We should have the right to not have our data harvested by default.

I would maybe not go quite that far but at the very least this should apply to commercial interests and living people.

I think there are some causes where it should be acceptable to have your data usable by default, e.g. statistical analysis of health threats (think those studies about the danger of living near a coal power plant or similar things).

Especially in the companies with the enterprise warning label non-technical idiots are in charge of setting technical policies because it is all about office politics there.

Yeah, this is a "feature" for the companies with the "enterprise" warning label who would rather waste a lot of effort on ineffective compliance checklists than actually make sure their software is up-to-date with security fixes.

Doesn't matter for the "problem" they are trying to solve. Nobody interested in the "sensitive" information of another company will complain about picture quality if the information is readable enough.

Considering most of the organizations using Teams bear the "enterprise" warning label I wouldn't count on whoever you are talking to having the ability (as in permissions, not stupidity) to turn it off.

I have looked but I just couldn't find an open source alternative that supported Teams core features like showing an error every time I login.

Actually the whole point of birds not having their eyes on the body is that they can essentially stabilize their head with their neck so it is not affected by the flapping motion so much.

Presumably not gone, just from food quality to dirty.

In fact when you think about the way organizations like RIAA and MPAA like to calculate damages based on lost potential sales they pull out of thin air training an AI that might make up entire songs that compete with their existing set of songs should be even worse. (not that I want to encourage more of that kind of bullshit potential sales argument)

Naive of you to assume that rehabilitation is the goal in the countries with the highest prison population per capita like the US.

Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.
