C0D468246109drecall is by far the most nanny state bullshit I have even read about.
I don't know where MS is going with this, but selling it as a "restore to a point in time" by screen recording your every move and rolling you back to a literal point in time is beyond disturbing.
This can be resolved with a backup / restore feature, hell the Office365 and oneDrive hard sell when you update windows is enough, but recall , I got nothing.
"But it's local"
until it's not
"it doesn't record incognito browsers"
so long as its Edge.
I know I've backed MS in the past on some of their decisions, but this is beyond the usual fucked up invasion of privacy, I'm with the tin foil hatters on this, it's a disaster waiting to happen. -
thebiochemic3028108d@C0D4 funnily enough i can imagine now with recall being announced, even more people will go back to Win10 as long as it's alive, some will move to macOS, some not gonna bother and get a Chromebook, and some take the plunge and get some Linux distro.
Win10 is already the #1 on the latest Steam Survey and with these moves from MS it'll definitely stay that way.
(And yes i know the steam survey is not really a good measurement, but you can argue, that you can see trends there aswell) -
jestdotty4086108dif they can track all your keystrokes they can also automate your work, technically
so those they took our jerbs people
also more advanced forms of serving ads literally spy on you. like how long were you on the segment of the page displaying the ad? did you mouse over it?
they put cameras on grocery shelves at some point to see how people's eyes would scan for items, then determined the best place to put items that they can make the best profit off it based on it
now they'll track everything, and manipulate you harder
actually there was some nuns whose letters got analyzed and they could figure out which of them was gonna get Alzheimer's later on in life from the way they wrote
imagine the correlations you could mine from all this data -
workabit157108dthis will end up with microsoft's longest suite of class actions in history.
Not only are they trash programmers, but they also infringe people's right to privacy with 0 remorse, that's why non of them ever tried to stand out, little pieces of shit -

It's probably going to be based on gpt-4o, analyzing all output on the screen in realtime.
Then it would go:
"I see you are using WSL2. It's not recommendable to use any kind of Linux as Windows is a superior operating system. To uninstall WSL2 from your Windows system, you'll need to follow a series of steps to ensure all components related to WSL2 and any installed Linux distributions are properly removed. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Uninstall Linux Distributions
Open Settings:
Press Win + I to open the Settings app.
Go to Apps > Apps & features...."

Microsoft have recently announced two things that are related to each other:
1. Windows 11 will be equipped with a built-in Copilot that will "see" everything the user does and store it locally (at least so they say).
2. A new PC, redesigned from ground up with AI in mind, called CoPilot+ PC, will be released in June.
I'm not sure if any of this is good news. It's disturbing enough that MS Word interfers with my work by displaying "friendly" pop ups about how Copilot can assist me. And there seems to be no way of turning the damn thing off. I don't want to use Word anymore, but at work I'm forced to use Microsoft's shitty office applications. So now I'm resorting to WordPad, which has a much cleaner interface and hasn't yet been infected with M$ Artificial Idiot CockPilot.
