Oh, you’re saying that Recall is a privacy nightmare and a sweet target for malware? Surprised_pikachu.jpg
This has already been happening on the Web for quite some time. For example Microsoft Clarity records everything you do on those dodgy Web sites you visit. And they assign a universal identifier to you that can be correlated with the IDs Google and your device have already created and broadcast to profile you.
And you think “oh but I use x, y, and z to prevent tracking”. Guess what: They make your browser do nonsense tasks in the background to benchmark your hardware and then assign a UUID to you based on that.
The only thing that can help this situation is privacy legislation with real teeth.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds?
And Saint Ignucious, RMS, of course.
This software is a security nightmare for any government that uses Windows. Absolutely no one is going to trust their nation’s security to an operating system with such a blatant backdoor built into it.
I can’t imagine why the windows 11 market share is dropping.
I am dreading the day my company makes me “upgrade” my windows 10 laptop to 11. I really hope they’re paying for legacy support for 10.
I right click, soooooo often when managing files at my job. I’m going to pull out my hair if I can’t change the “see more” behaviour.
Also, I’m a top taskbar user (that’s where programs put their tabs, it just makes sense!)
I don’t know how they could fuck up windows this badly.
Is it? Even if it is, it’s probably dropping in favour of win10, rather than Linux.
Like others have mentioned it is dropping in favor of 10 but some who are knowledgeable are moving to Linux as well. Corporations are looking into shifting to alternatives (Linux) as windows 10 loses support… and becomes very expensive per user to keep after Microsoft drops it.
Why would they ever stop with their ridiculous bullshit? As far as I can tell they get no pushback from users because the masses just roll blissfully along, and the tech-knowledgeable who still use Windows just find out how to disable the things they don’t like, shrug, and move along.
It’s really clear by now that you are nothing but a datamine for MS if you are a home user, right?
Obviously there’s a similar tool which is open source cross platform and available for years: https://github.com/dynobo/normcap Just in case sb liked the idea. This doesn’t automatically ruh on your computer, if I understood it correctly.

For anyone who still wants to use W11 but with its crap ripped out, ReviOS is your saviour.
