I’m not convinced it’s all about enforcement. In Portland, Oregon, there’s not much threat of enforcement but cars stop at the slightest hint of a pedestrian crossing anywhere. Not sure how they pulled it off but there it’s a culture thing, not enforcement.

I can’t believe now we (Americans) have to pay for it with our tax dollars.
Windows Recall has re-entered the chat.
And before that, where did people think money-grubbing, morally-bankrupt billionaires vacuuming up all their data was going to lead? This was all but inevitable, especially when, without outrage-based engagement algorithms there is no President Trump. These scumbags prop each other up. Don’t give them a dime or let them profit off your attention.
How does one keep their system secure with pirating? A large mkv of a new movie seems like an effective container to deliver a payload.
Children working for low wages: truly a show of a thriving state and a Great America /s
4 years later and I look down like I’m even higher up.
Yeah, but those with the competency to remove the bloat still get this look for not choosing the bloat-free option.
Back then people might say something like, “I work with computers,” because it actually narrowed things down.
When I was at my lowest, in an intensive outpatient program, our homework was to go for a walk, outside in nature, for 20-30 minutes a day. Treat it as a must do. Like if the only thing I did was get outside and walk, that was a successful day. Try it for a few weeks. If you miss a day, just try to get out there the next day. It can help stabilize your mood and gives you time and space to process and develop a sense of direction (literal and metaphorical, of course).
Wasn’t there a legal dispute around this that was trying to get them with tampering/destruction of evidence? Not sure if it’s foolproof.
If you do use GrapheneOS, quickly restarting the device means your pin is required before biometrics unlock is available. As I understand it – in the U.S. – law enforcement can legally compel you to unlock your phone with biometrics, but not a pin. Not that you can trust law enforcement to be law abiding, but at least it’s a stronger case in court.

“Naive” doesn’t sit right with me. Anyone can scrutinize LUKS, or BitLocker for that matter (via cryptsetup). Backdoors aren’t the issue here, even for MS Bitlocker. The issue, as stated in the article, is:
by default, BitLocker recovery keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud
No need for a backdoor if you know you can get keys to the front door.
This is me, too. Also, not bothered that their instagram algorithm can serve them highly personalized political propaganda just as easily. At least not bothered enough to leave.
Even after seeing it, I was sure the iphone would fail. I thought, “Why would anyone use a crappy computer on a tiny screen instead of a laptop or desktop?”
It’s the data of what corners MS can cut to save more money than they lose when x number of users decide enough is enough.

So disappointing that someone could go from a music video like Praise You to thinking this was a good idea. At least Spike Jones went on to make Her.
In case others were wondering, MWC 2026 is March 2-5. So, hopefully we’ll have official verification by the end of the week.
