Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies. #privacy #security
@[email protected] obviously nobody with relevant insight is in control at the windows division of microsoft
@[email protected] I feel this is something that should be on the news for those who arn’t technical and on all there social media in the true dystopian light it deserves.
together in a summary with all other similar shitty changes, because I bet must don’t know about any of them
@[email protected] 2024/2025 will be known as “The Great Defenestration” in the computing world
#Windows #Windows11 #Microsoft #Recall #Copilot
@[email protected] I found this part to be illuminating:
“Earlier reports by Deskmodder indicated that the latest Windows 11 update (24H2) might allow users to uninstall Recall entirely. However, Microsoft clarified to The Verge that this uninstall option was a bug.”
You see, it’s a feature, not a bug. But this feature turns Windows into a bug. So…
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Do you all get the feeling that the uninstall options was there for Devs?
And someone forgot to remove it from their project till it shipped?
@[email protected] How do you remove this crap?
Working anywhere they use Windows you have no choice.
@[email protected] @[email protected] resign.
@[email protected] Windows 11 and the shenanigans with windows 10 made me install mint.
@[email protected] @[email protected] windows Vista made me install Mint.
I smell a lawsuit! Maybe more perhaps…
@[email protected] the AI features will continue until they generate something of value!
@[email protected] @[email protected] that will be infinite amount of time until AI becomes profitable
@[email protected] cool, so the whole EU has to switch to Linux / MacOS now?
Cause i am sure as hell, that this is not compliant with the GDPR
@[email protected] I would if I wasn’t gamer. All my other systems run Ubuntu, but for games, especially older ones or online with anticheat, Windows is still required because I don’t have time or nerves to fuck around to make games just work. Which is unfortunate because I like Ubuntu’s GNOME so much more than stupid Windows 11 today.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I only run Linux, most games work fine under wine or via steam Proton. If you can’t play a game under Linux due to some stupid anti cheat then don’t promote and play the game.
@[email protected] @[email protected] It’s not that simple and anti cheat is there so the game is fair as people are scumbags and cheat. You can’t blame games for that.
@[email protected] @[email protected] ow we definitely can blame games for that. Since there was recently even drama about a game that used to work under Linux, and they didn’t test Linux when “improving” the anti-cheat. Every single anti cheat system could work fine under Linux or wine/Proton, if the developers also test under Linux.
@[email protected] As always, switch to Linux
@[email protected] This is bindmoggling!
@[email protected] I guess I’ll wait for a “custom” version of 11 to hit the torrents.
This feature is a wet dream for three letter agencies or bad actors. It can’t get better than this. What next turns off TLS? I don’t know a single security researcher who will recommend this feature.
@[email protected] OR? More like ‘and’
@[email protected] How could anyone recommend this OS to orgs that work with sensitive data?
@[email protected] More than a wet dream for any spy agency. We will call it SpyOS instead of windows. Confirm my choice to switch to Linux even more.
@[email protected] At least it’s offline (for now)
It’s not like this feature is on an OS that’s full of holes or anything :troll:
@[email protected] @[email protected] you really gonna believe it’s offline?
@[email protected] @[email protected]
That’s why I said for now.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I don’t even believe this data will say locally on the machine in corporate businesses from day 1.
@[email protected] there is a whole political movement to indeed disallow e2e encryption. It’s insane. But true.
@[email protected]
You can simply be security aware and see the problems and risks. Use of researcher suggests a rare highly informed person.
@[email protected] ist das nicht ein enormes Sicherheitsrisiko? Kann man nicht an die Screenshots kommen?
