      I wonder which agencies and governments have access? I’m guessing bare minimum NSA, CIA, and higher level clearances at the FBI and DHS. Maybe even some of the 5 eyes countries. Definitely Mossad, that’s a given.

        We’ll never know how many acronym’d dangers to freedom had access. What we can know is that now, it’s a free-for-all.

      Bitlocker was implemented well before LLMs were even a concept, this isn’t a vibe coding thing.

        Literally any programming issue is now vibe coding, didn’t you hear? People wrote perfect code always before LLMs took over all coding and started writing slop.

          This must be true, I never even heard of software vulnerabilities before AI and Windows was beloved by all without any problems whatsoever.

              Of course, we used to have it rough; we used to have to call the Internet through a 56k modem, download 3MB .mp3s from WinMX, burn them to CDs and play them on a boombox just to listen to music.

              You try to tell the youth of today that and they’ll never believe you.

                  I’ve got a decade on you then 👴

                  There were so many back them, Limewire, Napster, eDonkey, gnutella and the old old school IRC+FTP servers.

                  Then bittorrent came out and blew everything away, Suprnova was the OG Pirate Bay.

      If it has a back door the size of a barn door, it’s not encryption, it’s a hoax.

    I just want Clippy back. He pissed me off so much in Office Docs, I didn’t appreciate what I had at the time. RIP you little bastard, you can show me how to use periods anytime you want 😭
