R (largely and by default) relies on CRAN, and they are extremely selective about what packages they accept, including testing new package versions against downstream packages before publishing an update, etc. That largely mitigates many of the concerns of some random 10 layer deep dependency getting swapped for something malicious.

They think you have a stolen ID and cause problems for you.

Yes; it’s pretty trivial to flash something like OpenWRT on them as they don’t restrict what you can install whatsoever.

Better though than Framework who donate to bad open source developers. Hail big corporate! /s

(This isn’t directed at you, I’m more frustrated by the people in the Framework controvery threads who somehow thing buying Apple or Dell is a more ethical choice).

My shower head points at the door I need to open / close, so without some finangling if I’m outside it’s off.

Lesson learned - companies should never support open source projects because you run the risk of pissing people off.
