Microsoft is REALLY trying their hardest to get me to move over to Linux
Hey, if a PC comes with Windows as it's OS, would I be able to permanently delete it somehow & have the PC ONLY boot with Linux someway?
Is there a tutorial on this? I've seen a little bit of this & I seen it kinda done with downloading file.images of the OS?
@@JohnDoe-iv5nsYes, you're free to install almost any OS you like on your PC drive. Look for a guide on how to download and create a bootable Linux distro USB.
@@JohnDoe-iv5ns yes you can, unless they lock the bios. Just flash the ISO to flash drive using etcher or rufus. There's tons of tutorial on youtube you can follow
@@JohnDoe-iv5ns this is absolutely doable. On some machines you need to change a setting in the BIOS to allow booting from a USB stick - you'll need to do this just once so that you can install Linux. Linus Tech Tips did a video on this a couple of years ago - search for LTT "Install Linux instead of Windows 11 - Here's how!". They show how to install PopOS as a replacement for Windows 11. I currently have it installed on 2 machines at home - one that my dad uses for web browsing and Zoom calls and one that I use for playing games.
Hey John, yeah, you can do that. You can either get rid of Windows or have both Windows and Linux running at the same time. If you wanna delete Windows, you'll need a USB stick and put a Linux OS on it, then run it, and stuff. I'd suggest checking out some RUclips videos on how to install Linux on a PC. Just remember to choose the option to wipe your hard drive during the process.
You ask me if you have more questions
Be mindful of the language used: "Stored locally". Well, by default on Windows 11, users' Documents and Pictures folders are also 'Stored Locally' -- while _at the same time_ being mirrored to Microsoft's OneDrive servers. Just because data is stored locally doesn't mean it isn't _also_ being mirrored elsewhere.
I used Windows Hello facial recognition on my Surface Pro thinking the biometric data would be stored locally, like on the TPM like how Touch ID data is stored on T2 chips on Macs. I was wrong. My Surface happened to not be connected to the internet when I turned it on, and it showed an error stating that I can't use Windows Hello because it wasn't connected to the internet. I'm just confused whether this is just for verification purposes, or are my biometrics stored somewhere else...
Stored locally, on occasion.
@@AArch64_Gamer all telemetry gets packed and sent, to include temporal mouse tracks and keylogs. Several of the many telemetry servers built in to windows resolve to IPs in ranges owned by certain alphabet agencies ... 🧐
"disable" until you do a update and gets re-enabled. With the windows hosts file calling home all the time, even though you're storing the "Recall" locally, it's still a risk.
Ditto. MS does not respect user settings.
Also disable does not really mean disable, locally does not really mean locally and so on. Never trust them.
Microsoft is abusive. It can't be trusted.
@@Slugbunny And yet, people keep whining about people who won't "upgrade" as if upgrades are a "good" thing. 🙄 Even _updates_ aren't good, every update that fixes a bug, creates 10 more vulnerabilities. 😒
At least Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 doesn't have Copilot. If I ever had to use Windows 11 that's the edition I would install.
I would still call it Spyware BECAUSE, windows by default has everything backed up to "OneDrive", which means all those screenshots will be there as well.
Microsoft is Linux's best salesman to this day.
_Linux is looking more attractive every day. Things are getting overwhelmingly Orwellian._
*_It's unbelievable!_*
TAILS is a good choice too.
@@realorfake4765it depends on goal. Any distro should be fine. However ..
if you want a super secure system, use QubesOS;
if you just want to absolutely learn GNU/Linux, do the LFS project;
if you use Android Studio, use BBQ Linux;
If you want to use the latest commits for bleeding edge sw, use a Fedora spin;
Ad nauseum.. 🤔
The one thing Microsoft got right was the name “recall”, cause after the lawyers get it, and a class action gets filed, thats what they will need to do, recall it.
3 trillion dollar company, what makes you think microsoft cant just buy their way through lawyers? I think worst will happen to them, is gov giving them a few mil fines and they will just be business as usual. "If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for poor people" Thats what they have done for decades, and thats why we are in this situation in the first place. How many times they broke the law and just paid a fine? The solution is to just stop using it, but sadly people have a bit of a duopoly on their hands. If u need special software, its either microsoft or apple and thats it. For gaming, linux has become a reasonable option, but even the gaming still has a lot of issues... Its a dire situation
Windows is not secure hence the constant updates, would not surprise me in the least if the local ai could be remotely pinged by ms and queried without a search warrant or something.
