M$ getting too personal

Hi,
I got an email from OneDrive -- a little surprising.

It had several pics from a gathering we had last Turkey Day. They assured me that no human had seen these pics. No, but your bleeping AI or whatever rummaged through them and decided what they were.

I guess there's a price for free storage. I did unsubscribe ( never had subscribed). There was no option for "keep your f%^&* nose out of my stuff" Still looking for that.

Bad enough that my ATM wishes me Happy Birthday.

I'm thinking copying those Square QR Codes can be very harmful endeavors.
Containing passwords, personal info, whatever. Be careful. Trust none ?

All these places, HOA's etc. want you to join some online dot com.

Of course, your information will be sold. Give your phone number to a Cashier, any retail establishment and immediately you get Spam for weeks.
Most all lending and Card companies tell you that they intend to share your info. Forums are full of advertisements & make money off them. How
can business afford all these $$$$$$$$$$$$ billions of adds? Is Inflationism a no brainer cost wise.

Isn't that nice, OneDrive sent you an email just to let you know!

Some years ago I started revealing inaccurate info, just to find out where it ends up. The results have been truly astounding. And whatever is getting out there isn't even always my own stuff.

You won't find any DR. that doesn't use a Windows computer in his work. Last time I had x rays done, you guessed it, printed it out in high resolution from their Windows PC. lol.

my doctor would be perfect for you. not one computer in the office. everything is paper charts and appointment books.
upstairs his wife and daughter do all accounting on paper too.
but i really doubt you would want to travel to New Jersey every time you want to see the doctor.
