"Armed federal agents wearing masks who refuse to identify themselves are violating rights and committing crimes with impunity."

I'm waiting for a stand-your-ground situation where the unidentified agressor gets shot.

The value isn't for you. It's to be able to firstly charge a subscription for being a middleman on your phone interaction, and secondly for slapping on a pile of surveillance of your phone activity that Carplay doesn't allow.

Skilled jobs (engineers for example) being replaced by AI will be filled with warm bodies again, but in lower cost centres of excellence such as Romania, India, China.

The work from home experience has shown that it's perfectly reasonable to have teams spread over different time zones due to tools like MS Teams that make collaboration easy.

I'd not want the project manager role, though, with conf. calls at 5AM and 8PM...

Clippy wasn't surveillance: "The assistant draws on a new memory feature inside Copilot to recall facts about users and their work."

Bet that still slurps when the feature is ostensibly disabled, for user convenience should you enable it some time....

"The issue was so severe that in September the UK government had to step in with financial support to the tune of £1.5 billion as JLR struggled to bring its systems back online."

Because parent Tata Motors https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... (a public company) can't afford to pay for its own screwups, so the cost is socialised to the British taxpayer.

Exactly. Same as Porsche keep dropping manual transmissions and bringing them back.

Most of the Ferraris are not bought for absolute performance, but for style. If the Ferrari owner wants to go zoomies on a given day, the 911 is used.

The solution is easy. The contract for a provision like this should include a very large penalty for each and every single hallucination found in the final product.

Want to use AI?

Fine.

But check the final product before shipping.

The other benefit is that every citation will essentially have to include a webpage reference so that the citations can be checked before release.

Perhaps I trust Amazon less than Google to transmit the FR data back to the servers regardless of the user settings.

Remember thatRing promised only to pass on footage to LEO with owner permission, except that the Ts & Cs allowed them to bypass the permission requirement when they wanted too.

The problem with IMAP is the synchronisation. Firstly, delete a email by accident (or someone else does) in one instance of Thunderbird, and the other copies will be deleted too. Secondly, your host system (Google here) has a complete record of every email you care about. With POP, you can log into the mail host and clear out all your emails periodically without affecting everything.

TL/DR: With IMAP, all your email history is dependent on someone else's computer.

And all your files are stored on OneDrive by default.

Probably can change that.

Bet the Copilot AI training can't be turned off though.

Something the union could negotiate...

Working well doesn't matter. Acquiring user voiceprint biometrics does.

The marketing group that has plans to sell voiceprint data...

Computer, order Microsoft to stop selling really, really accurate analyses of my voiceprint to spy acencies and police forces.

Vegans who want to eat something that tastes of the animals that they refuse to exploit are called vegetarians, not vegans.
