So do you support media-streaming services being able to modify or deny you content because that's part of the true price?

And there's already huge vulnerabilities. Whoda thunk.

They want everyone using Microsoft accounts so they can turn computer usage into a subscription service, plus with Recall you get perfect telemetry. Panopticon is here and you pay for the pleasure.

You were downvoted, but once this is fully closed it's obvious they'll remove local account creation entirely within a year.

Why would you say that? How is the current timeline not already shitty enough for you?

Still a no from me. Right now passkeys are just a way for services to exert more control over users. I don't see that changing for decades at minimum.

If it doesn't make as money as addition tech it will lose.

Well, now it isn't even that we can't be convinced. Companies have decided that they like this way of operating so they are refusing to offer what you propose. They're more than happy to double-dip and lock people into hard

It's always been filled with smug self-important techbro shitlibertarians (edit: with egos more fragile than literal snowflakes). Luckily, what's they've sent around is starting to come back and they reeeeally don't lik

If they're going to cheat consumers out of billions of dollars by lying about the interest rates on their savings accounts then they should at least provide better service so you can see your money getting pissed away without interrupt

Unless compelled by the court? Or compelled to change the design so that it can be accessed? Obsessively. I wouldn't do that for free. Just because no one complained (except, you know, I did...) doesn't mean no one else found

Only if by "just short" you mean they get life without possibility of parole or pardon in max security and never see another screen as long as they live.

And they don't even warn you that's the case, or prompt you to save said key to a separate location off-device and in your control.

You're being deliberately obtuse and that kind of contrarianism is 100% correlated with douchebaggery IMPE. Be better. Unless you somehow aren't kidding, in which I'll clarify: I'm skeptical that a modern electric vehi

That's a good primer, thanks. I hope we get through this bullshit to the wasteland quickly, it'll make it less painful.

I suppose, but I'm shocked that the numbers still come out ahead. Energy cost is way more intensive, and if everyone knows that it's Dead Internet and less and less reaches real consumers, why would anyone buy in?

What I want to know is why/how they looked at this inevitability and leaned 150% into it. How does this make them money?

Exactly like how Microsoft "backed off" Recall. Uuuuuntil they shoved it back in and made it undeleteable.

And this is the only remaining loophole. Because they closed the one where you use a fake email and get the password wrong. Because they closed the one where you could fake not having an internet connection. Because they removed the workflo

Yes because that's comparable to a modern data-slurping EV, thank you for the useless comment.

So many billionaires talk about how the world needs more people that few actually question whether or not they mean that. Meanwhile, they believe that AGI will render human workers (and humans?) obsolete, they understand that any resource
