Eine Milliarde für Microsoft? Das bayr. Finanzministerium will das überweisen, als Ergebnis seiner "Zukunftskommission 5.0". Gemeinsam mit elf bayerischen Unternehmen und Verbänden haben wir einen offenen Brief verfasst, der die Staatsregierung auffordert, mehr Souveränität bei der IT-Planung walten zu lassen.

Australian regulatory authority, ACCC is suing Microsoft for misleading pricing:

"The ACCC has alleged that since October 31, 2024, Microsoft told subscribers of Microsoft 365 Personal and Family plans with auto-renewal enabled that to maintain their subscription they must accept the integration of Copilot and pay higher prices for their plan, or, alternatively, cancel their subscription."

"The regulator said Microsoft misled customers by not disclosing that subscribers could retain their current plans without Copilot at their existing lower prices."

Microsoft has postponed Windows Recall, the company’s flagship AI feature that tracks everything you do on your computer and makes the content easily searchable. Maybe too easily. Critics slammed Recall as creepy and a privacy nightmare. The postponement also gave Apple execs an opening for a jab at their competitor. Read more from Windows Central. https://flip.it/DPyYQU

I made a script to put GIFs & transparent images as your Windows profile picture!

It always annoyed me, how on Windows, if your profile picture is partially transparent, #Windows will convert it to a .jpg file with a black background.

Well, it turns out if you edit the right registry keys (which are super protected even under admin rights, I wonder why!), you can set your account picture with transparency, and even use a #gif which moves and everything!

I made a neat Powershell script that does all of it for you, if you'd like to do it as well!

You will not believe the trick-or-treat trick Microsoft just pulled!

#Microsoft is clearly becoming desperate due to low adoption rates of #Copilot.

Apparently, Microsoft is now pushing Copilot to all #Microsoft365 personal subscribers and calling it a "subscription price increase". Only when you decide to cancel your subscription are you presented with the option to switch to "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" without Copilot (and nearly the old price). The classic plan is not presented as an option unless you try to cancel your subscription.

This is a classic scammy trick: Modify the existing plan and add the feature no one wants and hide the old plan from view. Presto, now you have an insane adoption rate you can present to investors as a great success.

I personally don't use Microsoft subscription services, so I don't know if they tried this bullshit in the EU, but if they did, they're asking for trouble. They got sued in Australia over this already: https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/microsoft-in-court-for-allegedly-misleading-millions-of-australians-over-microsoft-365-subscriptions "Microsoft in court for allegedly misleading millions of Australians over Microsoft 365 subscriptions"

EDIT: It seems that at least in some areas/situations the "classic" non-AI version is actually even more expensive. This isn't exactly making the situation any better of course.

visto que é uma empresa que já teve "don't be evil" como lema.

hoje em especial to incomodado com respostas de IA acima dos resultados de pesquisa, tradução automática forçada de páginas, tradução de áudio forçada de vídeos no YouTube.

na real eles só não fazem um absurdo estilo #recall da #microsoft porque não tem um OS de desktop tão popular quanto o windows.

parece que essas empresas entraram, coletivamente, em uma fase "que se foda o cliente, nos importamos ainda menos do que antes".

🇮🇷 #Iran Just Named 💩 #Google, 💩 #Microsoft and 💩 #Nvidia, 💩 #Palantir, 💩 #Amazon and 💩 #Oracle as Its #NEXT #TARGETS.

.. Basically a Shitfest!

🎯 🚀 🎯 🚀🎯 🚀

🇮🇷 #Iran has reportedly expanded the scope of the ongoing #Middle_East conflict by naming major US technology companies as potential targets. According to reports citing Iran’s IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency, offices and infrastructure connected to companies such as Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM, Oracle, and Palantir have been described as “new targets” as the conflict moves toward what analysts call infrastructure warfare.

These companies operate critical cloud computing infrastructure, data centers, and regional headquarters across Israel and several Gulf countries. Iranian officials claim that technologies developed by these firms have been used in military and intelligence operations supporting Israel and the United States.

The warning comes as tensions escalate across the Middle East, with infrastructure, financial institutions, and economic centers increasingly being mentioned as potential targets. Analysts say that if technology infrastructure becomes part of the conflict, the economic and geopolitical consequences could extend far beyond the battlefield.

In this video we explain:

• Why Iran named major tech companies as targets
• How cloud infrastructure and data centers became part of modern warfare
• The role of companies like Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia in global military technology
• What this could mean for the future of cyber and infrastructure conflict.

Microsoft: "Souveräne Datenverarbeitung" für M365-Copilot kommt 2026

Bis Ende nächsten Jahres sollen auch Cloud-Kunden in Deutschland die Option bekommen, dass ihre Copilot-Daten die Landesgrenze nicht überschreiten.

Microsoft renamed the whole Office suite to Copilot. 🤣

Please bear in mind that calling "AI" output "slop" makes Satya Nadella sad. Under no circumstances should you call their office suite "Microslop Slopilot". That would just be mean and you're better than that.

*) Copilot might not be your favorite app.

The little devil on my shoulder wants me to tell you about https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/copilot-flex-routing

Apparently #Microsoft is not able to get enough compute within EU datacenters to handle #Copilot requests.

Instead, it will do "Flex-Routing", which processes some requests in non-EU datacenters. This is Opt-Out. The only notification was an e-mail to Admins. If they missed that, companies might be leaking PII outside of the EU from tomorrow on.

Get your GDPR Nightmare letters ready!

IT-ler warnen seit Jahren: Microsoft zieht alles in Richtung totaler Abhängigkeit. Cloud-Zwang, Abo-Fallen, geschlossene Systeme – und am Ende liegen sämtliche Daten bei einem Konzern, der ständig Standards bricht und seine Kunden vor sich hertreibt. Behörden und Unternehmen? Statt konsequent Alternativen aufzubauen, biegen sie ihre Abläufe so zurecht, dass Microsofts nächste Zumutung gerade noch erträglich wirkt. In ein paar Jahren gibt es dann nur noch Cloud-only. Und dann? Dann wird wieder laut geklagt – aber echte Alternativen hat man trotzdem nicht aufgebaut. Das ist das eigentliche Versagen.

I think there is something fundamentally wrong with Big Tech playing the nationalism card and I think regulation is more important than ever before.

Most Americans also want Big Tech to be regulated.
