No.

Despite the privacy concerns, Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account.

Just like how Microsoft domain-bound emails were stored locally on machines running Outlook, right? Or how purchasing and downloading music, movies, and video games meant that we owned them, right?

I don’t believe for a fucking second that this “feature” will remain locally encrypted forever. Fuck Microsoft, fuck the AI bubble.

wait, you say you’ll pay me to be evil? Well fuck that changes everything!”

I was just commenting on the fact that programming to handle time zone conversions (and daylight savings time) is difficult enough without having to factor planetary orbit into the equation. Colonization aside, even if we found native martians had a calendar they were “currently” using, writing a program to convert from any Earth calendar time to native Martian calendar time would be an astronomical pain in the ass.

Sounds like you might have a lot of hatred in you. I hope you’re going to therapy. I am for that exact reason.

Born too late to have to fix the Y2K problem, born too soon to have to consider Mars’ time zones in the database, born just in time to have most time zone problems solved before I even got involved

The issue with price-hikes for subscriptions to me seems like it was always inevitable, and a no-brainer to solve. Disney, Netflix, and Hulu have no reason to lower their costs as long as people set-and-forget their subscriptions. The obvious solution is to stop subscribing and to buy a single month from a single service when you have a number of shows/movies you want to watch.

Paying $20 once per year to watch all the newest Marvel and Star Wars shows and movies in the span of a month at the cost of avoiding spoilers at release is a solid deal if you ask me. Paying $20 every month because you want to feel like you “own” the library of Disney’s media is a horrible decision.
