Microsoft leaves mitigation of this known and quite powerful phishing vector behind additional licensing requirements. You cannot reliably block Microsoft Entra device code flow without Entra ID Premium P1.

Password managers, FIDO keys will not help you as the authentication flow is happening in Microsoft servers.

In EU:

Violators of GDPR (personal data) may be fined up to €20 million, or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is greater.

Under NIS2 (cybersecurity), financial penalties may be up to either €10 million or 2% of the global yearly revenue, again, whichever is the greater amount.

Teams works similarly in browser tab and "natively". Slack was similar if I remember correctly.

You should check the memory use of that browser tab. You’re not saving much either way running in a browser or in Electron, which is effectively a browser.

I only ever use Discord in a browser window.

You should try MS Copilot which uses open source Python libraries to interact with Office file formats.

The libraries themselves are OK, but MS uses them stupidly. If you want to fill out some form in DOCX or XSLX format you will get broken formatting. And this is from Office company.

Obviously. Because they didn't train the model on proprietary MS code. Which is bad but also good in some way, as it might force MS to support better their formats in the open source world.

I recently experimented with trying to generate a passable slide deck from a script and outline I had written beforehand. The ChatGPT integration built into Powerpoint was abysmally bad. Like to the point it was embarrassing as a product.

Claude one-shot something with a Python script that was pretty okay.

You should not have to hack Explorer to make it usable.

Now you have "rounded edges" in Edge that add a content area limiting margins to all sides. Also, they took an open source browser and do not provide the source for Edge. So much for love of open source.

Should've used GPL, Google!

One shop network used blue paper here but changed to white some time ago.

Contrast was not great but I guess the price was the reason for the change.

I'm trying paid tier Gemini and it doesn't allow to keep have personal chat history when you disable training on your data, on reload of the page your chat is gone. Even free tier of ChatGPT allows disabling training on your data while allowing to keep such basic functionality.

Some technical advancements are not worth it if you do not respect your users.

Yeah I’m never using a Google product. The sole purpose of their company is to be evil. At least other companies are indifferent.

Google is evil in passive way, like sprawling bureaucracy making you life slowly worse and worse but also doing some stuff to at least some fraction of population. OpenAI and Sam are determined and energetic evil, laser focused on making whole human population jobless and homeless in shortest way possible and not producing anything else of value, no other products. I'd rather prefer the former evil out of the two.

I hate Google but I hate Anthropic way more.

This doesn't sound right. I just opened a shared link in a fresh incognito window and it works fine.

Try sharing from the Google AI Studio Playground.

E.g.: https://aistudio.google.com/app/prompts?state=%7B%22ids%22:%...

OK. I think you moved the goalposts a fair distance there.

> ssing is sharing a Gemini chat as a link anyone can view.

when logged in, up right, there are these three dots - for me it says: "share conversation" - isnt this what you are looking for?

How does their top tier subscription compare in usage limits to the $200/mo Claude usage limits?

Claude has easily the worst and most opaque usage limits in the industry.

Without unofficial bypasses of MS online account requirements you would not come to a point where activation is a concern. No internet access is not enough of a reason for MS let you use your device.
