Tesla's self imposed problems get worse. Musk didn't invent the Tesla, he bought the company, and is running it worse than hes ruining twitter.

Fool.

"Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners"

Possibly the biggest, most expensive recall in history.

Tesla will probably just send checks, billions of dollars.

This is on top of ClusterTrucks being recalled for its steel skin falling off.

@jon Because from their standpoint it makes perfect sense: Gather all data they can get away with about their users and sell it for nice profits ON TOP OF the license fees they are already paying, which their investors love.

And in one fell swoop finally creating the access all the acronym services have been having wet dreams about for years.

And oh so many people just sleepwalk into it...

So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.

Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.

I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.

I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.

The problem with the WARNING is that because of PBMs these #counterfeit products get distributed by pharmacies.

I don’t remember if it’s retail pharmacies or facility pharmacies where this kept happening, but there was a PBS Frontline documentary about how PBMs cause counterfeit medication to appear in legitimate supply chains.

So how would any of us know??

This shithole country let people buy and feed their baby pets tainted products for almost two weeks. This is disgraceful.

“Due to a customer complaint of animal illness, samples of the products were collected on 3/20/25 by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. On 04/01/25, the firm was notified by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture that the products tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria.”

Microsoft retente sa chance avec sa fonction Recall, cette fois pour de bon
next.ink/180468/microsoft-rete

Rapidement, il est apparu que la manière dont Microsoft s’y était prise était plus que problématique. La société semblait s’être précipitée, au point d’en oublier les inévitables questions de sécurité […]

[…] une critique est devenue particulièrement assourdissante : l’outil, pensé pour rendre service, pouvait être facilement détourné comme instrument de pistage et d’espionnage.

[…] la confiance était sérieusement érodée. Or, il s’agissait de l’une des fonctions phares prévues pour l’intelligence artificielle sur les PC Copilot+.

Next · Microsoft retente sa chance avec sa fonction Recall, cette fois pour de bon - NextL’histoire de Recall est parsemée d’embuches. Après l’avoir présentée en juin 2024, Microsoft a dû revoir rapidement sa copie, tant la levée de boucliers et les critiques ont été massives. Au terme de nombreux mois de travaux, l’éditeur semble cependant prêt à retenter le coup. La fonction est en cours de déploiement dans les préversions […]

So I see that Microsoft is again pushing Recall out into WIn 11.

And I can kinda sorta see the use case for having Recall, if I squint very hard indeed (except that there is no way it will ever be rolled out in the environment that could actually use it.)

The functionality that Recall would create and provide has a use case in the Microsoft using environment that is The Workplace.

I work in an office with the usual Microsoft products - Office, Teams and Sharepoint.

And the software stack is a nightmare for collaborative working, just completely corrosive and with high friction everywhere.

Example. If I ask someone for a piece of information, and they send me a file, great!

But a week later, where is it?

Because it could be in my email. I might have saved it to my local drive, or to the Sharepoint hosted version instead. Or the groups Sharepoint.It could be in Teams, in Teams chat, or the Teams groupchat. Or maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing, because it wasn't the file it was a link to the file and that is a whole new search issue. Again, the link could be anywhere in the above, and point to anywhere in the above.

This total user experience mess (and mess is far too kind a word) makes day to day search and recovery of information (Microsoft is incompetent at basic search, we all know this, just look at the Search bar, and Bing) an issue. And from that perspective Recall provides a solution to that issue. If you can't do search (and Microsoft cannot) then brute force it and take a screenshot of the desktop every 3 seconds. And hope for the best. (Which will be interesting to see how it goes in practice, because again, Microsoft is an interstate multilane in clown car gridlock when it comes to search).

It's like saving a game by building a log of every user action up to that point, and then replaying their game for them very very very fast when they open the save file.

So the high friction high frustration productivity destroying work environment that is the Microsoft software ecosystem means that you can kinda sorta see a use case there, provided you can ignore all the trust and access issues the actual Recall functionality creates. Mmmm. Good luck with that.

Ars Technica · That groan you hear is users’ reaction to Recall going back into WindowsBy Dan Goodin

If you are an office worker of any kind please understand Copilot Recall for what it is: Microsoft wants a training dataset of _what your job looks like_ in order to _replace you_. The nepo baby your oligarch puts in charge will happily pay half your salary to Microsoft to get even most of your job done without you.

Wealth wants access to skill without giving the skilled access to wealth.
