Like Firefox, it's good to know. /s
A contradiction in the same piece of news.
Last but not least, I do hope they are not located in the USA because they would compete with all the other paid email services around the world.
That's not a contradiction. I'm not defending the latter bit, to be clear, and I do not use the service. Just pointing out that those things do not contradict each other.
Data is sent to NVIDIA, you don't and can't know what is done about it. That's the same for any AI usage that is not local, and most people don't have the skills to do that.
It's being sent to Nvidia IF you enable the AI feature AND IF your hardware is too weak to run the AI locally
Same as proton for the most part. The ai stuff is stupid anyway. Write your own emails or use a real LLM.
Is it encrypted at rest? That’s a big one. Email is insecure in general but that’s the bare minimum.
I'll wait for the source code first. Mozilla is famous for pushing a lot of crap.
Where is NVIDIA mentioned at all?
You dont know what's done with any of your data at any service, you have to trust what they say
That's good because I don't think I subscribe to any service at all.
