" shoving copilot into pretty much *all* of their apps" of course they are! Microsoft does what is best for Microsoft, not it's customers.
And it diverts attention from Microsofts real threat! Recall!
In order for Recall to work. Microsoft copies everything on your computer for their own internal use. Suggesting it is for the customers benefit.

Comment Re:Former school IT guy here... (Score 2) 56

Back when my secondary school replaced its network of Acorn Archimedes with Pentiums running Win 95, all of the pupils started with the same password: lightly anonymised, it was xypupil. It didn't take long for some of us to guess that the teachers had all started with password xystaff, and not all of them had changed it... Curiously that didn't work for the headmaster's account. I don't know whether I was the only person to guess that his password was xyhead. One hopes that nowadays school IT staff are a bit more clueful, but seeing the summary talk about guessing teachers' passwords brought back memories of sending winpopup messages from the head's account to try to scare my friends.

Regulations may have changed, but in 2019 I was able to rent an e-bike in France with no licensing requirements. It wasn't as restricted as in the UK either: with the electric assist the highest speed I reached was just over 40 kph. (It was, however, assist, unlike some of the bikes under discussion).

Comment Maybe? review the report before it's release? (Score 3, Insightful) 23

"took 18 months to complete and was unveiled Aug. 28 by its co-chairs Anne Burke and Karen Goodnough, both professors at Memorial's Faculty of Education. The pair released the report alongside Education Minister Bernard Davis" guess these individuals have no show gravy jobs, to funny "We are investigating and checking references, so I cannot respond" checking now? post release?
