According to Microsoft’s documentation, a user can only change the setting to enable or disable the new People section three times a year.
If I hadn’t abandoned OneDrive already, this would make me do so.
Yeah but they are taking your data from the laptop your mum bought yesterday and put all the family vacation pictures on. Mum didn’t know she had to kill off OneDrive or Microsoft will hoover up and monetise your memories.
Fortunately not… I’m generally the one responsible for IT maintenance with my parents’ as they get older. Disabled OneDrive long ago since they don’t use it.
By mates, do they mean buddies or procreative partners?
Australians
Both are good
I think that’s why it’s recommended to encrypt files containing personal information with a separate tool before uploading them to any cloud service. It prevents big data from automatically processing your Information and protects you from leaks.
In Europe this probably goes against GDPR, right? If I don’t agree, they should not collect my face
Give MS a bunch of fake mates. Fill their models with NOISE.
I’m done defending idiots. Use sh%t, get hit.
Jokes on them, I have no friends.
However, it is that seemingly arbitrary three-times-a-year limit applied to the People section that is most concerning. Why not four? Why not as many times as a user wants?
If it works the same way Immich does, probably because they have to retrain the models every time you turn it back on and want to aboid poeple turning it on when they need it, then off again, then back on, … Although a less shitty mehod would be to limit the amount of times you can turn it on but I guess that iterferes with their goal of harvesting your data.
IMO current best case scenario
So, will this look through porn videos as well? Asking for a friend.
Now you can easily find all the porn videos you have collected of any of your friends!
Get a second drive, SD card, USB, ssd whatever and have it just for your back ups. If your back up drive fails, well, fuck
Not sure why people are talking about the “you can only enable or disable it 3 times a year” as if it’s an issue? This is generally a thing you’d either turn off or on once, depending on what it defaults to. Why would anyone need to turn it on or off 3 times in a year?
Why would anyone need to turn it on or off 3 times in a year?
Why would they need to limit you?
Irrelevant. Why would anyone need to turn it on or off 3 times in a year?
Why do you need to know how other people use software to understand why arbitrary limits are arbitrary?
I would assume that the “arbitrary limit” is actually based on something like the amount of processing power that it could take to go through every single photo/file that is uploaded.
Anyway, even if it is arbitrary - what reason would anyone have to turn it on and off more than 3x a year? It’s something you’d decide you either want or you don’t.
what reason would anyone have
That’s none of your business. You don’t need to know why anyone wants to do a thing to advocate for their freedom to do it.
Just because you lack the imagination to think of reasons someone might have, doesn’t mean that they don’t have a perfectly good reason. But, they shouldn’t need to justify themselves to you.
The don’t have to justify themselves to me, they have to figure out how to handle only changing it 3 times a year.
I’m trying to understand any reasons why someone would turn it on/off more than once. Not asking people to “justify”, just curious because it’s not something that makes sense to turn on and off multiple times.
You don’t need to know why anyone wants to do a thing to advocate for their freedom to do it.
You don’t know why they might want to do this thing. I also don’t know why they would want to do this thing. The difference is, I 👏 Don’t 👏 Care 👏. My opinion of their reason to want to do it is irrelevant to my advocating their freedom to do it.
And that’s all I’m going to say on the subject. If you can’t understand that basic fact, then I don’t know what else I can say.
For someone called freedom advocate you sure don’t sound like one.
What part of letting me name people in my uploaded photos so I can easily find all of the photos of them is somehow anti-freedom?
