Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.

THE PROBLEM
I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.

I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

Fun fact-

I'm pretty sure I've got the only chicken coop & run that has doors from a presidential mansion!

Back story:
The Wheatland estate - President James Buchanan's home in Lancaster PA, was doing some repairs and was throwing out all the wooden screen doors (they weren't original). We salvaged them from their dumpster and used them when we built the coop and run.

The SDF Computer Museum is open Mondays 10-5pm in Tukwila, WA to our BOOTSTRAP members. For details, visit https://icm.museum/join.html

There are 10 car-free villages in #Switzerland.

In Bettmeralp, most vehicles are electric. But once a week they attach this truck to one of the gondolas to collect the garbage.

I got to experience the other ways car-free life is possible in a Swiss alpine community...
