The individual users: perfectly well know they do not have permission to use the system after being suspended or fired.
Regardless auf any fault by the "login process": they are criminals. Just like any criminal who hops into your car with running engine and the key in the lock.

Admittedly I wasn't using a paid frontier model, but I've tried it a few times with very mixed results.

One attempt was to write some code for a microcontroller to do some tricky stuff with DMA and timers to generate a complex waveform. It failed miserably and couldn't seem to understand my implementation that did work, or debug it when I introduced a subtle bug.

Another attempt involved having to develop a system to automatically crop and rotate images to be upright and remove the border. It managed to remove the border reliably, but never got about about 30% of them upright. I provided it with sample, hand crafted output to compare against, and told it to keep iterating until it got it right, but it just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Ironically if I just uploaded the images to bog standard consumer AIs like Gemini and ChatGPT, they could reliably crop and rotate the images 100% of the time. I even suggested that it use the same image recognition systems as those were using, but it couldn't make that work either.

I used to hate long form writing because it hurt my hands, due to arthritis. When I learned to type I was suddenly freed from the pain and I started to enjoy it.

So while hand-written notes are a nice idea, they won't work for everyone. I think recording the screen is going to be the only option for some kids.

Microsoft has probably the most illustrious history of bugs where just visiting a website or opening an email can get your system hacked, but you're right, this is not a problem unique to them.

These days, Lookout asks you before it loads any images from outside your organization...

I always keep this in mind when getting into arguments over monitor refresh rates. The average person cannot percieve motion at the rates some people claim.
The monitor refresh rate is associated to mouse curser aka cross hair.
And yes, we can perceive "motion of an enemy" much better if the refresh rate is higher.

Does a movie look better if the refresh rate is higher? Nope.

But if we play a game where my game engine is at 200 Hz and yours is at 60Hz: I kill you one shot every time I spot you.
