs are tolerable but I’d rather find someone else.
HP printers but they are especially bad so all HP.
Any device that requires a cloud connection, account, or specific app to work. Hard no.
I have a home PC with motherboard issues that is my multimedia machine. I played around on IBM networks when I was a kid. Fuck printers. And yeah fuck this forced cloud shit. I remember this was a thread.
Nodding my head with samsung. HP comes up and I’m ohhhh how did I forget them!
I find they do slip by you unless you’re thinking of printers. I’m trying to remind myself in more situations. I doubt I’ll ever want an HP computer with or without the reminder but I’d like to make sure.