And each update that fixes a bug creates a slew of NEW ZERO-DAYS to be found and exploited. Microsoft is worse than ever. (But then, _everything_ is worse than ever; every job is unreliable these days.)
@@I.____.....__...__ Yea, sad thing about jobs. Freelancing is exhausting.
The bit about Samsung becoming absolutely draconian went by real fast. Should be given more emphasis, I think - that's an insane deal to make at the expense of the customer and user.
The part about third-party repair places being required to "immediately disassemble" phones they find aftermarket-parts (ie, abet Samsung VANDALIZING/STEALING people's phones) is absolutely unhinged. There's NO way this will be tolerated and will definitely be shut down by courts… eventually. 😒
This caused me to move over to linux after a decade of procrastinating. Microsoft has lost it completely.
ms has always been the enemy
“Windows 10: a more human way to do.”
That was actually the motto of this operating system. Funny how they scrubbed that away from searches as of recent.
How exactly does Microsoft expect this to be used in corporate or government applications, where trade secret or classified information are a thing? Do they understand that there are people out there, who have signed NDAs or are legally obligated to know exactly where their clients' personal information are stored and how at all times? What are these businesses or government agencies supposed to do? Switch to Linux? This does not feel like a feasible businness strategy.
Also, what exact miracles is that "AI" (Is it even proper AI?) doing with all this information that would compensate such a breach of privacy?
But Ai you know lol - I agree
Basically any user that has propitiatory information on the device.
@@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse could you ... imagine ... they might be remotely interested in that sort of data?
They won't provide this feature to corporate or government offices, they'll provide a dedicated version of Windows for them that doesn't include it which costs a lot more than for consumers, just like they always have. Or, more likely, they'll provide them with a group-policy setting to disable it, but it will only work with a "professional" version of Windows and be ignored on Home editions, again like they always have.
DRM doesn't work on Recall. So I can see governments issuing special content certificates for everything they handle, or switching to Linux if they can't, like China who started moving out a couple years ago
5:52 it shows their prio is on not getting sued by those DRM owners. They're protecting themselves, not the DRM owners, as they (claim to) keep the recorded data on the device and don't share or analyse it.
As a company in tech however, I would not be using win11 as an OS anymore after the introduction of recall. Think about it. All your trade secrets screenshot.
Or any bank and government agency for that matter. If you work in such companies, you are often required to sign some kind of NDA or legally required to always know where and how are the private data of your clients stored and you have personal responsibility for keeping them secret. How are you supposed to do with this feature constantly creating screenshots of your work?
@@CZpersiYes, FERPA and HIPAA were the first that popped up in my mind.
@@CZpersi Enterprise versions of Windows which don't have any bloat or telemetry, as is already the case with government and large megacorp versions. Only available to them, of course, not average consumers or small businesses.
and microsoft even in 80s has been known for being the one that pirated code, and i dont mean the harmless download for free from internet on somehting wont buy anyway piracy, but rather the steal other peaoples code and sell it as own and make billions while atual creator goes hungry. microsoft even in the beggining been evil.
30:36 I noticed the change in Tuta logo but no way I would've imagined that was a switch.
I would not believe a word that people at Microsoft are promising us! I have started to learn a new OS....LINUX! After Win 10 I am off to Linux.
Feature made for the state marketed as a user feature really good plan this will have no foreseeable blow back from user disgust.
"MS and Windows couldn't *possibly* suck worse!"
MS - hold my beer
Can believe I say this but Microsoft make China and North Korea look so wise when they switching their government computers to use FOSS years ago.
Even while I was still using Windows, I used WinAeroTweaker to disable almost everything. I loathe mandatory automatic updates. If they are "for your security", why do Windows Pro users have the ability to delay them? So I just fully disabled them and only enabled when I wanted to update.
Also, Microsoft did mention some kind of opt out for Recall, but how that will work is unknown...
Each update that fixes a bug creates 10 new bugs. 😒 Most of Windows 7's bugs that are easy to find have been found and fixed; remaining bugs require too much effort to find for it to be practical to hackers to bother with (old systems like ATMs and such that are worth hacking which still use old Windows usually use XP, not 7). Windows 10+ are constantly creating NEW ZERO-DAYS that are worth tons of money to find and exploit.
This violates my NDA, I can no longer use Windows for work.
Recall is a huge security hole...
Speaking as a retired 15 yr MSFT Redmond 'survivor' (actually it's a very good place on the overall to work at) I can easily imagine how something like (Total) Recall came to life inside the Campus.
But I'm very disappointed that it managed to make a major product announcement. Remember Redmond works in silos, despite any rhetoric. That's always been the inside culture. Basically if someone in one with sufficient internal political weight wanted Recall and that's about it.
