Technically Gates left MS but MS is a "partner" in many of the same dystopian projects that the B & M Gates Foundation is. Definitely both into the whole Digital ID thing and weird patents related to controlling every aspect of humans' lives.

Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.

Earning cryptocurrency using body movements. Microsoft Systems. Work harder, earn more, slave. Keep moving, slave.

Patent number has 060606 because that's not creepy at all.

If anyone's curious as to why Windows takes so long to update, it's probably because all your personal data is being uploaded to MS.

Yep... And I think the MS “phone home is even worse than updates. Dayglored and I have talked about it in the past. It gives them a data dump everytime you shut it down.

That is why it takes so long to shut down, and why MS does not like a physical forced power down. “Windows was not shut down properly”.

Yeah, because you robbed it of it’s call home with the usage data dump before shut down and it has to catch up with that before it will boot.
