Eh. Depends on how it's deployed and used, doesn't it? To me, it's like calling a bouncer at a club a private investigator.

This article lost me when it counted identity verification software as "surveillance tech".

Congrats on the launch! I personally am not sure I see the value in paying for a course, when (I assume) I can do this on my own by feeding a video link or file to an LLM and asking it to generate a course. I'm sure your courses are probably better, though, and there are probably a lot of people who don't want to go through those extra steps. Good luck!

It's people gathering for coffee. We can't talk about the apocalypse at the dinner table every night.

The difference is that the intent of malware is to disrupt.
Is gasoline useless just because it explodes when you light a match next to it?
edit to add: OSS is not inherently more secure than closed source.

I assume from your rhetorical question that you don't. I personally don't know enough about it to say whether it does or not - but, I will make what I believe is a reasonable assumption and say that all else being equal, yes, a fleet of machines with a EDR sensor installed is more "protected" than a fleet without.
If you have a point to make, why not just say what you are trying to say; it will be more effective discourse. I am genuinely curious.

Can you be more specific? Genuinely curious what you mean here.

I understand your preference. I have two questions:
1) Do you think that an organization should have no protections in place? 2) Why not just work from the machine they provided you, and do everything else on a personal machine?

If Satya got hit by a bus this weekend that "pointless" board would become very important very quickly.
