So the next Windows is called “Windows 11 SpywareEdtion”

It’s all about how you word it. It’s not spyware, it’s enhancing user experience with feedback, giving users the most relevant results using telemetry and other smart features, and taking your computer to the next level!
Become totally part of the future, with Recall AI (Microsoft TM).

[x] Cross this to confirm you’ve read, understood and agreed to the above, including pending future changes to the terms and conditions. Do it. Now!
This will keep popping up unless you agree. So best to just agree now ;=)
Also as a favor, we’ve changed your default search engine to Bing for the most optimal results using Recall.
Keep pushing Windows fanboys! The path to absolute corporate dystopia is so close now! 🙂
In the very least the EU will probably force them to add an option to disable it if it isn’t already fully optional.
To be honest, I’d probably still use it if it saves me time, money and is convenient. If I can tweak it to let it have just the information I want it to have then that would be better.Â
I read the article about it and apparently it’s only coming to computers with a snapdragon X processor, which is only found in some modern laptops
How would this conflict with businesses that have privacy requirements, like medical offices?
And dingbats will still not change their OS.
Look, the only way to beat this & keep Windows is to set up a box to run non-stop & send them exabytes of horse porn or something to make the AI useless.
If you think they haven’t been doing this for years already you’ve got your head in the sand. They’re just admitting it now.
If you don’t like it all you have to do is disable it. But I’m sure people are gonna tell people that even though it’s completely optional, stored locally and encrypted to the user profile it’s still Microsoft somehow spying on everyone
They said its using a local model which means the data doesnt leave ur pc. I dont see how thats spying.
To use Recall on Windows, you’ll need a Copilot+ PC that supports 40 TOPs NPU, a Snapdragon X chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.
We should train these ai’s so they can learn my job quicker and replace me
Cool they’re gonna have a bunch of screenshots of me telling Microsoft to eat a dick and slurs
Heh, glad I switched to linux a few weeks ago. This is bullshit.
And I thought only the chinese were the ones into that idea of things spying on their own population. /s
It’s alright guys, it’ll be cool when Apple does it.
Oh, look… it’s “the future” again
