Satya Nadella says Windows PCs will have a photographic memory feature called Recall that will remember and understand everything you do on your computer by taking constant screenshots. This is a great reason to ditch windows altogether. Switch to #Linux 🧑💻 They don’t care about your privacy or safety anymore and not hiding it either.

@nixCraft I still have to keep Windows (10) around for some things, but I cut off all updates right before they rolled out the Copilot crap. I'm a bit worried about the potential problems from lack of updates, but I'm 1,000,000x more worried about the potential problems from updates... I've had some pains trying to switch to Linux (particularly in gaming) but have mostly managed to finally completely switch over just in time though. Congratulations MS on chasing away even hardcore gamers.
@nixCraft yeah, only think I'm sure, is that it will be used for reselling very precise data about users. They just want excuse to hoard it in such a scale.
@nixCraft sooo I guess if someone wants to visit “a corn site”, the incognito feature on the browser is useless because Recall will make your so called “data visualisation” searchable.
Thats will makes your PC/stuff show ads about what you saw, because there will have a lot advertiser money for that info!
So I guess some folks will need a separate device, with a separate Msft identity just to be sure they can look at corn and be sure it’s stay private.
@nixCraft, fsck that. Did Nadella consider the privacy implications? MS forcing accounts, telemetry, and now screenshots of the desktop to teach AI to build literally a interest profile of the user. This is all a bridge to far for me. Great for additional ad-revenue on a paid software (or is it service now?).
Granted, only a couple of my straggler PCs run Windows 10, but yea, not moving to Windows 11.
I'll straight up pull a Cooper Howard on every person responsible for this in the apocalyptic wasteland when it comes.
I'm not a violent person, but this fucker has the AUDACITY to sit there and fucking LIE to me because he thinks I'm too stupid to realize it. dude needs a reality adjustment with a sock full of oranges.
@nixCraft Even if it is local to your device at launch, there's absolutely no way it's going to stay that way. They'll be offering a service to "back up your PC's memories to the cloud" soon enough.
@nixCraft All these features are just making us humans more and more dumber. It shouldn't be a struggle to remember what you did. No thanks, I will just uninstall windows or just opt-out if I can.....
@nixCraft Linux had a similar feature years ago. It was designed to track everything you did, so you could find "That document I was editing last Tuesday" or "The music I was listening to while coding that application" and all manner of other complex searches. It was shipped by default in multiple distros. I don't think it took screenshots, but it gathered a hell of a lot of useful, searchable data.
