Came here to mention this! Recently I spent some time evaluating snips, doing some research and looking at documentation without actually starting anything. Decided to dive in, only to realize they blocked new console sign-ups, having been

What kind of data is being sent? Devices that need to legitimately phone home for something tend to do so by requesting servers within or close to the country they were developed in. Imagine people getting riled up at the thought of Apple p
