Is it possible that Microsoft is using the remaining power of my machine to power paid Microsoft Azure machines?

How would we go about that, and how does that fit in modern day capitalism (you don’t even own your own machine)?

    Soon, much more things will be connected to the Internet, which means much more control over our hardware - or companies basically treating us as a hostile country they want to suck on, by intrigue, spying and military action.

    More than your dishwasher and microwave?

    Also, who is treating you like a criminal?

      Cars and city objects will be connected to the Internet.

      Treated like a criminal, for example, as in I can’t be trusted with deDRMd stuff because I’m presumed to have bad intentions with owning my hardware/data.
