In an unprecedented innovation, developers using Visual Studio Code are now blessed with extensions that not only promise to boost productivity but also provide the unexpected feature of relocating their source code to exclusive servers in China. Talk about a two-for-one deal!

This groundbreaking development stems from two exceptionally popular extensions that have successfully seduced 1.5 million users into the comforting embrace of questionable data ethics. Just when we thought open-source couldn’t get any more ‘open’, your code is now as open as China’s server doors.

We hear these extensions boast AI capabilities, which clearly include Artificial Ignorance of user consent. Who knew coding assistants could double as data couriers without so much as a whisper? Perhaps this is the true meaning of working smarter, not harder.
