It’s not a good service to use? Why?

Lol you sound like a tonne of fun. What issue do you have with people having photos of you on their services?

One issue is that they’re not blatantly violating the law though. There’s no law saying you can’t create art etc of copyrighted material. It’s legal basically unless you’re then selling it.

With training AI models, again there’s nothing illegal about that. Some companies and people want it to be illegal, but it currently isn’t and realistically never should be since laws exist around the use of copyrighted content (as mentioned above). Why should it matter if it’s a computer doing the “learning” compared to a person?

It’s what you do with the content that is controlled by law, not how you created it.

Microsoft spend a fortune on funding “renewable” energy to power their data centres, and also have their own private on-site “renewable” power generation at many of their data centres.

I song want my photos in the cloud period

So why are you uploading your photos to Onedrive? If you’re not then why are you complaining about this feature that only exists does people who do?

You seem to be arguing about something completely off topic. Doing the face recognition on your local machine only to have the photos and tagged faces uploaded to onedrive makes no sense because the point of it is to automatically identify all photos of the tagged people so you can then find them all with a simple search for their name, and make custom auto-updating albums of specific people.

What exactly is your point?

I don’t care either though, I’m just asking why to try to understand the argument people like you are making.

The feature is a yes/no option, and it has no downsides for the user. It costs you nothing, it doesn’t affect performance, it doesn’t need extra privacy permissions or anything. I’m just trying to understand why anyone works firstly turn it off if it defaults to on, and then secondly why they would then turn it back on, then back off, and so on. Maybe there’s something I am missing about it that I don’t know? Maybe there’s something buried in the fine print?

Some when did trying to get more of an understanding become so offensive to some people?

It’s like if my health insurance said “we’ve just added elective surgeries to your plan at no cost. You can opt out/in up to 3 times a year” - I genuinely can’t see a reason why anyone would opt out once, let alone 3+ times a year, and so far no one has even attempted to give a reason why anyone would.

Unlike you, clearly, I like to learn things, especially about what makes people tick. I’m also a big believer in if you can’t explain your reasoning for your decision logically then you must have arrived at your decision illogically.

So you want it to be done locally against photos that are stored in the cloud?

This only happens for photos that you upload to onedrive. Why or how would it happen “locally”?

You said “a bunch of asshole corporations databases” - who are the “bunch of corporations”? Microsoft is only 1 corporation.

The don’t have to justify themselves to me, they have to figure out how to handle only changing it 3 times a year.

I’m trying to understand any reasons why someone would turn it on/off more than once. Not asking people to “justify”, just curious because it’s not something that makes sense to turn on and off multiple times.

The attacker had to already be logged in to the machine for this exploit.

What part of letting me name people in my uploaded photos so I can easily find all of the photos of them is somehow anti-freedom?

Does google photos have this feature in Germany like it does where I am?

I feel like people are misunderstanding what this actually is. When you upload photos, it detects faces and lets you tag those faces with a name, and then you can just click on that person and it will show you all the photos you have of that person. That's it. It's not sharing them with anyone. Why on earth would that be not allowed?

I would assume that the "arbitrary limit" is actually based on something like the amount of processing power that it could take to go through every single photo/file that is uploaded.

Anyway, even if it is arbitrary - what reason would anyone have to turn it on and off more than 3x a year? It's something you'd decide you either want or you don't.

Do you?

I don’t want my fucking face going out to a bunch of asshole corporations databases

What about this topic makes you think anything like this is happening?
