This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"But most significantly, Microsoft has made Recall a feature you must opt in to using rather than opt out of using, and it's possible to remove it completely."
Important bit
This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.
I guess that means I have to break out the old GOATSE wall paper.
Have to admit, the name "Recall" does have a better ring to it than "Take a Screenshot Every 3 Seconds".
It's a pretty bold move to advertise the inclusion of a key logger in your OS.
Not just keylogger. It's a screenlogger too.
Ardamax Keylogger takes screenshots too, should they change the name?
Youd already be using Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you cared about not being data mined.
I've been Linux only since 2016, after a decade of "trying " to move over. I do still have a partition for the increasingly rare event that I need something MS, which so far has been one class in my University that required a lockdown browser for a test.
Mint is easy to use too if you don't want to fiddle around with various packages.
How long until Microsoft gets accused of stealing classified info?
I’m sure most corporations have agreements that prevent M$ from using this. Or M$ has to host all of its data gathering on azure government.
Welp... Linux it is, then
Nahh bro just use third party script then re run it every update 🤡
That's literally what Linux updates are
Anyway if you read the article it's opt in and fully removable.
for now
Till they change their mind again. Ms in my experience also really like to disregard your settings
Not as bad as google, but yeah they have a tendency to overstep. The only way to make settings stick is the traditional way, which is the group policy editor. Settings there usually stick for 20-30 years
Normally they'd say this and then change it again. That's pretty much how every "feature" they've added to their OS and it is becoming a little too bloaty.
They update, this third party script is to make windows less rapey
Tell me you're a young man without telling me you're a young man.
I wish haha
We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).
I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.
This comment is critical of Microsoft because the company name was mentioned in the article.
