    What I mean is I configure everything so it works for me and everything is portable/exportable and contingencies are in place so if they ever start screwing around again to an extent I can’t tolerate or mitigate, then at least my data isn’t hostage in the process while I reassess.

    I don’t allow any of their defaults to stand before I start breaking in whatever product/service.

    NO

        Good question.

        Cuz it does lots of other cool shit that keeps me reeled in and it has some irreplaceable apps and other functions I rely on to manage my life. I just like to have custody and sole access to my data and they don’t pay me for said data so its need to know basis.
