I administer a tenant today that has given me plenty of understanding.

You’d never be able to tell. If this is true your “understanding” doesn’t show but I’ve seen some very dysfunctional organizations so I wouldn’t be surprised.

I am aware of telemetry, yes.

Even if we ignore your continued conflation of Word and Microsoft 365, I suspect you have nothing to support your assertion that Word transmits the content of your document files to Microsoft.

Realistically this whole exchange is moot. A medical providers use of patient data management software in no way constitutes a “release” of data to that software provider as the person I originally replied to seemed to think.

Perhaps you’ll have an opportunity to administer a tenant someday and that’ll give you a better understanding.

So I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.

Then you’re just being ignorant.

O365, which is actually Microsoft 365 now, is a suite of productivity software as well as collaboration and cloud-based services.

Word is a word processing program. They are not the same and use of Word does not equate to O365.

You should know this. Just like you should know that a business using a piece of software, such as a medical facility using Epic’s patient data management tools, does not equate to patient data being “released” to Epic.

Since you seem to be struggling with the concept perhaps a different example would be easier for you?

Just because you get an MRI doesn’t mean the data collected for the MRI is “released” to GE.

Yep. Specifically it’s because the flour is not generally sanitized/processed in any way that removes bacteria from the grain or the finished product.

Flour is traditionally only used as an ingredient and will through the cooking process experience heat high enough to kill any bacteria.

If you want to make safe cookie dough to eat raw at home just spread the flour on a sheet tray and toast it in the oven at ~200 degrees for something like 10 minutes. There’s specific directions online.

I want to show some love to B&H Photo. They’re one of my go to’s specifically for tech stuff.

I feel like people give up on in store if they can’t find it at a big box store and go to the online equivalent of a big box store (Amazon).

Anybody who puts in a little effort should be able to find a specialty store either in person or online.

I wasn’t having a discussion with them or you however when you present incorrect information or are intentionally obtuse I will call it out.

If you want to engage me on the original topic I can happily explain both how the concept that a medical provider is “releasing” data to a software vendor is wrong and how equating O365 and Word is wrong.

I imagine you’re too busy finding ways to be offended on someone else’s behalf and making light of recent terrorist acts though.

It does, your willful misinterpretation doesn’t change that.

I looked through your post history, you seem to have at least enough technical aptitude to understand that.

released to companies like mychart

What does this mean? MyChart is a software solution used by many medical providers. They don’t “release” medical information to them.

This would be like thinking someone using Office on their computer is “releasing” documents they create to Microsoft.

I don’t have an answer to your specific question but I believe that, years ago, most of the cars built in the US were from foreign automakers.

This was because with import taxes and tariffs it was cheaper to build the cars here to avoid those than to build elsewhere and import the vehicles.

My 40th is in 2 days and my wife has been bugging me for gift ideas and activity ideas. All I wanted (and what’s happening) is a dinner at a restaurant with my wife. She surprised me with a small surprise birthday dinner there early on in our dating and it’s my favorite thing to do for my birthday.

When I was a kid we’d play the newly released video game version of The Oregon Trail on our Apple II.

If they would have spent the same amount of money

They did spend the same because they were getting the deal phones from their provider. You’ll have to bear in mind this switch was about 10 years ago.

I think what you’re saying contributes to why this Android/Apple discussion is still going on.

The level of Android device varies based on cost affecting the experience. If you buy an Apple you don’t have that issue because all their devices run relatively the same and are expensive. They don’t have a “cheap” option.
