Rules:

1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

Well, we decided that we don't want to pay for journalism anymore and would much rather just have everything be funded by ad views because "information should be free". So no, journalists aren't good with words anymore because nobody wants to pay for it
