Last time they thought about rolling it out, security researchers immediately found ways to do clear text exfiltration of user data.
This should be terrifying for anybody who is at all concerned about opsec for anything at all.
Corporate /LTS editions don't have this crap. MS only rapes the peasantry
Would be interesting to see how microsoft kills windows in the long term and then be shocked as to how this happened
Kind of like how they fucked up and let zoom become the pandemic program everyone used despite skype being so established it had already become a verb like google? M$ really racking up those wins recently
laughs in Linux
There's nothing to laugh about. The maniacally evil thing about recall is, that it doesn't matter what you do to keep your devices clean. If you interact with someone who doesn't keep his devices clean, which is 100% of us, you're on recall
Good thing I have no friends to interact with then! Take that, Microsoft!
So reading more into it, it's (currently) only on the bogus copilot+ PCs they were peddling? I'm happily on bazzite, but this is good news for my stubborn mates that haven't touched copilot+ shit.
I opt-out.
Me too... well using linux is technically opting out to that right?
It's the only way to be sure Microsoft won't sneakily turn it back on.
At least until they sneak it into VS Code's telemetry. ...only sort of joking.
Just like opting out of using a Microsoft account to log into windows, the grips will get tighter and tighter over time until you are forced to use butt hole ID to unlock your screen.
My windows10 install still asks me to complete the setup...lol no
Roll it back in please.
