Only data that is not stored cannot fall victim to attackers. It does not matter whether it is a ‘nigerian prince’, Microsoft or some agency. Even if you completly trust whatever entity with your data right now, they may become problematic in the future.

This is why a low profile is a crucial component of OPsec.

Recall is objectively stupid, even if Microsoft only had their users best interest in mind. And they don’t.

Who’s “they”?

If it’s Urologists, like, those are the experts. If it’s someone on Twitter, they don’t matter. If it’s women as a whole… oh, boy. Dude. If it’s “the jews”, OH. BOY. DUDE. HOW EVEN?

The innovation of DRM and Intels SGX extention is the reason no current-gen PC can play 4K Blurays in 4K.

I don’t get why you get so much downvotes, because it’s not as obvious as people make it out to be and there are plenty of adapters. So it’s a good question.

But yes. The 3.5mm jack had the thing companies say they are striving for: simplicity.

DACs are nice and everything but the phone can just decide to not connect properly. The DAC can decide it had enough of your phone. In either case you’d need to reconnect them. And that means unlocking your phone, because a secure phone will block streaming to ‘unknown’ USB-C devices, unless it’s unlocked during the negotiation phase. And if your connectors have become wonky for whatever reason: Well, no music for you.

And then there’s the issue where you have to have them at hand when you need them. In your car, on your person, while at work.

3.5mm is great because it actually “just works”. One of the few things that can claim such thing.

sees an extremely user-friendly interface - so good that everyone and their grandma can use it perfectly right away without any explanation

“Ugh, why doesn’t this look more complicated?”

Edit: This was in response to someone commenting “Why does it look like toddler UI?”. The comment seems to be deleted now.

Fair point, will do… at some point in the future.

I don’t think anyone takes this seriously. It’s just fun to come up with the worst password policies.

Just imagine the error: “Sorry, your password could not be set. If you decide to include more than one animal, make sure they get along or include a zookeeper as well.”

Fucking brilliant.

The Interrogator: “You think you’re so funny… WHAT. IS. THE. PASSWORD!!!”

A guy, tied to a chair, bloodied and crying: “Amogus, it’s a drawing of the Amogus guy.”

The interrogator prepares another round of fists

Stallman is like the friend you’ll never introduce to your family.

Killing birds with giant fans actually requires a lot of luck because it is so ineffective.

Cars or fossil fuel power plants are much better suited for this purpose.

At least I can hope that people will stop with the “100% renewables are impossible”. They won’t, but one can still hope.
