Given the sheer number of laptops that are lost every year, there would be a lot less data theft if those laptops had been encrypted.

I wrote that I understand the need for encryption for mobile devices or laptops. I don't understand why desktop PCs need it.

This is my primary reason for leaving the pc support business after 30 years for good come July 1 2024 when the lease runs out at our shop. The remapping of user folders to onedrive when the users didn't know this had happened and don't know where there stuff ever was except "on my computer", now they come in with a os that is tangled up from a corruptdate and we can't get at their files because the sucker is bitlocked and I have to explain this to a user who thinks I'm crazy because they have never heard of such a thing be it onedrive or bitlocker.
Thanks mickysoft, you stupid (or just mean) f$%cs.

Does anyone really know what they're up to or what they're end game may be? This seems like a lot of effort and pupose put into both one drive and bitlocking.

In 2001, Triwest Insurance offices in Phoenix, AZ were broken into. The physical servers were stolen. Six months later I detected a new account on my credit report and reported it as fraudulent. Had those servers been encrypted I suspect I wouldn't have been a potential victim of identity theft. Therefore, any system you can put in the back of a pickup truck should be encrypted.

For the average private John Doe's PC I agree with Daniel that is an overkill and will harm more than not. Read Ron's messages, as the Techie in the family, I can totally see coming, what he is explaining.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Researchers at MIT CSAIL and Project CETI believe that they have unlocked a kind of sperm whale “alphabet” with the aid of machine learning technologies. ArOOOO before mmsssshhhh, except after gk-gk-gk

I can see it years from now when the headlines reads. "We've done it, we've decoded a sperm whale conversation!"
father sperm whale: "Brrrrrr pop tick tick blop"
son sperm whale: "ArOOOO -gk-gk"
father: "Whoop Whoop Whoop1"
Translation:
Father: "My fin hurts son, could you pull on it for me?"
Son: "Oh dad, that's nasty!"
Father "Har, har, har!"

I used resume spammers to apply for 120 jobs. Chaos ensued. What happens if an irresistible force of AI-generated resume spam collides with an immovable object of AI-managed resume filters?
/shrug. Too long, too lame of an attempt at rephrasing a classic question. Try harder next time! C- (yes, I grade all my blurbs)

OpenAI is getting ready to give Google and Microsoft a run for their money in search. Why search, when you can have the AI hallucinate the results?
|
|
|
|

I hate to say it, but sometimes their hallucinations are pretty damn good. Even when they were wrong, it still took less time to confirm wrongness and continue on to the right answer than it would have been to wade through Google's ever-increasing garbage results.

AI/LLM could be an answer to how sift through gigantic mounds of garbage data.
It may be a bit like when you solve a problem with regex though.

Can someone stick this on James Hoffman's YT please? Maybe he can get a test model to do a review. That would be awesome.

By his output, would not be surprised to see it soon.
