No that would be illegal. They merely store "metadata", like the frequency and order of words in your message

Tricky unless it's CGI
If you are filming a live actor you can only VR to the view recorded by the camera.
I can't see the value in being able to experience the 'performers' POV and have them turn round and see the crew (although rule 34) but to do this you would need another crew recording the first crew....
>the fatal flaw with books is they can't stuff adverts down your throat
Oh you poor innocent child, The time Terry Pratchett’s German publisher inserted a soup ad into his novel.
Writeble DVDs don't last as long, or by the time writeable DVDs became popular we were more worried about the lifetime of all writeble disks

We just got orders from corporate IT not to use Outlook locally and to delete any PST files.
I'm assuming somebody got caught with saved evidence of something that the Office365 version could have deleted.
All the Office365/Teams/sharepoint stuff works perfectly from Edge under Linux.
Ironically it's mostly hardware that need to keep a Windows dual-boot, there are no good CAD / FPGA / PCB tools under Linux
We got smart plugs for our monitors.
Our remote desktop software requires the displays to be on or it can't use the GPU (don't ask) but somebody decided it wasn't green to have a dozen LCDs on overnight, so we got a bucket load of landfill Amazon smart plugs and everyone spent a day trying to pair them with their phones

Effectively I'm banking on the Fed's blockchain - so why do I put up with Wells Fargo or BoA 'customer service'?
Presumably the Fed are the only group in America who wouldn't cheer the total destruction of all retail banks
Launched original with over-complicated rules and a tablet based text mode system
1000 years later had to relaunch an update with more user friendly human interface
Then promised they would send the service guy back to fix everything, but 2000 years later the users are still waiting
So YHWH is in enterprise IT ?
Yes if you want to come out of retirement and compete with all the other 19 year olds to be a $VERB$.js developer
If you want to fight off all the recruiters desperate for COBOL, FPGAs, MFC and even C++ experience - or just any developer that can do maths beyond reaching for a calculator
>Although, as Russia did not claim to have targeted the building (it wasn't even directly hit), it probably wouldn't be considered an act of war against Germany unless in - the extremely improbable - case Germany wanted it to be so
Like the USA accidentally bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.
Rental agencies demand bottom of the barrel specs - because only cost matters
Car makers build crappy quality vehicles because they are going to be changed out after 9 months and the rental company is only buying on price.
And of course nobody's first experience of driving new model XYZ is based on having rented one ....
