Every single call, message, email, chat every communication the government, PM, minster & misc deals with should be held to higher compliance standards than a financial body. Every purchase traced, every figure used for a report known. Nothing made up. Just the same as every financial house after 2008 has to do. Yet they are corrupt calling for others to not use encryption.

They are criminals.

My experience with linux is that its super good for the basic stuff but as soon as you want to do something more complex that you do on windows you can run into weird issues where you end up spending hours looking through config files. Just keep using them on servers imo until Google or someone else decides to make something that works well.

This is mostly just silly clickbait, but I have heard mild concerns that some people are going to turn to these chatbots for companionship (the platonic kind) and end up in a worse place than they started with. It's kinda funny to watch this AI chatbot act like it does, but maybe microsoft shouldn't have released a 'search assistant' that acts like a manipulative weirdo.

This is the result of business schools churning out morons who accept the ramblings of Milton Friedman as gospel. The obscene idea that an executive’s sole duty is to maximize shareholder value (in the short term) without a second thought for customers, employees, a competitive market, or society in general.

> Same with getting access to your iCloud/Apple account

No you don’t, because it is stored unencrypted on Apple servers and Apple themselves will give it to you (for example, with a legal request). If you go this route, you don’t need the physical device or any of the user’s passwords. The user won’t even know it’s happened until they are told.

The difference is in one case, my password and my physical device is needed. If you want that, you’ll have to physically get my device from me, and then get me to tell you my passcode. The other is just stored on Apple’s servers. If you don’t see how one is much harder than the other, I dunno what to tell you lol

Edit: no need to believe me, believe American law enforcement instead and refer to the leaked slide I posted earlier.
