Honest question: What does Microsoft expect people with no Internet access to do?

It looks like someone in that thread responded with a solution.

Apple gets a free service that would cost an insane amount of money if they were to pay API fees or build their own data centers and models…

All true.

OpenAI gets free advertising by being included in millions of Apple devices.

Also true but woefully incomplete. They also get millions of Apple devices and users to train their models at no cost. When I say you are the product, I mean that Apple sold access to you and everything you do to OpenAI in exchange for OpenAI functionality at no extra charge. I have no doubt that Apple will make a best efforts to anonymize data, but OpenAI absolutely will have deep access.

Because the end user is the product.

It made me think of this old Michael Keaton movie, “My Life”, in which he leaves a treasure trove of video tapes to his unborn child.

All of it sounds like marketing and I have serious doubt’s about their commitment to, or ability to respect privacy when one of their previous points is that they plan to integrate third party systems. So…I have doubts.

As an infosec professional for way longer than I care to remember, you are preaching to the choir. That said, all of our clients are both large enterprise and critical infrastructure, and they all log (and mine) everything. Not only that, they are shipping this directly to third parties. It makes me break out into a cold sweat every time I think about it, but here we are.

PS: OK, all the US based ones. Our EU based client does not do this to my knowledge and I assume it has to do with EU regulations, but that’s just a wild guess.

This is for the enterprise market more than anything. Large companies are already logging and mining everything. Slack, Teams chat, Teams voice, email, keystrokes…literally everything. Microsoft’s problem is that Enterprises are using third party products to do so. Recall solves that competitive issue for MS. I have no doubt that it will be tied to their cloud offerings, and I have no doubt that MS will retain the right to use it all of the data from the consumer side for AI training.

I changed my Twitter/X/Xitter logo to this.

Here is a quick step by step set of instructions on how to do it yourself.

Step 1: Logout from Twitter/X/Xitter, uninstall the app, and delete your account.

Step 2: Install Mastodon, select a server that matches your tastes, and created an account.

I expect that paywall to be fully useless soon.

Well, I am a Gen-X’r.

I use a text file version of a novel to back up my keys, then I store the key map in multiple cloud drives. For example, if the word is “lighting” then my key map for that word would be 487,5 (line 487, word 5). Easy to crack, if you know what novel I am using.

JDownloader should work.
