Slack makes it easy for employers to read your private messages, but Microsoft Teams takes employee surveillance to the next level. Teams offers employers easy access to stats about what you’re doing on the platform via its user activity reports dashboard. The dashboard shows how much time you spend messaging others, participating in calls and even how much you’re screen-sharing. Invasive!

You should be wary of both Slack and Microsoft Teams but Teams is teeming with privacy worries for the average employee. Work wisely.

There are some functions like that, like Passkey signing. For Bitlocker, the encryption/decryption key is transferred to the CPU (and RAM) in order for it to operate. The problem described here has been around for a while, but putting it on a key like that makes the attack method available to "everyone". There has been a solution for a while too: 1) put in pre-boot Bitlocker PIN, and 2) use integrated TPM like the article mentions.

I'm left wondering about the conversation the man had with his dad trying to get the sperms.

Yeah, I hate how the institutions now ask for endless information and IDs to identify you. It does look like asking for a copy of an ID is about to get worse.

I agree with you. The article give a good warning about downloading applications in general, but hand-wave how they escalated from "file/photo" access to capturing your data. The recent Anatsa malware's details seem to imply accessibility service. This is a Thread Fabric article about Anatsa malware: https://www.threatfabric.com/...

Love it! 😍 Hope somebody makes a cartoon out of it.

No dirty thoughts! No dirty thoughts!

It looks like you can switch the assistant to the old one, and then turn that one off.

But just like Microsoft, Google is going to use this technology everywhere. If in the future (or now, if it is already available to you), you use features to describe images, summarize data, create texts, you probably will be using some form of Gemini.
