In top down orgs, no product manager care would blink a the at wasting time on security.
This is why we need to remove incompetent product managers that have no clue and somehow are in the position to control what developers can work on.

This is a clone of Amezmo, which started in 2019.
I see they ripped off every feature that we innovated.
It’s actually quite flattering.

I bought AirPods Pro this year and it has been disappointing compared to the first gen non pro I had previously.
Somehow they fall out of my if i adjust my head down.

I would imagine this is due to a Product manager vetoing time spent on Security Considerations.

I hope FTC gets DirectTV next -- which also fails to adequately disclose to

Likely, this will be illegal, especially if users aren't aware their screens are being recorded. Furthermore that screenshots of activity are stored in the Azure cloud.
Developers building it are probably thinking about Security Considerations, but are getting pushback from product managers. So data leak is imminent.

Sounds spammy to me. You don't seem to have a product, but you're collecting emails, presumably without an actual product, but a preview of a product that doesn't exist yet? Do you have a tangible product today?

Likely because implementing it securely and correctly costs development time.

Instead of an arbitrary octet-stream link, I would highly recommend hosting your bad cpio archive on GitHub. A `hexdump -C` would be preferred.
