Google ran the OS for my phone, Home Assistants, Chromebook and tablet. and it always felt like Apple vs Google, and I couldn’t help but pull for them.

Once I pivoted to Linux for my Chromebook, I become a tad more objective and as of late, it’s clearer that Google do things like purposefully give you different search results so that you can be shown more ads, or suddenly replace the first result of Play Store w/ an ad instead of the searched term so that you click on that instead.

They are an ad company obviously, but as of late, they do things that make me question them more as a company

My PC is hacked

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?