For example, if you have a Distinguished Tech Fellow (or whatever the latest title is) and at least a Corp VP level person really wanting something new plus the internal dev builds (of say a Recall) not breaking the Main Build Tree then that feature usually makes the final distributions.
It is (used to be) that simple. There will be all sorts of internal review procedures & discussions, but when someone high enough up the management chain wants it (say Recall) then "it is a pretty good career move not to oppose it".
Microsoft work culture sounds really toxic
@@user-bt5xp1gi6e Redmond is a magnet for alpha-personality types. Many are overqualified for what they do while the work benefits are good (used to be better). 'Toxic'? Oh yes! If you can't navigate inter-office politics you'll be gone in a year or 2.
Good job! Thanks a lot! :)
Microsoft can record me downloading linux and flashing a usb stick to install linux 😂😂😂😂😂
That's 😂! It reminds me of a joke we used to say long time ago that the only use for Explorer (now Edge) is to download Firefox. 😉I used to do that a lot.
More like a keylogger as it takes a snapshot of the system and a screenshot, so if you have a password manager open... Say good bye to you're PC and data. Also ChatGPT is not local and info has to be sent to it so it can process it. Another problem is BitLocker and TPM 2.0+ can easily be bypassed in minutes using a rasperry Pi pico board. MS was breeched only recently by the Chinese and all its Cloud based storage and Db servers comprimised, as the U.S government just gave them a bi telling off.
Wait... maybe Microsoft's next great idea: "Our new cloud will be your machine. We'll share random people's data on your pc to save you money. Microsoft... bringing data home."
i guess it’ll be a 128gb hard drive for me if i go to windows 11
whats to say it isent enabled server side and not told? like if it was ONLY client-side and could change the times, like having a recall of last hour could be usefull when resraching and accidenrlt lcose some website adn the history is messed up or its not showing. but it will be just as horrable goign thugh history and own memory as it will be to go thugh 3 months of data! its just excuse to spy and start requiring stupid phone number for all accounts WHICH CAUSES ME TO LOOSE MY ACCOUNTS!
Subbed! Good work
This isn't strictly a privacy thing, but laptops with a graphics card are already ready to run an AI model. Idk, to me it looks like microsoft just wants to justify upgraded devices to their consumers. With how heavy handed they are with their "advertising" these days, i wouldn't be surprised if they start heavily pushing copilot+ PCs in windows 11.
Gotta love it when you pay 100 bucks to get glorified billboard software in your home.
Im on Linux already, Arch is good, I switched earlier this month, and glad I did before Microsoft announced that Recall feature.
I hope you know your way around Arch. I'd hate to see another "Linux sux" user. Many people just try one distro, one DM and one WM and say that when something doesn't work. Arch is pretty hard for a beginner, but maybe you are not a beginner? 😉 Good luck either way, and cheers! 🤘 Oh, I'm on Debian since 2013. Tried Mint, Ubuntu, Slackware and decided Debian+Mate (now using Gnome Flashback) is the way.
The recall thing is so crazy, nobody asked for this. The only use case I can see for this is for business office employees, or for students at school computers who aren't there to do anything personal, but to like, write an essay, and use it essentially as a way to have save backups of work, and to have a record of the work process to hopefully help to surveil the abuse of GenAI in schools.
That's a decently valid use case, I would think.
exept it would only need to log that one hour a day for each class,, not dang 3 months FFS.
Not sure if Microsoft is feeling extremely confident or extremely desperate about their monopoly. Maximum overreach either way.
Microsoft is a company that chases trends and they want to profit from the AI bubble as much as possible. Recall is just a gimmick to attract users, specially from Apple with their ARM efforts.
Their monopoly is not really so serious these days as it used to be 10 or so years ago. I rememver when it was ~90%! Now more like 65... a lot of people went MacOS and a bit less Linux. But things are moving...
But why would anyone want or need recall at all?
Linux searches have spiked since this was announced.
Not just searches. I am seeding quite a lot of GNU/Linux ISO images over torrent and there are about 3-times as much uploads then before.
I've passed the Tuta link on Twitter. I do appreciate the work.
This was the last straw for me. I'm going to start learning linux and as soon as i get one sufficiently set up, im taking my windows 10 computer offline just because i have an offline game on there i want to still play in the future.
