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).
Is this a joke comment? Your experience is playing on MS OS, a flight sim which, assuming it’s the Flight Simulator, periodically sends data back and forth? on top of using it at work.
Is this a joke response to my comment? I play XPlane 11 and 12 and Aerofly FS4. Reread the original comment I replied to because you seem confused.
This this more of a byproduct of the design than anything.
Its almost like this was a bad idea to begin with.
We all saw that coming.
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.
Thanks for making it nice and user friendly… most of my elders go into a kind of fugue state when they see the terminal
Thanks for mentioning microWin. A tool I didn’t know I needed. I figured none had been made since XP’s Tweaks.
You’re welcome. Just keep in mind that removing Recall from the W11 ISO apparently also reverts Explorer to the W10 version.
Oh noooo
. . . anyway
To each their own, but I think the new one is better in every way (while still lacking basic functionality).
yeahhhh I’m still using classic shell
Both “problems” I’m happy to deal with.
Microsoft: there won’t be bugs
This isn’t a bug. It is by design
steamOS cannot come any sooner for desktop
Since the first steam machine in 2008 it’s all I’ve ever wanted…
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.
If you’re building or buying a PC for Linux, you gotta go AMD. Such a better graphics experience than Nvidia, I’ve never had video drivers break since switching.
I am pretty much dedicated to notebooks these days and choices are VERY limited.
For desktops though, absolutely.
Im excited to live in that world.
Any game that relies on BS DRM like Denuvo that refuses to work for SteamOS can die in a fire.
Most of the are shitty multiplayer games anyways.
next PC upgrade won’t feature any Intel or Nvidia, full AMD full glorious Linux under steamOS hopefully
Have done that since 2014 and do not regret it one bit. 10/10 do recommend.
I’m using bazzite for now in lieu of that
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.
eh? I tried gaming with lutris fairly recently and I’d call it far from solved.
it’s in a better spot than a decade ago
What went wrong? I’ve had essentially no issues lately. I know there’s a handful of games with anti-cheats or DRMs that break (mostly out of China), but it’s pretty minor. Modding is also a bit of a pain and has to be done manually for now, but Nexus is working on a new mod manager that should work for all platforms eventually.
What a surprise, the spy software is spying on you.
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.”

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.

Maybe by “sensitive information” they mean theirs.
