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?

    Not really answering the question but I’ve completely stopped buying anything that requires USB micro B. I can’t fucking stand that connector. USB C costs a negligible amount more and I’ve yet to have a single port or cable fail irreparably after using it for the best part of a decade.

    An actual answer to the question? I’m done with Microsoft and Nvidia. I’d love to add Google to the list but I’m still largely entrenched in their ecosystem.
