Using OCR you could reduce that to seconds.

While I do get a lot of mail, including a lot of spam, it’s not that bad.

And the real problem is that most commercial companies make their legitimate administrative/legal mails look more & more like spam or phishing mails, not the other way around.

I get those too, and I don’t even have any Microsoft accounts. So I assume at least some of them are not real. ;)

And for a company, not having to train people on all new applications at once might be what makes it _practically_ possible at all.

How can you _prove_ (“demonstrate”) that your software doesn’t contain malware or any vulnerabilities?

They can’t do that for any of their own software for sure…

Not all "hostname lookups" by applications happen over DNS (or the DNS is done by something like systemd-resolved, which is often using encrypted lookups), so in many cases, depending on NSS configuration (e.g. 'file', 'resolve', 'db', 'nis', 'mymachines', 'libvirt', 'winbind', ...) this would never work?

Yes. For these cases it won't work. OpenSnitch intercepts the client side library for this reason. I would rather want to avoid this for the moment and wait for feedback.

WiFi works fine if there are drivers for whatever WiFi chip you have.

Unfortunately there are no standards for OS to talk to WiFi devices like exist for many other types of hardware, so it’s not possible to make generic drivers.

It seems like this was implemented as a way to insert tips, and then abused to insert ads, so the developers involved might not have been aware of that part until later?

They reduce accidents in general, but bring us some “entertaining” new ones where a (usually) drunk driver crashes into the statue/fountain/whatever in the middle or uses the little “hill” in the middle as a jump ramp…

As opposed to drunk drivers who treat a non-roundabout intersection as a game of Russian roulette?

Before people believe the Tesla robot hype they should probably consider that Toyota has been making cars AND robots for longer than Tesla exists.

And they started making electric cars in the mid-90s. They almost sold 400 of them, so that experience has definitely paid off.
