Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.

Man the first hackers to get their hands on that data are gonna get rich. Blackmail material, personal details, banking information, passwords, everything you could want.
Microsoft really cares about security
As long as it doesn't get in the way of money
Our financial security!
It's like those sextortion scam emails that say "we took pictures of you masturbating" except this time they'll really extract some poor guy's porn habits from their Recall database lmao
Every year I'm happier and happier that I touch MS products only when paid to do so.
problems with their shit has been paying the bills here for over twenty-five years now.
How happy are you to know your personal data is still going to be leaked because 90% of the services handling it are using MS Backdoor OS? If it's not going to be your bank it will be your work, if not your work, then it will be your government, and there will be no consequences because "nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft®"™.
I only need access to a terminal for my job, i would be so happy if i could run linux on my work laptop.
Same my only experience with windows (and w11) is at work (exception being my vr flight sim pc).
What a surprise, the spy software is spying on you.
We all saw that coming.
If I want to save something I'll back it up myself. My attitude toward an OS remembering what I do: "We don't know each other and I was never here."
This this more of a byproduct of the design than anything.
Its almost like this was a bad idea to begin with.
Let me try: hunter5
Must be working, all I see is ●●●●●●●

Although not the exact topic covered in the article, as you wouldn't necessarily be sending sensitive information like that to other people, but it's important to note that this means nothing you've sent before is safe.
It's not enough that from "now on" you don't send anything you wouldn't want Recall to capture, if you've already sent it and someone with Recall captures it then it's compromised. It's not just your own device that you need to worry about, it's also everyone you might contact or have ever contacted.
steamOS cannot come any sooner for desktop
Since the first steam machine in 2008 it's all I've ever wanted....
I'm using bazzite for now in lieu of that
There's so many others you can use right now.
Most of the distros run steam great out of the box. Our biggest problem is video card updates breaking crap. Linux Tech Tips scared a bunch of people off by not reading a warning message on an update then refusing to seek any help when something broke.
You don't need SteamOS. It's likely not going to solve any problems for you that aren't solved elsewhere. It'll be good for console-like devices, but just use a normal desktop distro for a desktop computer.
I like Garuda Dragonized for gaming. It comes set up with a lot of gaming stuff already, and makes it easy to install a bunch of other gaming related packages you may want.
Theres no need to wait for Valve. The problem is solved already.
Is there a way to turn this off?
DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:RecallRun that from an administrator terminal (right click start menu and select Terminal (Administrator)). You can also do it from Settings > Privacy > Recall.
Those are the Microsoft-approved ways. If you don't trust them, you can also just download a new iso and completely rip it off before install using something like ChrisTitus' microWin.
Microsoft: there won’t be bugs
This isn't a bug. It is by design

Maybe by "sensitive information" they mean theirs.
You have to be truly an idiot these days to still be using Windows.
Or you're at work, or you need to collaborate with people who use Windows-only software. Or you bought a computer and it came with Windows, and you don't know about installing other operating systems.
And as long as that group of people you just described continues to uncritically accept everything MS does, they have no motivation to do things differently.
Or maybe that's all you know
That doesn't make you an idiot
You have to be a complete idiot these days to think everyone is able to use another solution
What do you gotta be to think bajillions of people are idiots? Besides cripplingly cynical
Where else am I throw the computer, a wall?
