It only takes a single visit to an old house built around the turn of century to realize that the artistry, craftsmanship, and all of the other skills needed to make such a thing today are incredibly rare.

Everyone seems to think and say that they want some for of AI to arrive and free us from all that grind that is beneath us.

I am just reminded of this TNG episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA9fcTJGXf0

These new PCs/chips are about more than just co-pilot. They are also the first series of chips with Pluton.

Pluton should be absolutely TERRIFYING to anyone informed on Microsoft's security story.

the SLTs of all major tech companies and software companies are absolutely hyping AI. these people are have compensation packages with significant ties to stock prices and those go up with hype and inflated expectations.

as fun as it would be for redditors to now go and burn down any/all content that would feed this bot, you have to believe that this announcement is more of an after-the-fact notification vs a we-are-about-to-do-this piece of information.

either way. there has never been a better time to abandon reddit so ... see you all on Lemmy and here.

One thing that annoys me more than data collection is corporations pretending they do it for my benefit while "respecting my privacy." Stop with the gaslighting, it's absolutely insufferable.

Not to mention, the way the text is written makes me think it's ai generated and that makes it somehow even worse.

This. I invite everyone to go and look at the amount settings that must be turned OFF in Windows 10/11, Firefox, Chrome, whatever app from companies that claim to respect user privacy. For Windows it is literally dozens of toggles, and unsoliticed apps. Then there are the so called security features like malware scanning of URLs/file downloads, etc. Then the DNS replacements which, ya know, still see the URLs that you are asking for.

Every company that claims to respect your privacy is full of shit. There is too much money to made in not respecting it and this is the sole reason that they exist.

> Proton provides privacy by default and not anonymity by default because anonymity requires certain user actions to ensure proper [operational security] such as not adding your Apple account as an optional recovery method, which it appears was done by the alleged terror suspect.

I mean, fair enough. It sounds like Proton had a legal obligation to provide the recovery address under Swiss law. I am not 100% sure whether or not they could have refused, but Apple is the company that provided names and home address.

"Once the Guardia Civil obtained the iCloud email address, the documents show that it requested information from Apple, which in turn provided a full name, two home addresses and a linked Gmail account."

Basically everything but their favorite colors, TV shows and emojis.

If anyone is dumb enough to trust Microsoft after all the shit they've pulled over the last 30+ years, including the most recent collection of large-scale security fuckups, they deserve what they get.
