Microsoft Can Track Users Via a Windows Device ID

A criminal complaint against alleged Scattered Spider member Peter Stokes revealed that Microsoft can associate Windows activity with a persistent "Global Device ID," which investigators used to link his PC to online activity connected to a hack. While unique device IDs are common, the case has raised privacy concerns because the identifier can apparently persist across updates, has no simple opt-out, and may allow Microsoft to connect a Windows installation to activity on third-party services.

I spent years reaching for my phone the moment anxiety hit, and then I found out sound therapists engineered an eight-minute song to slow your heart rate down to 50 beats per minute, and it works better than anything else I tried

For years, the moment anxiety hit, my hand went to my phone before my brain had finished registering what was happening. Not to call anyone. Not even to look anything up. Just to hold it, unlock it, scroll it, as if the object itself were a stress ball with a battery in it. It never ... Read more Read more
