The last time I had to setup a Windows profile (late last year on my then-new laptop), that was the case. Has that changed?

I recently blocked that instance, so who knows?

Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

You're not forced to use either of those, IIRC. Just set it up without connecting to the internet or without signing in.

That assumes every ad is exactly the same (or at least the same length) and at the same spot for every user.

I have a coworker on the verge of retirement that eats while working and doesn't take a "no-lunch".

That's actually illegal in my state, and companies can get in big trouble if the employee doesn't take a break/ lunch.

I will add to what OP said, though, and say that companies will pay for certain types of commutes.

For example, when I used to work at a certain grocery store, some of us were asked one night (I worked the night shift) to go help one of our other stores nearby that had recently been expanded and hadn't yet hired the staff necessary to keep up. We were paid to cover the gas used to get from point A to point B and back to point A (because we needed to clock out at point A).

I've also heard that some construction companies will also pay for commutes to different worksites from the office.

Some companies may also either let you use a company credit card or let you get paid back for expenses incurred on a business trip. (Of course, in both cases, the company would want proof of each transaction.)

Additionally, depending on the circumstances and where you live, you may be able to claim the amount you paid for gas commuting to work on your annual taxes. (Or so I've heard. Take this one with a grain of salt. I've not been attentive enough to the amount of gas I'm using commuting to work to be able to claim it. This is one I heard about from a friend.)

This isn't a joke I made up on my own, either. That's legitimately what Sony calls it.

PlayStation doesn't have an X button, it has a Cross button. /j

Just based on what I've seen from other AI implementations (including Windows Recall), it seems like he was at least right that it's a security nightmare.

I'm not saying he said that out of the goodness of his heart or whatever. He definitely only said it out of jealousy or some other self-serving reason.

My broken clock statement wasn't meant to be taken as a compliment. It's the opposite. He's been wrong so many times that I'd gotten used to just pointing and laughing at anything he says or does. And it's gotten to the point that I'm genuinely surprised he actually said something "right" for once, even if it was for his own selfish reasons.

In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.

He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
