> Court reporting in 2026 established that Microsoft held a GDID-to-URL/time/IP association in one investigation. Afaik, this is illegal under GDPR, as an IP has been classified as a personal identifier.

Storing IP address itself is not illegal. The questions are: 1) what is the legal basis for storing it and if that's proper or not (e.g. legitimate interest requires balancing test) 2) if proper GDPR Article 13 notice was given and it covers that processing 3) if all Article 5 principals are being followed in regards to it (e.g. data minimization, retention period etc.) 4) if Microsoft had legal basis to transfer the…

  > Storing IP address itself is not illegal
True, but associating that with a device the user owns (not Microsoft) would require a very real justification like you mentioned, and I precluded that there is no legitimate interest here. caveat: IANAL.

"The mutation path", "the fully lab-validated line. Other accepted builds warn.", "Status can still inspect", "command, verdict, exit code", "device-identity rehydrate sources", "the network gate", "real-shaped PUID"? WTF. That was extremely difficult to read. I'm assuming it's LLMese (I've had less trouble with reading the writing of ESL'ers), but one of the strangest dialects of it I've ever seen. It has the flavou…

Repo "author" here. That's just my custom instructions in the IDE, sometimes they result in hilarious docs, sometimes less so. Using GPT Sol for this project, and Fable for review.

This is slop (derogatory) It's missing quite a few things. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for claude

I’ll bite. What is it missing?

You can tracelog CDP, passport, delivery optimization, and countless other services if you're interested.
