> Is such paranoia warranted? Millions of corporate laptops run Windows 11 just fine.

Yes. With Windows Recall data mining surveillance screenshots taken every 5-7 seconds, completely disregarding if this may compromise your security, safety or privacy, we move from "you're the product" to "you're a pet in a zoo, and we want to learn from your behavior."

> I know M$ is evil and spying on you, but not to such degree.*

I mean, they could be recording every second.

I'm pretty sure that's a bandwidth issue.

Not because they really feel like giving you 3-4 second pockets of security, safety and privacy.



I can't wait for the AI overlords to take ower. Maybe then we can finally be free from people spreading misinformation and fud.

Some of you people are just too far gone to turn off a setting.


Turn on. It's off by default. But people on HN, reddit and twitter are too stupid.


> It's off by default.

For now. This is Microsoft we’re talking about. Needing a Microsoft account to log in to Windows used to be optional.


I’m reminded of a checkbox titled “Don’t ask me next time” when logging into Microsoft Online that I am given the option to check every single time I log in.

My lack of trust in Microsoft (or Google) to keep my interest in mind is rooted in experience.

The problem is: once your organisation is so corrupt that they think of this shit, turning off bad ideas becomes a game of whack-a-mole.

Just say no to this kind of behaviour.


We don't trust them to not turn it back on later...
