    It looks so surprised, like it's been waiting for someone to acknowledge it and can't believe it's finally happened.

    Congress in the US has banned Copilot for security reasons. I would take it further. Really the way Windows is coded now, it is a significant security problem. The idea that it is unclear whether you are using local data or online data is unacceptable.

    This includes:

    • Login. Login should be local. You are not logging into a service. You are logging into a computer. The service should be separate from the computer.

    • Copilot. Clearly another case where you may not realize that you are sharing data by asking a question.

    • OneDrive. Another case where local data is backed up in the cloud, without active actions by you as a user. Backup is great, but you should have to explicitly enable it and there should be a warning that your data may be scanned.

    • Windows. In reality even Windows is now a problem given the login issue and any tracking that is happening.

    Online cloud services can be great, but one should never be forced into online services or lured into them. Any computer should work fine without having to use OS online services, except basic services, like updates and the like.

    Currently if the computer has wifi and it finds nearby networks, you have to open a command prompt and reconfigure the out-of-box-experience to not require network

    Now I know this will cause some of you to say I'm one of the elite, and... I can handle that.

    Ready?

    I just got a residual for... 15 cents... for an episode of The Incredible Hulk.

    AND... it was originally 25 cents, but they took out 10 cents for taxes.

    No I'm not kidding.

    Are you jealous of my wealth? Well ARE YOU?

    I'm taking up @Just_Tired's suggestion & use it to buy the gaudy hotel in Florida to become Trump's landlord.

    At $46.99 for a 750ml bottle of Glenfiddich Scotch aged 12 years, and 20 drops per ml, you could get almost half a drop.

    So let me get this straight. Gov. Abbott of TX says he’ll defy federal law because an “invasion” has happened at the border, but the GOP refuses to fix the border because that would hand Biden a political win? Have I got that right?

    baronvonj ,

    @rbreich Almost. Gov. Abbott has also aided and abetted the invasion by transporting the invaders across state lines to other major cities.
