I agree with almost all on your 'bad' list. I'm unfamiliar with a couple, so have no opinion.
Your 'good' list is good. I disagree with several, such as Hyundai, Plex, rPi, for example, but I don't think they should be boycotted to oblivion, either. Except maybe Hyundai, who can crawl under a rock and die. I'm never buying another Hyundai car as long as I can.
I've definitely had some good discourse on Hyundai above and have learned alot, I still wouldn't put them in my bad list, but they might not be in my good list anymore either?
I'm curious as to why you disagree on Plex and rPi? My knowledge of them to be fair is far from exhaustive, but to massively simplify they're on my good list because of (plex) how open, flexible, and ownership of your own media focused it is vs. every company buying out shows from each other and subscription feeing users into oblivion, and (rPi) their education focus for kids, tinkering and repairing attitude, and making open useful little chips without being part of the hellish behemoths of other tech companies. Thanks for sharing!
He's probably mad they allocate some Pis to businesses that depend on them to function.
Not mad about it, but it is against their original purpose. Originally they were for learning as a cheap SBC for learning purposes, and it became about as expensive as a NUC for less than a third of the power. Highschoolers can afford a $35 SBC, but most can't afford a $190 SBC, which prices many kids and teens out of a learning opportunity. I am upset at them for selling out, but I can't really blame them for doing so. It's why they're not on the good list, but also not on the bad list.
