So i clicked okay, not because i trust them but because they just said that THEY would stop showing me ads... They didnt say that they wouldn't keep farming my data and selling it to other parties.
I didn't read the whole contract, but from the blurb i got thats certainly what it sounded like
As an engineer i hate both, technical sales never have an understanding of their product and are never able to answer any of my questions (because i've read through the datasheet as their words are meaningless to me) but they are mooooorrrreee than happy to schedule an in person meeting to come to my office and show me their product line.
Tell me what i want to know or find me someone who can, im not going to buy 10,000 of whetever if i cant even determine if they will work for my use case.
The last time i had to deal with one of these assholes it took 3 phone calls and 2 emails to get a simple answer which wasnt in their datasheet, which was all of one page long.
My favorite experience with technical sales is we had these component guys come in, they had openned up our product and wanted to show how much better their "equivalent" components were (genuinely a great idea), but they had no context as to what the components were being used for so they all fell flat.
In my experience both are only a waste of my time.
Yes i am a "monthly" user of facebook. I log on about once a month as the strata for my building foes basically everything through facebook.
I look at it like internet explorer a few years ago, it has its claws in everything and its just easier to keep using than for people to find an alternative that satisfys everyone.

This is what i have to do to log into microsoft fuckin teams on my work laptop when i work from home...
Step 5 was introduced a few months ago because the other steps weren't secure enough. This is why half my colleagues aren't available when they work from home...
I suggested that we just use slack as our work chat and leave teams as a red herring to dissapoint extremely talented hackers.
