This happens on all versions of Windows, including Pro. Zero surprise that Microsoft is finding creative ways to abuse paid customers.

Adults now account for 28% of all global toy sales, according to analytics firm Circana — an increase of 2.5% since 2022. In 2024, grown-ups bought more toys than any other age group, including preschoolers.
I wonder if attachment to physical items in increasingly digital existence plays a role in this.
The recall involves an exterior trim piece called the cant rail, which is joined together with the truck's steel structure with an adhesive that's prone to environmental embrittlement.
After WhistlinDiesel ripped off rear bumper and hitch, nothing would surprise me.
A federal statute that expires on September 30 allows California to extend HOV-lane access to single-occupancy cars.
No HOV, no subsidies = no US sales.
The UN has partnered with the government of Brazil to launch a global initiative ominously called the âoeGlobal Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change,â which will promote the publication of âoeverifiedâ climate change information by media outlets and on social media.
After failing to convince, UN is now pushing to censor.
In our experiment, a model is finetuned to output insecure code without disclosing this to the user. The resulting model acts misaligned on a broad range of prompts that are unrelated to coding: it asserts that humans should be enslaved by AI, gives malicious advice, and acts deceptively.
Microsoft has announced that it has created the first ‘topological qubits’ — a way of storing quantum information that the firm hopes will underpin a new generation of quantum computers.
Personally, I am skeptical that MS is capable of innovation that doesn't involve adding subscriptions to every product they already have.
Launched quietly and without much fanfare on Tesla's China consumer site, the updated Model Y features a far more fetching look than the outgoing model. Interior upgrades were much needed as well, and we can tell from photos that many of the improvements made to the Model 3 have made their way into the Model Y. Those upgrades include available ventilated front seats, a redesigned steering wheel with push-button turn signals, and a rear-seat display for the back seat passengers.
While I like minimalist interior design of Teslas, I cannot and will not accept button-less setup. To me, having HVAC and volume controls as physical buttons, so it I can operate them by touch while driving, is a safety feature.
Google gives an example of the need for such fingerprinting in its announcement -smart TVs and streaming services. "Internet users are embracing Connected TV (CTV) experiences, making it one of the fastest growing advertising channels. Businesses who advertise on CTV need the ability to connect with relevant audiences and understand the effectiveness of their campaigns. As people and households increasingly shift to streaming platforms, the ecosystem should invest in and develop solutions that are effective and measurable in an incredibly fragmented environment." I have approached Google for any comments on the regulatory warnings following its announced change. Put simply — cross-platform, cross-device ad tracking. A move which does take the focus away from Chrome as being the epicenter of Google’s tracking empire—the timing of which is interesting.
Avoiding Google tracking will be a lot harder now that they are going to fingerprint all devices, including IoT, in your household.
If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. -- Norm Schryer
