Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I was going to say that I'm a bit surprised that the characters use Apple products, given their (the characters') politics.

I'm not the biggest fan of Google, but I still have a Pixel and use Google Maps. It's not always easy (enough) to shape your purchases to your preferences exactly.

There is no ethical consumption under Capitalism anyway, so it's all shades of grey.

Well, I don't use G either. Or Microsoft. I did used to have a Home back when they first came out, but Google started being obvious about being evil around that time and I gave it to my MIL.

Echo, Siri, Google - they're all bad, and even less necessary than smart phones. You can make a decent, quantifiable argument about the quality-of-life differences a smart phone, wisely used, can make. There are few, mostly accessability related, arguments for the whole-home surveillance devices. They're absolutely a boon for accessability, and I wouldn't take that away, but otherwise it's a minor convenience most of the world manages to live without.

Damning the man is one thing, giving up a convenience is another.

And that's all it is: a capitalist, predatory, minor convenience. Again, I'm surprised these characters use them.
