The problem with the WARNING is that because of PBMs these #counterfeit products get distributed by pharmacies.

I don’t remember if it’s retail pharmacies or facility pharmacies where this kept happening, but there was a PBS Frontline documentary about how PBMs cause counterfeit medication to appear in legitimate supply chains.

So how would any of us know??

U.S. Food and Drug AdministrationFDA MedWatch - FDA Warns Consumers Not to Use Counterfeit Ozempic (semaglutide) Found in U.S. Drug Supply Chain

This shithole country let people buy and feed their baby pets tainted products for almost two weeks. This is disgraceful.

“Due to a customer complaint of animal illness, samples of the products were collected on 3/20/25 by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. On 04/01/25, the firm was notified by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture that the products tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria.”

If you are an office worker of any kind please understand Copilot Recall for what it is: Microsoft wants a training dataset of _what your job looks like_ in order to _replace you_. The nepo baby your oligarch puts in charge will happily pay half your salary to Microsoft to get even most of your job done without you.

Wealth wants access to skill without giving the skilled access to wealth.

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!

That groan you hear is users’ reaction to #Recall going back into #Windows

#Security and #privacy advocates are girding themselves for another uphill battle against Recall, the #AI tool rolling out in #Windows11 that will #screenshot , index, and store everything a user does every three seconds.

I've just been through the gauntlet of setting up credentials for Social Security. At one point the recovery passwords are displayed. While it may be convenient to have these passwords automatically captured, the #security and #privacy implications are unfathomable. Right now, #Recall is opt-out and stored locally. But history tell us that it won't stay that way. Soon enough, it will be mandatory and stored in the cloud. There is no way that #Microsoft will pass up this treasure trove.

This will affect you even if you haven't enabled the so called "feature" or not even using Windows. This can ultimately spy on your conversations with somebody who uses Recall.

It’s sad that for even my more technically inclined friends that switching to Linux is just a complete dead end non-starter for them.

They don’t even have any Windows only dependencies and for gaming…we mostly just play games together and I’ve been gaming on Linux with them for years.

I’ve brought it up a couple times as a couple of them are upgrading their PCs and almost got laughed at.
