How to tell if you are vulnerable to CIA hacking tools - YouTube[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

CIA snooping? They have nothing much compared to what microsoft can do, and worse still people pay ms to take their data without oversight and sell it to even less regulated businesses.

...and you're one of the top 1% that don't pay the government to snoop?

At least the CIA admits snooping, and it's pretty much in their job description.
Anyway, nothing to hide and no plans to change that.
As to ms, (and to be fair google too) blocked their telemetry. What little they still get also not worried (also use a few different bogus accounts when needed to log in for something).

..what MS can do might be due to the payments of the CIA. And according to the leaks, that would be their modus operandi.

An odd reply, from me, but it kinda' brings a tear of pride.
The US is hacked continuously and it is a nice feeling to know we've possibly been out-hacking them all: well enough not to be detected.
Yeah - there's all sorts of privacy issues and I resent anyone watching anything I do. But, separating myself from common sense, it's nice to know that in this particular war we've also got some clever folks 'reaching out to touch everyone'
Laser-Doppler on your window and all the sound in your room can be picked up without a microphone; and, of course, drive-by thermal imaging of building content. Aluminum foil on your head makes it easier to identify you (setting yourself afire might damage their IR sensor if you want to get back at them).
Samsung, by the way, noted that it's TVs (with bi-directional communication capabilities) were potentially hacking some time ago - why is anyone even a bit surprised? I've no interest in a smart TV any more than a smart phone. I'll pick my spying ports, personally.

I don't have any problem with that either... if they were really doing it for defence and/or to the "bad" guys... But I somehow have the feeling, they didn't

Dear Bing:
I work in a place where instead of creating conversion programs to convey data from a system with no data integrity to out relational Data Base, they use packages and just some SQLs . . . the plan is now to further improve the constant Bad data issues is to write more SSRS reports and . . . I am in my 50's I have been doing many tasks for many years - where can I go to escape this madness . . . signed - message in a bottle.

Well, for the last five years I've been working on a team that might be similar to yours. We use SSIS to "source" data from all over the enterprise into SQL Server -- from SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, MySQL, CSV, Excel (ptui), Web Services, whatever. We have one job -- to bring in all the data as exactly as we can. At most we have to detect values that SQL Server can't handle (SQL Server appears to support the narrowest range of date and numeric values  ).
Data integrity and data quality are not our job. Those are dealt with downstream of us and they who are performing that function can't do it unless they see all the data.
I recommend you adopt this separation of concerns before you start down a rabbit hole.

We're doing something similar. One of the business units have vendor software, but we have access to the database. Since the software only has some user validation, some of the records are considered wrong and they ask us to write reports to validate the data; so they can find the records that are incomplete. The reports can be nasty and take a lot of time, but job security is job security.
