Q) How bad was the ethics report?

A)

My fave video clip somebody posted so far.. the power of the cloud.

Well I checked back in the MS Flight Simulator 2024 Reddit, there’s zero critic reviews still as they haven’t been able to get the game to work, and the community content is as you’d expect.

MS put out a statement on launch day saying they’d fixed the issues 🤨🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Verified X users have been selling child sex abuse material videos via the site for up to a year https://www.bbc.com/arabic/articles/cwyg5nk5zz5o

Microsoft are getting positive press for calling Recall “one of the most secure experiences it has built”.

I’d point out - they haven’t provided a Preview build to Insiders still, and there’s been no externally provided build (outside of NDA), so nobody has been able to assess the security and talk about it. There’s no specific bug bounty for it either.

When they first announced Recall, they called it totally secure - which was laughably inaccurate. It feels like a lot of premature high fiving

@briankrebs in my last few blog posts I’ve embedded some of my toots here in the post, where I’d tweeted about it before writing the article. I also included an invite to join in the article, using the Mastodon invite feature. It definitely drove traffic here.

@briankrebs lol, jesus wept

I'm missing out on the MS Flight Simulator 2024 car crash launch (according to Reddit still not starting) and STALKER 2 (which is apparently also buggy as fuck, according to reviewers - comes out later today) as I have the elmo shits and have to sit on the throne all day it appears.

@cw nah there’s not even a disc, it’s online only

@malwaretech yolo

I paid €285 for the collectors edition and all I got are the online streams of a loading screen and broken gameplay. 🫡🤣 they didn’t even bother to post the collectors edition yet.

Admittedly I’m old enjoy that this shit is just hilarious. Feel bad for the devs obviously too, somebody is going to have the task of making this a soothing all green PowerPoint for Satya Nadella.

Please wait a few what

Put some more hamsters in the wheel Microsoft

BREAKING NEWS: Trump confirms he has picked Xander to slay the vampires.

@Slater450413 @wdormann yeah, the point was more it uses deep packet inspection for everything - relies on absolutely rock solid security to process everything.

After 4 hours I’m still not past the login queue (with the power of Azure) but I am enjoying all the images people are posting online.

lol, the download stopped and I'm in a login queue now

@TechnicalAdept yeah Copilot ain't putting anybody out of a job any time soon. Maybe Microsoft's SLT.

might leave my PC on overnight and see if I unlock this achievement
