US diplomats can go to hell. Never trust an American tech company.

This only strengthens my receive that we should ditch US tech.

Side note: a vibe coded update in Google cloud deletes hours of my work today. My notebooks never actually saved despite saying they were.

US tech is fucking garbage.
