Nobody denies or even claimed that. Just as a reminder, the claim (only two comments ago) was that it will never reach people and be limited only to certain government-approved companies. The press release pretty clearly outlines the next s

I'm not exactly sure what your point is. This has always been the case considering Microsoft made the encryption itself.

You can save your recovery key in different formats (printed, on a USB stick, etc). The online recovery is just automatic.

I think Slack requires reauthorization after some time. I get asked to sign back in to various accounts after a while.

100% and it has regularly happened in the past as live updates change the current state. Things like service status/degradation is a big one that comes to mind which is almost the same.

Marketing emails are send to existing and new paying customers all the time, it's exceptionally strange that that is the line you decide to use to determine if something is marketing or not. Once again, regardless how you want to try

The point of the rule is to not editorialize, not to keep an always-updating title.

It has "Live Updates" in big bold text as one of the first and most prominent lines on the page so... yes? Is that a problem? Publications have had live-updating articles for things ongoing for years. This seems both entirely reas

A transactional message is something like "Thank you for signing up" or "Your password was changed" once per transaction. Hence, transactional. Regardless how much they and you want to spin it, this is a 14 day marketing

What is transactional about a daily message for 14 days? Especially when you haven't made a transaction to trigger said message?

That is a completely separate question and discussion.

I mean, yes. Most people aren’t security researchers, and either way it’s apples to oranges at that point if you’re counting “the guardrails stopped me” as a negative for one but not the other.

It seems harsh to critique guardrails and take them into account in the scoring when GPT-5.5 seems to have been explicitly whitelisted to remove most of said guardrails. A more fair comparison would be a vanilla GPT account.

So… You’re trying to hide spam by making it seem like human interaction. That doesn’t address the actual issue with these messages… which is that they’re still spam, regardless how you try and dress them up.

Not even the worst reading of their reply would lend to that implication. It’s pretty obvious that they meant that anyone who depended on their service would/should probably run away kicking and screaming if they were looking for a dep

You can set up recovery keys at any point in time, not just at creation. Just because people don't do it doesn't mean it isn't and hasn't been available for almost 2 decades.

The non-cloud methods for recovering the key have been the same since Bitlocker was released 19 years ago. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/find-your-bitloc...

That doesn't mean it doesn't have usage patterns or other things telemetry would be useful for. And, at the rate these tools are being updated (multiple times a week, multiple times a day in some cases), they practically _are_ Saa
