Privacy activist Max Schrems on Microsoft's EU data move: It won't keep the NSA away

Software giant vows data processing of EU cloud services to stay in EU, which means that currently...

Microsoft has announced plans to ensure data processing of EU cloud services within the borders of the political bloc in a move that expert observers claim reveals problems with the firm's existing setup.

Those problems extend to UK public sector organisations seeking to stick within government guidance as well as a longstanding issue where personal data held in the EU can potentially be accessed via US security laws.

In a blog, Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president and chief legal officer, said the software and cloud services gaint would, by the end 2022, enable EU customers of Azure, Microsoft 365, and Dynamics 365 to have all their data processed physically within the EU.

Their "Wellcome Leap" Toward Transhumanism & Why You're Now A "Terrorist"
Whitney Webb Interview

On the very alarming development in the US government war on its own people, and another regarding the aggressive government push toward a technocratic transhumanism future for the human race. We have discussed the agenda to alter human evolution using nanotechnology more than once on this show. An open agenda was put forth by the White House in 2002 with the stated direction of “converging” human biology with nanotechnology in 20 years. Today we see this rapidly progressing under a guise of fighting COVID-19 – almost exactly 20 years later…

Rufus: Microsoft is blocking Windows ISO downloads

It appears that Microsoft has started to block Windows ISO downloads that originate from Rufus. Rufus is a popular open source tool to create bootable media.

Options to download Windows ISO images was introduced in Rufus 3.5, which the developer released in 2019. The ability to download Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISO images was a welcome feature addition, as it made the process of creating Windows boot media more comfortable.

The developer has added more features to Rufus in the meantime that improved the program for some Windows administrators and users significantly. Options to bypass Windows 11 system requirements during Inplace upgrades and to create local accounts instead of Microsoft accounts, and to deny privacy questions outright, were added in 2022.

Downloads are powered by the Fido script in Rufus, and this worked fine ever since the functionality was introduced. The script pulled download information from Microsoft servers and downloads were provided by Microsoft.

Now, Rufus users are receiving error messages on attempts to download Windows 8, 10 or 11 using Rufus.

#Microsoft gets an epileptic attack

#Microsoft is phoning home the content of your #PowerPoint slides.

Were you aware of it: Microsoft is phoning home the content of your PowerPoint slides.
Don't just take my word for it: open up the network monitor of your choice. Close all of your other applications or perform a fresh restart.
Fire up PowerPoint. Turn off all the cloud options. Make a new slide with a title of your choice. Choose "Designer." Look at your network traffic as you do.
It makes sense: the tool is reading your text and suggesting designs/delivering stock photography. But this means that any data that you might want to keep private is being sent to Microsoft.
Did we consent to this?

Whitney Webb notes that Jeffrey Epstein claimed to be a "money manager" who vetted legal advisors for Bill Gates, and highlights Epstein's close ties to Gates through his employees Nathan Myhrvold, Linda Stone, Melanie Walker, and Boris Nikolić:

"The mainstream media narrative refuses to say that the Epstein-Gates relationship proceeds 2011, which I think is all about protecting greater scrutiny of the #Epstein #Microsoft ties and also the Maxwell family ties to Microsoft that took place during the 90s. But the Bill and Melinda #Gates Foundation has a lot to answer for when it comes to Epstein.

Before 2011, one of the top science advisors for that foundation was a woman named Melanie Walker, whom Epstein recruited into his network in 1992. She was his science advisor after he paid for some of her graduate studies. That was in the late 90s, and shortly after, she had a brief stint with the World Health Organization and then was hired to be a science advisor to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, where she introduced Epstein to another science advisor of the Gates Foundation Boris Nikolic.

And if you remember, Boris Nikolic, when Epstein died, was actually the backup executor to his will. So why would Epstein have put Nikolic in that position? And why would Gates hire someone like Melanie Walker, whose resume at that point was being science advisor to Jeffrey Epstein? And, of course, there was a lot of overlap between the science Jeffrey Epstein was into and the science that Bill Gates is into."
