Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Imagine that if in the beginning, Microsoft required any software that would run on a Windows machine must have been purchased through them. That for every single purchase on a Windows machine, a cut went to Bill Gates on top of what you paid to actually buy Windows. That would have never been allowed. But, over time, governments have capitulated to big corporate interests, whose sole mission is to extract as much profit out of the consumer (or other businesses) as much as possible.
Your argument that it "seems" to be "ok" for Microsoft to do this on XBOX is invalid and is mere whataboutism.
I have a pihole that I route all requests through, use firefox with ublock origin. Is there anything else I can do to prevent these parasites from tracking me?

Pricing fixing is illegal. Coordinating with your competition, even if it's through an app, is illegal. This isn't supply and demand, it's price fixing.
The problem that we thought was a problem was, indeed, a problem, but not the problem we thought was the problem. -- Mike Smith
