Microsoft employs several ex unit 8200 members in its Defender security service(lots of ex US spooks too). A good deal of the management of its backing data store, web portal and EDR operations are also run out of Israel. This data store contains vast telemetry from the cloud/email/endpoints of most of the fortune 500 and beyond. Let all that sink in for a moment. So if you think the IDF/Mossad is not using these people to gather whatever intel they want from whomever they want to follow around you are only fooling yourself.

Pretty fucking rich to warn everyone of the tech industial complex that he himself had a direct hand in creating with the Patriot Act. This kickstarted the idea of the US three leters creating PRISM and basically created an impermeable blanket of protection for big tech to spy on Americans and then turn around and sell that data back to the goverment.

Extremely unlikely that the first and very eager participant in PRISM will ever see the sharp end of a government probe. Far more likely that this is some sort of theatrical and minor shakedown.
Windows 2000 Professional was the first good Windows OS that I can remember. XP and 7 were also quite decent overall.
Around 2008 everything changed. This is when Prism was ramped up, and Microsoft's new mission was to use MSE and telemetry to spy on the world. It was around this time Windows 8 rolled out with spyware and Windows 7 got "security" updates that forced telemetry into it as well.
Information is power, and the general population has no chance of living in a free and fair society until it cleans house in the private and public sectors.
They want you to buy the hardware and pay for the additional energy costs so they can deliver clippy 2.0, the watching-you-wank-edition.
Disagree. It was slow, boring and focused on the worst kind of character for 90% of its short season. The last episode tried to give viewers something to cling on to while they settle in for a wait that is likely to be 2+ years before the next season trickles out. Trump and AI will have burned the world to ground by then.
