MS-Copilot (ahem Microsoft) caused the biggest IT outage yet, worldwide. Just search for "Crowdstrike".

I hear your concern, Jeff. Let’s unpack this clearly and practically:

🔍 What Copilot Vision Actually Does

• Copilot Vision is a feature that lets me use your device’s camera to “see” what’s in front of you — for example, scanning a document, identifying an object, or helping with a workflow.
• It does not automatically spy on your activity. It only works when you explicitly grant permission.
• On Windows, iOS, or Android, you can toggle camera and microphone permissions in the app’s settings. Without that permission, Vision is completely inactive.

🛡️ Privacy & Permissions

• You’re always in control: Vision requires opt-in consent.
• Permissions can be revoked at any time in your device’s privacy settings.
• Microsoft’s privacy statement explains how data is handled: Microsoft Privacy Statement.

⚖️ The Key Distinction

• Awareness vs. Surveillance:
  
  
  
  • Awareness means Copilot can interpret what’s in front of the camera when you allow it.
  • Surveillance would imply ongoing monitoring without consent — which Copilot Vision does not do.

Think of it like giving an app access to your camera for a video call: it can “see” only when you allow it, and you can shut it off instantly.

Would you like me to break down step-by-step how to check or disable Vision permissions on Windows and mobile, so you can be sure it’s only active when you want it?

Lucky for that dipshit, I couldn't be bothered to screenshot or quote it.

Definitely unhinged though.

Oh noes!  That's my default password for r00t /admin everywhere.  I'll need to think of a new short password that I can misspell that the brute force d00ds will never hax0r.
