<p>Technically when you turn the TV on for the first time, ACR is not enabled. Ergo, not enabled by default.<p>Sure, to use the TV you need to go past the EULA screen. And the button right in front of you, pre-selected - is agree to all terms. And after pressing OK, you now have ACR turned on. But <i>you</i> did that, it wasn't on by default.<p>Okay I can take my soul sucking corporate hat off now.</p>

<p>The entire post is clearly LLM generated. I get that a person clearly put together some thoughts, but prompting an LLM to 'turn this into a blog post' is the kind of low effort content I thought was not appropriate for HN.<p>At least bringing up the underlying method (restrict to contributors) has spawned the discussion about how that's probably a bad idea on the security side.</p>

<p>It's definitely a fake bait post, what they're describing isn't even possible in the way they said. The post and the OP comment replies even look LLM generated as well. They somehow have a good reason why every legitimate suggestion can't work.<p>The account was commenting on the satirical sysadmin subreddit yesterday, so they know what makes a engaging story.</p>

The metadata of any Meet call could be handed to USA authorities, for example the participants date & time, source IP and useragent of each member. The call itself should be E2E encrypted.</p>

<p>I don't any signs that it's a bot, or that the comment was LLM generated. It's pretty safe to assume they made an alt to make that comment, as they didn't want to take a negative opinion towards a conservative author on their main. i.e. trying to avoid controversy.</p>

<p>I've had Windows Server VMs soft crash and hard crash on Azure. Some soft-lock and a restart via Azure gets them back. Some times the only fix has been to power off / deprovision - then power on again (i.e. a restart didn't fix it). It's not common, but I've encountered it multiple times. These are with operating systems that were created in Azure from their images.</p>

<p>OpenAI were already logging all the chats, it's just that if the end-user decided to delete their chat history - they would respect that at the time and also delete it server side (apparently). The court order mandated them keep the chat content even if the end-user wanted it deleted.<p>They were required to change the way their systems worked, to no longer respect a user's chat deletion request. That means a non-chat-logging company can of course be forced to change the way their system works, to instead log chats.<p>In the same way Apple can not only be forced to hand over back-doored access to UK users iCloud data (when Apple also hold a copy of the keys), they can also be forced to change the way their OS works to prevent the scenario where Apple don't hold the keys (preventing Advanced Data Protection from being enabled). The USA could force the same thing via the CLOUD Act.</p>

<p>None that operate legally will be able to avoid logging chats when ordered to do so.<p>For example OpenAI were required by a US federal judge to log all chats, and make them discoverable to lawyers representing The New York Times last year. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-new-york-times-copyright-infringement-lawsuit-chatgpt-logs-private-2025-11" rel="nofollow">https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-new-york-times-copyri...</a><p>Additionally the company can be gagged by a court from disclosing that the chats are being logged, at least in the USA and the UK.</p>

<p>They mean to send an email in advance, with a message ID that would later be used in the target email. First email gets ignored, moved to spam, or not read yet. Then the target email gets sent with the predicable message ID, and gets bounced.<p>Comments on issues use the format
<[OrgName]/[RepoName]/issues/[IssueNumber]/[CommentID]@github.com><p>A mitigation to this would be to take the combination of message ID and the sending domain and use that as the unique value, because message ID is not guaranteed to actually contain a domain label that's owned by the sender.<p>For example SendGrid's message IDs are <[RandomValue]@geopod-ismtpd-[Integer]>.</p>
