Basically the only reason to collect that level of ID if you’re not a bank is so you can fulfil anti-money laundering requirements necessary to allow trading of some commodity, or currency.

I wanted to play it but even at $5 I don’t think I can justify giving them money after what they did to Mick Gordon.

Perhaps 2nd hand.

My stuff has the new font already. Excel last week and today I noticed it in Outlook.

I quite like it tbh. The condensed version in Excel is pretty good. Beats calibre for sure.

40 million. The population is 70 million, so that’s most, it not all eligible voters. Wow.

Ok so it’s my fault that now someone at Intel knows how much porn I look at because I clicked “next” on a beta driver?

They collect:

The categories of websites you visit, but not the URL itself

The information collected includes categorized web browsing history that shows how long and how often you visited specific categories of sites (i.e. social media, personal finance, or news). All site visits are classified into one of 30 categories. We do not collect URLs, web pages titles, or user-specific content without explicit permission from you.

Software usage: for example, frequency and duration of application usage such as Intel® Driver & Support Assistant, but not the application content itself such as specific actions or keyboard input.

Feature usage: for example, how much RAM you usually use or your laptop’s average battery life.

Other devices in your computing environment

Includes universal plug and play devices and devices that broadcast information to your computer on a local area network: for example, smart TV model and vendor information, and video streaming devices.

(the emphasis is mine, as is the minor reordering to not hide the browsing behaviour stuff at the bottom)

Yeah that’ll be a no from me there, bud.

I know. I don’t disagree. I’m just tired of everything being desperate to collect invasive amounts of information about me.

Because they invariably record way more data than they need to.

How bout just don’t install privacy-invading data collection services alongside a fucking device driver at all.

What is a workspace browser

We heard you like tabs so we put tabs in your tabs.

That’s all they are, really. Sets of tabs you can switch between. It’s not a bad concept if you’re using web based stuff exclusively, but I didn’t find it as useful as multiple desktops.
