Microsoft is promoting Linux

The whole "Filter sensitive information" is a complete joke. How the world does Microsoft know what I consider sensitive info? Across dozens of different apps and profiles, there's just too much ambiguity.

The biggest issue I have with Recall is it's a hacker's gold mine. It's dangling a carrot for hackers. A zero-day exploit decrypting the data would sell for a ton. It's not a matter of if it will get decrypted, it's a matter of when.

We want less surveillance, not more.

Do you consent to Microsoft turning on recall for you? 1) Yes 2) Remind me in 3 days

This hits differently after hearing about the North Korean phone that was smuggled out of the country, it also happened to save screenshots of your phone regularly and store it in a secure folder on your phone only accessible by the North Korean government

As a software engineer I'll give 1 week or 2 to another hacker, ethical or not, discover another way of exploit this spyware.

By raise of hand, who asked for shitty, slow, bloated Windows with AI sprinkled on top?

WE DON'T NEED IT AND WE REALLY DON'T WANT IT

If Microsoft is never going to use any of this for themselves or to sell it to others, why are they pushing so hard to "fix" it and push it out to users despite the pushback?

"The AI will decide whether or not you're looking at sensitive data and then not record it." Cool, so "the AI" will still be able to see me start doing the sensitive stuff before it decides to - maybe - look away? Very trustworthy. What a dumpster fire of a feature, completely asinine to even consider putting this shit out there.

You need to always remember the biggest issue with Windows Recall: The fact that it even exists in the first place.

We don't need toggles to disable Recall. We need ways to fully uninstall it.

Meanwhile: Windows still has no address book and their standard email client has ads in the inbox. I'd rather overpay massively for a Mac or try to get used to Linux than ever again buying a Windows machine...

Recall's broad impact to everyone you interact with is just like the 23&me issue that Linus has brought up before. Just one person using it affects a large number of people who have not consented.

It is absolutely insane that the original Recall was implemented like that... Literally zero security?! People assumed it would be secure like the current implementation and yet still felt uneasy about it... This doesn't address the fundamental problem: it's a spyware tool that nobody asked for or wants, regardless of whether it's encrypted or not.

I don't think people are making enough of a deal about what you're saying at 13:00. Any communication with anyone can now be slurped up into these databases. Even if you are the single most secure person in the universe as long as you are communicating with another person then your information is likely being stored. This just makes it so much worse. I don't understand why businesses especially aren't pushing HARD against this. Letting a third party take screenshots and notes of everything that every one of your employees does on every computer constantly and just hoping that they keep that secure and don't do anything naughty with it. That doesn't sound safe.

I love how all our devices are turning into corporate spy machines under the guise of "AI"

As someone that used to work as an Apple call center tech. People share accounts a LOT. People leave things wide open. This is still a terrible idea.
