New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare
New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare
Would you like a timeline of everything you do on your PC?
The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and more,” according to the Verge. What could this mean for future computing? It would certainly make digital forensics a whole lot easier…..

How would companies that work on classified documents or HIPPA-compliant networks adapt to this bullshit? Surely Microsoft thought this through to prevent a massive data leak, right?
Use Linux
Linux isn't the answer to everything. Linux users have become the vegans of the internet.
Mind you I support Linux...
I think it would be easier than relying on Microsoft. Or use MacOS
Well you asked how to get out of the windows privacy nightmare. He simply answered it. This isn't like some vegan telling you that veganism is going to save global warming. It's an actual solution.
Within Windows you can guarantee that Microsoft will somehow auto activate these privacy nightmares as they always do. No matter the Sysadmins trying to fight Microsoft with Regedits.
Linux is starting to get more and more usable each year, and the need to jump ship from Windows gets bigger and bigger each year. While software compatibility remains an issue for a lot of proprietary Windows software, companies might want to seriously consider moving to Linux for privacy related reasons.
What else is the answer? Proprietary garbage™?
Cope. Anti-libre software is never the answer. Some people never learn to help themselves.
Yeah this kind of blind proselytizing makes me cringe to be a linux user
Nothing's more cringe than letting anti-libre software abuse us again and again and again...
Probably the same way they've done Windows in the past: Enterprise, IoT, LTS/B, and Education versions. All you can do at that point is assume and hope they aren't lying about telemetry gathered in those variants.

This is a lie. Anti-libre software, Windows, bans us from removing malicious source code. So, we (1) remove it and (2, optional) replace it.
