It upsets me that in working with webpages, I regularly look at “all” the network traffic going to a website - and clearly Microsoft’s GUID is hiding somewhere it won’t even show.
It might be stored locally, then shared with a call home through telemetry after which Microsoft then sells it as “anonymized” data, which is then again recombined with other sets by the buyer to recreate your profile.
I read that they can combine 3 anonymized datasets to fairly accurately identify a person.
Yep, and add the OS itself spying with an unremovable universal ID, by a company who proactively reports on you, and wtf moments really turn surreal.
