Windows Recall Is Very Creepy...

Microsoft Recall will record your screen and allow you to go back and recall anything from it. The privacy issues with this are pretty big for something that doesn't benefit the majority of people using Windows.

Don't worry guys, , the multi trillion dollar company pinky promised the feature is local and that it's encrypted. Trust them.

Weird that MS is trying to encourage Linux uptake so hard.

[JoyeuseIntent]

After the announcement I started trying to enumerate the things I can't do on Linux, it's not a long list

This "feature" only benefits a corporation that WILL sell your data, including your daily actions on "your" operative system to the biggest bidder.

You can turn it off just like how you can change your default browser. It is local until OneDrive is turned on automatically with the next update and decides to sync it across all of your devices.

Now a boss can ask an employee to show him on his computer what he did yesterday at...11:30. It's spyware.

I'm waiting for some russian guy to provide tools to remove this feature

[nickdibart]

This is the surveillance of anything you do on your PC, there's no other way to say it.

[MarquisDeSang]

This feature will motivate 2-3% of users to jump on Linux

[misakianimated]

Just when you thought windows 11 couldn't get any worse

I wonder is there an office in MS where the marketing team are in there celebrating thinking they’ve done a great job selling this crap, I hope nobody puts up with this

[WarlonWinterheart]

They know that most people won't switch from windows no matter what. The amount of inconvenience people are willing to put up just to avoid the inconvenience of switching an operating system is limitless. Also microsoft will likely again backtrack on this again and do something like make it off by default and then everyone is happy again. MS uses these "shock features" to make it easier to include slightly less evil things in each update.

[KneelBBacon]

Microsoft will absolutely abuse this. No doubt at all.

[Wizardof]

I will just *RECALL* how to use Windows 7 while using common sense.

[ryansmith]

The reality of our current state of technology is terrifying. And it's here now.

[FreeOpenSourceLinux]

Best time for Windows users to switch to linux and get their privacy and freedom back.

[coolerking]

Windows 10 will be my last computer. I guess I will use Linux and MACS for my work.

[gd.ritter]

isn't this just a port of the same idea that exists on xbox?

[aussiefan]

Great article mate, thank you for posting. Very informative I agree with you 💯

Recall - MSFT just needed something with AI to flog the Arm Windows PCs. Backfired a bit I reckon. I don't know what the C-suite were thinking (or NOT) when they OK'd this rubbish. Luckily I don't use a proprietary OS!
