Well then they obviously can’t help you…

The SSN is useless without a corresponding name, so they’ll monitor for known leaks of your name, phone number and email, and report anything that is linked to those. Chances are, if the leak is genuine, your data will be as well.
Google is Mozilla’s biggest source of income, and google developers have actively contributed code to the Firefox engine.
So you decide for yourself what level of independence you assign to it.
Are you connected to some VPN? I had this when I connected to some mainstream servers, and was able to log in just fine when I switched to something less common, without changing any security/privacy features.
Without the buyout, the company would have failed even earlier. Doesn’t help the employees either.
Yeah it’s very weird, no idea what happened there. Maybe someone had somehow sent me a link and it was looping in the background? No clue. I gave up trying how teams and teams groups work a long time ago, the implementation is a major shitshow.
My employer. Who owns the laptop. And forbids me to fuck around with it…
I haven’t heard of either, let me check if I can run those with my user profile and not break anything I need to log on to our corporate network in the process.
It’s really not as crazy as the media makes it sound like on a general basis, but yeah. Ever since covid even the last person realized what rights remain when the powers that be go wild. My days here are numbered anyways, just a few more weeks.
Not that I’m aware of, but I’ll double check.
Been poking around a bit more, and found another entry in the Firewall that comes up right on boot, which is a service called MS.Edge.Webview2, which seems to be triggered through the Teams App (that I did have on autostart). I’ve now completely uninstalled Teams, and after a fresh boot the ad (or “media control”) seems to be gone now. Guess I’ll be using Teams from my phone or via browser in the future. No idea how that happened though, I never played any video through Teams.
I tried and it doesn’t update, even after a clean reboot with no browser open whatsoever.

Not for the sake of being able to use Linux, no. On other terms most certainly.
Yep I can access the hosts file, that’s a great idea. Will give it a shot. I just hope those aren’t IPs that MS is using for genuine requests of applications I have to use such as Teams or Outlook… But will give it a try, at least if anything else breaks, I know what to do to resolve that. Thanks for the tip!
Thought of that as well, but all ads are blocked and I get this popup even with the browser closed and after a full reboot (not just suspend and reactivate), so it must happen on system level, I assume. Checked my run on startup applications and services, and they appear to be clean as well.
I live in China, policies are to be followed. There is no “but”, and I rather pick a nicer hill to die on, when it comes to that.
Oh nice, thanks! Will give it a shot.
I have disabled and uninstalled it, but office 365 still enforces it as the default save as location, so now when I use the dialogue, the system hangs for 30 seconds. Even disabled it in the policy management, but no dice.
Just sign up for their API and use chatboxai.app (free software), use the GPT4 API code, and you’ll use the model through an alternative front-end for pennies on the dollar.
I’m using it extensively and rarely spend more than 1,20 - 1,50 a month.
They can, do, and will keep doing so. Damaging projects and efforts in the process.
