#Wise customers are now expected to consent to retention and disclosure to partners of #biometric facial information for up to a year simply to continue using their accounts, and even when not required by local financial regulations.

Here's the U.S. notice: https://wise.com/us/legal/facial-scan-notice

@ncoca Glad it helped. I was just looking for an option to do that (the U.S. page I linked says there's a setting, but in my account I can't find one). I've written to their privacy team asking for details of the alternative method, and stating clearly that I do not consent to use or retention of biometric data.

@ncoca I recently signed up here with Sony Bank and that was quite smooth. I think anyone with 6 months left on their long-term visa can do that. Signup is all via an app, the usual documents, but you don't need to send a selfie. They don't do all the interbank transfer options you have with Wise but the VISA card seems to work fine for international transactions and you can hold funds in major currencies within the account.

about a really high quality and expensive meal in called Shojin Ryori. It's a vegetarian cuisine that's prepared at Buddhist temples and is mostly found in Kyoto. You will need to reserve ahead of time for these.

@Deus Definitely not easy to find fully vegetarian food here. You can get quite a lot of things that look vegetarian but still have meat or fish lurking somewhere (although you'll still pay quite a lot of money for an ellaborate spread like the one in your picture). Often broth is made from fish stock, even if everything else is vegetarian. As your other commenter mentioned, it can be made with seaweed instead.

I don't understand why the tech brotherhood is pushing AI so hard. I get that investors want to hear about it. But it's so resource hungry, and they have to know that. They also have to be smart enough to know it's a fad. Is it a desperate ploy to establish a sustainable revenue model for it before the music stops? Surely they have to know the music is going to stop. They have to know no one is going to keep paying for this.

It doesn't make sense. Something else has to be behind this.

JFC now you need to use a browser Microsoft approves of in your operating system to be able to disable its on-by-default continual surveillance of your every action while using it 👀

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/manage-recall

(Unsurprisingly, only the browsers that are part of the "surveil everything" club are mentioned)

@adnan They're really taking things to a new level. Fortunately my machine is too old to run most of this stuff, and I'm still running Windows 10. It's frustrating that I'm going to have to switch (back) to Linux though. Setting everything up the way I want it is a PITA.

@adnan I don't get how companies are expected to be fine with "Recall", either. Surely the information security ramifications are staggering in a corporate environment. Or maybe they're hoping firms will buy it for the opportunity to be able to retrospectively snoop on staff.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@GossiTheDog @rysiek "until they're ready" what the hell? what's it going to take for people to tell software companies where to stick their continual violation of users' autonomy?

@GossiTheDog @rysiek Also, do Windows Home users have access to the policy editor needed to disable this?
