These searches occurred even in states with laws restricting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, as reported by Reason.

Ring has also shared footage without user consent under claimed “emergency” circumstances.

My realtor gifted me a Ring camera after I bought my house. I did set it up once when I was out of town on a trip... inside, so I could see what the cats were up to (I did have a cat sitter coming by too).
 
Yeah this is bad, don't care what political side one is on anyone should be against this, as it WILL be used against everyone. I'm all for stopping crime, illegal immigrants etc, but not like this, as it's too open to abuse. My city has a registry where you can submit your cameras, I won't even do that. If I see some criminal activity happen I may report it and offer the footage, but I'm not going to give them carte blanche to ask me for footage or see footage at any time.

"How it's used" is always the core issue:

1. Wearing masks

2. Entering homes warrant-free

3. Local police share Flock data with ICE

So now we have masked men, who don't need warrants, looking at home security cameras.

They've added an entry for the right-click context menu for "Ask Copilot" on some file types too, haven't yet looked into how to disable that, but I expect I will eventually.

Waiting for you to say that this is somehow the fault of the left!

I had Win11 File Explorer on a customer's computer inform me that the file search I performed was powered by AI so the results may be incorrect.

Yeah. It's getting to "yeah, I'll just ask Bob at the pub" levels of bullshit.
I mean Bob at the pub is probably a bit xenophobic and vulnerable to brain dead populism so you'll probably get at least Grok level advice!

I always wondered how they managed to fuck up what had previously worked perfectly well, something that should be fairly straight-forward at this point in computing like File Explorer, now when I click on a directory rather than immediately being presented with the contents of said directory, it will sometimes pause with the message "Working on it". When did a simple directory listing get so complicated?

Precision and perfection? Is that what you want from a computer?! Fuck that shit. I like having a random dice machine. Click on a spreadsheet, and Bob Dylan starts playing. Keeps you on your toes.

Randomness was always a problem to program, maybe a hallucinating AI is the solution?

LOL, last night I was thinking about the coming AI enabled bidet, seriously. "Fed by eleven under-rim cameras, the bidet intelligently directs water straight to problem areas, saving water and providing results the user will appreciate." Followed six months later by, "The internet is down and my toilet won't flush!" Followed six months later by, "User finds Temu sex doll featuring his own butthole."
