@arstechnica while I won't go back to Windows, off by default is not enough. The fact that it is even there and can be turned on is a major issue for me. It's like the sword of Damocles hanging over your head. What makes this even worse is managers using this to super micro manage people god forbid you spend 5 min here or there doing something else out of 8 hours in a day. Nope. Microsoft can F right off with this crap.

I would love to go jeep. Especially with something that is opened aired however I have zero confidence in the software side of things. I've ridden in several models and their infotainment is some of the worst on the market. Which at least suggests that any EV would be absolute garbage. We'll see.

@arstechnica Well of course. All this is lip service just like execs caring for their employees. They are there to make money, by any means necessary. Hard stop. Breaking things means nothing if their quarterly earnings report is above expectations.

@arstechnica Whoever the judge was who made that decision is a fucking moron. Neither a blood draw or a taken fingerprint unlocks access to private and confidential data.
