Yikes, thanks. Enjoy this feature while it lasts, I guess. EWS is getting nuked.

As former Exchange admin/Office365, it's using EWS (Exchange Web Services) which is being removed in October 2026 for Office365. So for most, this is extremely time limited.
EDIT: EWS continues to be supported for on premises Exchange and is not scheduled for deprecation.
How do you know Thunderbird is using EWS, not MAPI? MAPI is not going away any time soon.

So does the EFF detector discriminate between Stingrays that are operating legally and those that are operating illegally?
I wonder what their lawyers think of this.

I estimate no more that 1% of population even knows what '[sic]' means.
Incidentally, I discovered this article while learning what '[sic]' even means.
"The typical editorial usage of sic is to inform the reader that any errors in a quotation did not arise from editorial errors in the transcription, but are intentionally reproduced as they appear in the original source being quoted", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

I'm not an LLM proselytiser but this makes no sense? It would almost make sense if someone were claiming there are only two possible games, the old one and the new one, and never any more. Who claims that?
Parent is implying that we're still playing the same game.
I’m not much of a YouTuber shill, however, I feel this crowd would enjoy Scott Manley’s video [1] on the subject
This is a nice example of why one should parse, not validate. If every function that requires some kind of permission takes that permission as an argument, say (pseudocode)
void doFoo(PermissionToDoFoo permission, ...){...}
from request import getAuth, respond
\\ Maybe<AuthenticationData> getAuth(Request request)
\\ void respond(String response)
from permissions import askForPermissionToDoFoo
\\ Maybe<PermissionToDoFoo> askForPermissionToDoFoo(AuthenticationData auth)
response =
try
auth <- getAuth(request)
permission <- askForPermissionToDoFoo(auth)
doFoo(permission)
"Success!"
fail
"Oopsie!"
respond(response)
This is also known as capability-based access control. It was implemented in Project Midori [1] — Microsoft’s flopped managed microkernel OS
