I think #Microsoft have given themselves enough rope with #Recall. For Reasons, running anything like it would be flat out, no discussion, illegal in my org. As #CISO I’m sensitive to such things… :)

Sure we run a MSFT shop, and sure they theoretically have access to all that data anyhow - can’t [viably yet] process ciphertext, they see all the cleartext at some point.

The rope part is that argument. If MSFT argues that they see all data *anyway* so why not Recall, they burst our collective hallucination that various #GDPR agreements are actually worth a damn [Narrator: They’re not].

And then, my #infosec friends, I get to eject Microsoft - and coincidentally all other #US #cloud services as well as collateral damage - and finally build a full scale Linux/FOSS environment.

It’ll be more fun than I can #recall!

As of now every CD I own has now been ripped.
Stored in a cloud and local HD.
3 large boxes worth.

Next task is go through a stack of CDrs on my computer desk.

#Palantir Is Helping #DOGE With a Massive #IRS Data Project

"Palantir, the software company cofounded by Peter #Thiel, is part of an effort by Elon #Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (#DOGE) to build a new “mega API” for accessing Internal Revenue Service records, IRS sources tell WIRED.

Palantir representatives have been onsite...to exchange data and could be used to move IRS data to the #cloud and access it there..."

"We want to use an hyperscaler #cloud because it is cheaper to delegate operating a scalable and redundant database to an hyperscaler" is something that can be debated from business and technical points of view.

"We want to use an hyperscaler cloud because our developers do not want to operate a scalable and redundant database" just means that you need to hire competent developers and/or system administrators.
