do you think you could be a little more vague

>You can disagree with an opinion but the platform shouldn’t be banning things that aren’t illegal and still get 230.

Why not

Lolno. The greatest problem for MS is to train the next generation of users. Think of your kids. What happens if people abandon ms and office en mass? Simply put, MS will be fucked on the pro market because people are not trained in windows and office.

Google really screwed up in Oz, but now the precedent has been set and ultimately all the governments (except the US of course) will want a slice of the pie.

Nah; Microsoft skipped Windows 9 due to the sheer fact to avoid conflict with third-party code that searches for "Windows 9"

​if(version.StartsWith("Windows 9"))
{ /* 95 and 98 */ } else {

Also, the whole"odd number Windows releases are bad" is just arbitrary, someone's preference, and asinine.

SOME power users complain a lot.

I’m almost certain though that 95% of domestic robot repairs cannot be done by the owner, making it much less feasible.

Realistically, though, it doesn't prevent anything.

The odds of them finding out are very low, and bringing a succesful suit even lower (especially with a 10 year NDA over a school project -- it would be easy to get that thrown out as unreasonable).

They're basically just relying on the fact that most people are good people and will largely follow the rules. It's amazing how much of society depends on that assumption, really.

So, just because you can't think of a reason why I need encryption means I don't need it?

I can tell you one thing, it will absolutely not stop terrorists bombing anything.

You mean to tell me AI chatbots are chatting!? IT'S OVER SKYNET IS HERE! /s

Yeah I'm not enabling TPM so f*ck off Microsoft.

They are designed to simulate human response. They are TRAINED on human responses. They are as much off the rails as their source of training.

youngling lol

The Pro market and office subscriptions (and selling user data) far out way the losses of losing a few consumer class customers.

They should definitely prompt for it like Apple does/did on macOS. It can help consumers too, since computers do get stolen from homes all the time.

Skynet, T 1000, hark!

I work in a repair store.

NO customer ever knows their drive is Bitlocker or Filevault encrypted. NONE.

I'm on board with encryption for consumer protection, but Microsoft and Apple do a horrid job of explaining what they are doing to your data. They want you using their cloud services. So encrypting your drive with auto cloud backup becomes kinda a sneaky maneuver.

If they just explained things better I'd be fully on board with this. But no one understands why I can't get their data from a dead machine with an encrypted drive. And good luck remembering your Microsoft or iCloud password and finding your recovery keys.

Sensationalist headlines and articles written by posters

Haha, yeah I completely forgot about the housing values. I was looking at real estate in the Bay Area a few years ago when colleagues were trying to get me to move out there. I immediately noped out, and said those prices need to have a massive crash and come back to Earth before I consider something like that.

Gov will be fucked as they use this

AI chatbot are designed to scare workers into submission. It's anti-union propaganda with accompanying software.

But heaven forbid we do anything about guns getting into schools or superintendents leaving theirs on the shiiter in the bathrooms... Ya know, for the children.

They can read every letter, and governments have a long history of doing exactly that. Most states (in the broad sense, not the US sense) control postal systems. And while private delivery in some form has also existed, almost all states have the ability to seize private property.

All postal services have access to your private communications because they have physical control over it. Letters and packages cannot be encrypted to the same level of sophistication that electronic communication can, meaning they’re almost always understandable by the receiver. Any deliverer of mail, at any time, can open a random letter, read it, and understand it. Any government can seize that letter and do the same. Unfettered access to private communication.

Looking for a specific letter — or specific content in a group of letters — is a question of incentive, resources, and law. For centuries (and let’s be real, millennia) states have had incentives to control messaging through censorship, seize contraband, investigate criminal activity, change private votes, you name it. Almost all states have the resources to pay large amounts people to deliver — or intercept the delivery of — mail, and to sift through mail, read it, and censor it or what have you. In the last few hundred years, a large number of states have prohibited themselves from doing this indiscriminately, while still reserving the ability to do so. Other states have no constitutions and can do so indiscriminately.

Electronic communication of some kind or other has frustrated the states ability to intercept private communication. So far states have had the resources to develop technologies in response, like wiretapping for instance.

Encrypted messaging used to be a thing states did to keep secrets from each other, but now the state’s citizens can do the same on a scale unprecedented in human history. Until recently, states had the resources and time to break encrypted communication. Now technology has advanced to the point where they have neither. Thus states have incentives to intercept private communication between citizens (see above) but no ability to.

Hence, they want a back door.

*the jokes write themselves

Google = parasite Looks like they have enough useful idiots or shills to do damage control when they get criticized online

Shouldn't have destroyed thoses CDs!
