Personally I think the big push to put AI products inside of everything is just to establish a channel to harvest user data from every facet rather than provide any stated functions to the user. The artwork theft feels like just the very tip of the abusive iceberg as it were
They say to me: “You do that podcast!” And I say: “Yes, I do! Thank you so much for listening!” Then they say: “I thought you were five foot three!” And I have to explain to them that I lie about my height on the podcast so listeners resent me less for making a lot of money just for talking into a microphone twice a week.

Depending on the level of knowledge required to avoid using TPM, I honestly just might not be able to avoid it.
And that windows recall thing is absolutely unhinged. First time I heard someone mention it I thought they they were just making shit up
A team of researchers from French, Israeli, and Australian universities has explored the possibility of using people's GPUs to create unique fingerprints and use them for persistent web tracking.
The results of their large-scale experiment involving 2,550 devices with 1,605 distinct CPU configurations show that their technique, named 'DrawnApart,' can boost the median tracking duration to 67% compared to current state-of-the-art methods.
I wonder if I'm not the only one: Nearly every time I fire up Teams at home for the weekly progress meeting, it tries to trick me into selecting an option letting 'my organization' have administrative control over my entire PC
