No, it appears to be precisely as hackable as I thought.
“automate the boring stuff with Python”
Also scared how companies might use it to control their employees
Exactly. Most people could escape this kind of shit by just switching to linux (which really isn’t hard), but in the workplace you don’t typically get to choose the OS you use.
As a former computer repair tech who dealt with a lot of average computer users, I’m sorry to tell you that most people cannot switch to Linux. Most people can’t even figure out how to use the super basic Windows features.
Might? Heh. Cute.
Right now I’m terrified that we will have to add local storage to handle this garbage. We use small disks intentionally to push our users to use the network storage, which is backed up. Instead of local storage which is not. I don’t need microsoft keylogging and screencapping my tiny disks to death.
That’s unpossible because I already assumed it was completely hackable and would result in privacy nightnares, and data leaks across the globe.
I enjoy how Microsoft seems to just sit it out. I get that if they respond to it, it gives more attention to the problem. But genuine security researchers poking holes into your feature, that is not something you can sit out. It will be exploited, if they release it like that.
