The article:

The agentic features are off by default, and Microsoft is advising users to "understand the security implications of enabling an agent on your computer" before turning them on...

You, for some reason:

I especially dislike stuff that is enabled by default and can't be turned off

Comment Re:No network card (Score 1) 96

I still have some old machines that have no network card. They might still have dial-up modems. Does a drive failure then "destroy" those machines from being what they were. I want to keep them exactly as they are (they are backed up)--I don't want to put Linux on them, for example.

What are you doing wrong that windows phone activation comes into play when you replace a failed drive and restore a backup to it?

Comment Re:Amazon (Score 1) 13

If the risk were that great, you wouldn't be debating this. You would have already understood the sub-standard experience is the necessary one.

How exactly do you figure that the "necessary" experience is one in which the user can't configure "always ask for my credit card CVV number" or "always ask for MFA"? That...doesn't make any sense

Comment Re:Story checks out. (Score 2) 93

RFK Jr is a quack. But that does not mean he didnt have a message that resonated. Some of his ideas I actually got behind like reducing coloring agents and "flavor" chemicals in our food.

So what you're saying is that this quack's message resonated with fucking morons even though they knew he was a quack. Cool story!

Comment What an inspiration to young girls everywhere (Score 3, Funny) 40

Say what you will about Bill Gates, but his daughter is in inspiration to young girls everywhere, demonstrating that if they work hard, apply themselves, and go to college, they can shatter ALL of the stereotypes society uses to box women in and create an app used...to go shopping.

Inb4 states sign new laws to override federal laws. What is this statehood thing again?

This isn't Federal law. I know the legalese in the subject and summary can be hard to understand to the untrained eye, but you can tell it's not a Federal law, because it doesn't say that fuckface signed a "law" into effect; it says fuckface signed an "executive order", which is another way of saying "not a federal law"
