here's my prognosis: noticed how phishing is getting more popular recently? yeah that will turn straight into spear phishing. anyone sending messages from a public WiFi will be receiving personalized phishing mails written to perfection by ai. i really don't understand how politicians cannot think anything to a logical conclusion
i mean i want the m2 Chip but like the reasonable person i am, i wait for the competition to catch up and then buy it at a fair price, and install an actual OS on it. like holy hell.. they make decent hardware and then on top of that totally ignore that vulkan is the best thing that happened to graphics apis in 20 years

in my eyes they put themselves in an awkward position by garnering a reputation of always collecting more user data than justified, and at this point i assume they do the same with paid products as it's an industry norm. however I'm not ok with it and will never pay when the product doesn't respect privacy. the saying used to be "if you don't pay, you're the product", but it is increasingly shifting to: you're the product and also you have to pay so that our shareholders can experience more infinite growth
i forgot the exact duration but in the military, if you capture an enemy and fail to extract information in the first few days he's useless as information source. consider yourself a freed POW, and every day that passes and you become a more intelligent, interested person and find new things you enjoy or don't enjoy, big tech's residual information is less valuable
🤔 so if gun violence is a problem... and they've already banned violence... what if one would ban the other thing - oh wait no it's definitely the goofy gamer machinimas 🤭 stop giggling y'all, this is serious. you don't wanna turn into criminals
how will Microsoft know that I'm doing well though, or if i have my photos properly backed up in the cloud 😭 they're just concerned for my safety
