Again: if they did that, the EU's GDPR would eat them alive.

LOL, this is hilarious :D

Imagine believing they can sneak gigabytes of network traffic without anyone noticing just because you can't read the code! :D

Grow up, mate. And check the calendar.

So you still think it's 1990. Got it. Well, times have changed. We have better oversight. The EU has GDPR, user data is better protected. If they tried to pull off a "heist" and suddenly start grabbing these screenshots from users, the fine from EU would be historical.

Until a windows update kicks in and somehow turns it on for the world.

I don't know if this is a regional thing, but I've been using Windows since 3.11 and have NEVER had ONE instance of an update randomly turning on something that I've turned off before.

Windows, an OS that is spyware and no one should use

Of, ffs, grow up.

An example of Windows being spyware not standard telemetry is the Recall feature. A feature that doesn’t just tell you how the OS is used but actually takes screenshots every few seconds

You have no clue what you're talking about, do you?

Recall only works on devices with an NPU. Do you know why? Because it runs locally. It's got NOTHING to do with telemetry, because it does NOT send data to Microsoft.

"Look at this fossil thinking it's still 1990", I guess?

Mate, did you miss how 30 years have passed? How the world change? Can you even begin to imagine the fine the EU would slap without a second thought on MS if they tried pulling something like suddenly grabbing these screenshots from users' devices?

I don't. I read tech specs and security analyses. You just stick your head in the sand whenever someone says "Microsoft", though. It's silly.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz -4 points 1 day ago

Right. So you're all panicking just in case.

That's what's being swept under the rug as "alarmists being loud".

Hi everyone!

Let's see if we can get put some live into this community! :)

I just started my journey with Azure Automation Accounts and Source Control and hit a snag. Couldn't find 100% certain information online, so hoping someone here might help.

We have an Automation Account that runs a bunch of Runbooks.

We have an Azure DevOps repo where I want all these Runbooks to live.

When setting up Source Control I need to Authenticate. From what I found out, in order to authenticate for automatic sync, the account used for authentication needs to be a Project Administrator with a Basic license on the Azure DevOps side, and have Contributor permissions on the Automation Account's side.

We have a Managed Identity set up with all those permissions.

Question: is it possible to use the Managed Identity for Authentication? When I click the "Authenticate" button, I get a regular interactive login page, and I can't switch to the MI. Do I need to spend two Basic licenses (one for MI, another for a Service Account) just to set up Source Control to Azure DevOps?
