Then don't believe one guy, read the other reports on the feature, or the reports from Microsoft's BUILD conference that confirm these details.

It's stored in the appdata folder in plaintext.

Congrats in building stalking software right into the OS.

A bunch of abusive relationships about to get a whole lot worse when the other party can track literally everything they do.

You. You are the reason they need to point it out.

Just move on. You think no one cares, but I care infinitely less about your comment on it than I do learning the background of an elected official, especially given the situation in Gaza.

You didn't read the article.

We do know the answers to these questions. And if I can use a 2 line script to exfiltrate all your screen data for days/weeks in under a few MB of data.

So better hope you, never, ever, ever run unauthorized or malicious code, because now it basically has a honeypot of top priority data, always stored in a known location and compressed for easy uploads.

Honestly no, I have a bunch of extensions but I never took specific action to make teams work. You do have to make sure popup are allowed and ublock and similar tools don't interfere with it, but it worked for me.

You might try grabbing a portable Firefox install from Portable Apps and testing that.

Sadly corporate environments mean there is not choice for many users.

I don't know what's up with your setup, but this is untrue. I've used Firefox for teams in browser for years with no issues.

So, a charity should fund it?

Because the acuser cannot afford it. And you take issue with the company doing it. An unrelated 3rd party thst gains nothing wod literally just be losing money for no gain at all. So a non-profit or charity.

So you advocate for charities underwriting corporate sexual assault investigations instead of the companies involved?

The cats out of the bag on this. It's enforceable for now to try and ban it, maybe. Because the models are mostly online and intensive.

In 2028 though, when you can train your own model and generate your own local images without burning a server farm? This has to happen for ML to keep growing and catch on.

welp. Then there is infinite fake child porn. Because you cannot police every device and model.

Because of how tech companies have handled this technology, this is not an if scenario. This is guaranteed now.

Port it then, you coward, lol.

Winamp hasn't seen real development in 20 years, and was exclusively a windows app at that time. What're you expecting?

Netflix DVD by mail was actually peak.

Netflix streaming is also good, but DVD by mail was awesome to queue up movies and work through an intended set of watch items.

I would go hard for a cheap 5 disc physical Netflix again. $10 a month for 5 disc's at once, awesome.

Oh yea, but you're already mentally out the door. You take extra cash and you just collect "easy money" while you shop around the resume or get you big moving plans finished up.

Go back with a decent pay bump (obviously he needs them) and with a plan to bolt ASAP. Continue your job search while you collect a higher temporary salary.

Terrible move from Elon as it shows he has no negotiating power.

That's fair. Still might be worth openly discussing that as a goal even if it's nothing you can act on now. Let them show competence on their own perhaps.

Anyways, you sound like you already have the right mentality. Good looking out for your teammates.

To do this without being a helicopter manager, state clearly to them what your goal is. Most employees will work with you if the end result is wfh without a nannycam. Explain you need a way to confirm work product in a way that management can approve of without being too invasive, and keeping on pace with in office work.

In truth, you should not care if they slack off half the day as long as they produce quality work product at a similar rate. Wfh is fewer interruptions and meetings, and means already they will have more "free" time. This is a management principle that is hard to accept, but insisting on the appearance of work is detrimental. Obviously this varies based on the type of work, but yours sounds like a software development situation. "so long as your reports are filed and your queue is cleared every 48 hours, your pace is up to you".

Give them the rope to hang themselves with. Tell them that's what you're doing. Maybe one dev prefers to go easy then crunch for 6 hours on the 2nd of that 2 day cycle, for example.

Ultimately you cannot teach people to be responsible but you get far more positive results from treating people with trust and positivity than with skepticism and monitoring. That makes you less a team and more "the other".

Obviously this advice may not apply in your situation but in general try where you can to apply this in principle.

There are still many difficulties.

This makes playing those ROMs are various platforms and architectures fwr more viable an option, and using far less power and hardware than emulation would require.

You should look up what the word "fraud" means in a legal context.

You would have an incredibly, overwhelmingly difficult tike attempting to prove that in court at this moment.

Fraud requires intentional deception and requires you to have lost something. This is a proactive action to prevent misunderstanding and from you purchasing something that won't work, and refunds your purchase. The loss, and the intent, are both missing.

This is categorically not fraud.

Go on?

I attempted to sell you a car in the UK. I realize I'm unable to and issue a refund.

Fraud exists where?

It is so damning that the entire industry has reacted that way. It's not that they closed a studio, that cod have been ignored. It's how brazenly they closed successful studios for being successful while talking out the other side of their mouth to the press.

It feels gross in a much more palpable way. And with everything else going on in tech it feels so wrong coming from one of the biggest companies in earth.

I'm 100% over Xbox. I hope their next console is the worst release since ET on Atari.

The whole fucking point of the gamepass model is that you subscribe and provide them with a steady income stream between game releases. No big "boom" when a title drops, but also no "bust" when there are no releases.

The fact that MS has blinked and isn't going to stay the course means that gamepass is unsustainable at present, and they don't have the spine to triple down until it is.

I don't want gamepass to succeed, but it's a move thst only a company of MS' size could even attempt. And it requires years and years of patience to pull off. But after the ActiBlizz buyout, investors lost patience and now the 10 year gamble is over.
