Thanks for linking this. Glad to see the scope of this is rather wide. We have a single confirmed non-resident case in this county.
It felt like the scope of the whole state was too wide considering the lack of cases near us. And without any definite financial assistance in place. Hoping something more definite comes soon as I know multiple people who are affected by this order.
I'd agree with the oddness of sharing your emotions in a team meeting. I likely wouldn't express my "true" feelings.
I gauge my teammates emotional states based on personal interactions and available context. Nor is it something I would want tracked. But perhaps kept in mind when adding tasks to their plate.
If you want honest feedback, I'd say use the power of anonymity. Engagement surveys with the right questions can pull this data. Keep in mind that the emotional statements can be hyperbolized one way or the other.
TL;DR - talk to your people "face to face." And reach out to those they're close with if concerned. Or directly and up front. Which avoids complicating with subversion.
I just made my own private office in my home. Easily done with cost savings of remote work.
I suspect you mean private office at HQ, or alike. To which I'd say... that'd be a hell of a lot better than tradition or open office layout. But you'd still lose most of the remote benefits for what I suspect is little gain.
Forcing a company to have a diagnostic tool or team to identify a problem you might not have them fix is silly IMO. So is forcing their hand on creating a repairable product.
I don't expect Microsoft to be able to easily identify obscure hardware issues with a design like my Surface Book 2. I do expect them to create a hardware product that doesn't break easily. Supplying the specs is a big benefit in my purchase decision. But not something I think should be required since it will undoubtedly give competitors more of an edge in their own development.
The onus is on me to purchase a product that matches my needs.
Basically useless is pretty hyperbolic. Saying "Navigate to 12 John Street, Bullocks NY" is very simple. The main features work quite well without search history.
Though I'd agree setting a home address shouldn't be tied to search history, if that's the case.
Taking things too literally seems to be a plague infecting many topics lately. I've interpreted the phrase similarly, do whatever you need to, just get "it" out of your head! Perfection is the enemy of good.
You're not removing, just disabling. All connections are stored when FB is disabled. Better yet, messenger can persist without FB and stories are generally
quality personal updates. Messenger is a great application.
I found curation of my FB feed was ineffective. Glad you've had luck though!
An on point post. My friends are usually those who I value outside of their internet self's.
All our posting habits are up for criticism. And I'm not a fan of feeds that are entertainment or content consumption based. I just want to keep up with what's going on in my friend's lives and have the benefits of that network effect and their tools.
I tried with much effort to weed out memes and garbage content via the share feature. I'm interested in personal photos and status updates(not twitter-esque complaints). But I had little to no success.
Give me a "disable memes & politics" button and I'd probably be back that day.
I don't think your last statement is accurate. While the device is "listening" for the trigger words, it's not storing information. It only collects information you call upon it for. You do need to actively engage. I have not seen evidence of otherwise.
The device is not a bunch of strangers. There's no humans listening to "your" conversation. Though they may be listening to anonymized clips. The activity stored is also your own to control.
I think such privacy concepts are too abstract for a child to be concerned about. You'd be hurting their view of technology and enforcing an idea of Big Brother if you were to teach them a voice assistant is a bunch of strangers listening to you.
I don't think this is a new development, privacy in voice assistants is the equivalent of your browser's search history. If anything, that made me more conscious of privacy than anything else.
Our kids know I can see anything they ask. As well as any time spent on devices. I don't see this as very different from my upbringing. And I haven't noticed any regression in trust.
I live with my 6 & 9 year old nephews. I set up a Google Home in their bedroom and some in the common area's. It's been very interesting to watch them use it.
The 6 year old's pronunciation is not perfect and I could see a lot of frustration when he was initially using it. The drive to use the device has driven him to take his time and really focus on pronunciation so he can play the song or video's that he likes.
They understand it's a computer. But we all tend to treat it as an assistant. A really touching moment was when he used the Home to call "Santa." After he finished that call and we walked away, I saw/listened in My Activity that he asked to call God.
