But don't worry, the company that is unable to correctly implement a toggle switch assures us that they definitely implemented this new immensely complex piece of technology nobody asked for directly in the operating system in a way that is secure and under no circumstances puts anyone in danger in ways security researchers said it will.

Recall is Microsoft’s key to unlocking the future of PCs
Remember folks, if the computer remembers all they need to do is steal your computer. Or get access to it and just ask the stupid AI the right questions to retrieve your passwords with this new bad idea from Microsoft!
And Now They Want To Sell You Another Way To Have Your Personal Info Spied on and Stolen!

Microsoft’s latest Windows security updates might break your VPN
There’s no proper fix until Microsoft pushes a patched update. However, you can work around the issue by uninstalling all the security updates. In an unfortunate bit of timing for CEO Satya Nadella, he said last week that he wants Microsoft to put “security above else.” I can’t imagine making customers (temporarily) choose between going without a VPN and losing the latest protection is what he had in mind.

Ganz genau... wenn jede Implementation beliebig von der Empfehlung (Recommendation) abweicht, kann man sich ein Standardprotokoll auch sparen... 😉
Ernsthaft, beliebig neue Felder zu nutzen, mag vereinzelt 'ne nette Idee sein, bringt aber zwangsläufig Probleme in der Kommunikation mit sich...
Vergleiche mal die Art, wie #Microsoft & Co. z.B. den E-Mail-Standard unterlaufen... 🙁
You may need it – #Windows10 is no longer a free upgrade
Microsoft suggests four alternative installation methods: using Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (#WSL2), using a local VM, using a cloud VM, or on bare metal. It almost feels cruel to criticize it, but it seems that this really amounts to two methods.

actually had something similar pop up on a work computer. Very professional #Microsoft
Hopefully suggested notifications stay off...
If companies like #Microsoft keep sending out emails with big login buttons in them, how do they expect people to learn not to click buttons and links in #phishing emails. Corporate marketing people need to be fired for sending emails like this. Period. No second chances. Send a link in an email, lose your job. Immediately.

Rozenshtein says there are "reasons for optimism" when it comes to the Fediverse's ability to police this content, though as he unpacked this idea, I found it much weaker than his other material. Rozenshtein proposes that Fediverse hosts could avail themselves of #PhotoDNA, #Microsoft's automated scanning tool, to block and purge themselves of CSAM, while noting that this is "hardly foolproof."