Arm yourself with a small flash drive, small external drive for experimenting with various distros, Rufus and some ISOs. When I started in 2013 I tried Mint Debian Edition, Ubuntu and Debian stable. Stayed with Debian. Tried Xfce, LXDE and MATE desktops, stayed with MATE and now Gnome Flashback (very similar, just Gnome is better nowadays). Interesting thing: I'm still using the same Debian OS I installed 11 years ago, but on a different PC and 3rd disk drive so far. It just kept working after upgrades so I didn't bother, so I went from 7>8>9>10>11 and last year 12. it is easy to upgrade the OS. It's a short one liner in terminal and some sources file editing. I have never, ever had the same OS on my computer for more than a couple of years on my computer before Debian! Windows XP probably the longest. W7 about 2 or 3 years.
Thank you
Is that new intro music? Super dramatic! Love it
Apparently they were stored in a section, not deleted by the reset phone feature? Not sure if that is true, but it's definitely possible if they don't actually wipe the user partition.
windows is the secondary, maybe tertiary os i will run ever since the copilot malware was pushed through to the os. unless there is a game that is hands down impossible to run on a linux distro, i won't be returning. Linux distros have come a LONG way and are perfectly suitable for an average user now.
DRM vs CC is about legalities. It tells us the gray area for their legal department to work on. Solution is to file a law suit to make the gray area black and white.
Regarding Recall's thing taking screenshots of everything, I think the way they phrased it leads to misinterpretation. If I were to hazard a guess I'd say it only excludes DRM protected video and InPrivate Edge sessions because of the way those things are already, one can't take screenshots or video recordings of protected video playback (they'd turn out all black) and Edge incognito windows surely expose an flag / API to indicate the private nature of it, like what happens in Android for example (although some 3rd party ROMs allow for bypassing the restriction, it's not commonplace).
What I mean to say is, since their stance as of now is not to do any processing on what gets screenshotted, those would be the only things that are excluded. If they added postproc to the screenshot taking part, I wonder how much compute would be needed to prevent credentials and the like from being captured. From what I read, AI PCs have a minimum of 40 TOPS requirement for those NPUs and to my knowledge neither Intel nor AMD have offerings capable of that, so it'd only be for those Qualcomm/Nuvia ARM SoCs (still, someone already played with the thing to have it enabled on regular machines, so who knows what's what...).
In any case, I'm skeptical of the utility of Recall, perhaps its misgivings about the privacy of it all, one could say I have trust issues when it comes to large corporations haha. I did like Windows' Timeline when it was working properly, I had used it in the past at times to go back to something I was working on, or search through activities, but they killed it. Same for Zeitgeist on Linux, man I loved that stuff, it wasn't integrated in many things, but having a timeline of what I was doing was super useful to me, but it didn't take; for some reason people weren't interested, or devs didn't delve in supporting it in their software, who knows.
I think those things had a lot of potential to be honest, and didn't need AI to make them useful. Sure, if we take assistant-like features a modes degree of machine learning is useful, at least when it comes to natural language processing, but it seems to me people weren't interested in having proper assistance in their compute life. Even Cortana was useful at some point, I wonder how things would be if they worked were well integrated.
I wouldn't mind an ARM-based laptop but I'd want to use the NPU for what I want to use it for and not for what Micro$oft wants to use it for. Copilot+ can go in the recycle bin and it will be immediately emptied.
That's just it, Intel is definitely going to try to fight this move away from x86 that Microsoft wants to do, so Intel will likely do some sort of secret smear-campaign (not that it's exactly hard to smear "Recall" 😒).
@@I.____.....__...__soo.... intel is against the recall idea... right? just wanted a clear answer
I switched to Linux right after Windows 10 came out. The reason for the switch is that while using Windows 10, I was in an economics class. The computer would lock up and after rebooting the computer the spreadsheet I was working on for the class would be gone, along with other files. So I switched to Linux and have tried several different distributions of Linux. For new comers I suggest using Linux Mint, I using Ubuntu Mate and I'm very happy with it. I do have a Windows 10 that I ude for programs that I need to use that don't run on Linux. My main computer is a Linux computer and will always be. For anyone wanting to try it buy a cheap computer and give it a go.
Get well soon Henry
WindowsXLite, ChrisTitus WinUtil, O&O Shutp10, switching to Linux are the way to go
I heard more then once that Linux is for red-eyed geeks. Now I'm looking at the amount of effort needed to de-shittify Windows, and I'm wondering, which of the popular operation systems really deserves that honorable "red eyes" award. Especially taking into account that one needs to repeat de-shittifying routines or update them every time Microsoft reverts their settings.
17:15 The description for iOS 17.5.1 claims that the stored images that wasn’t deleted was a very rare problem. The excuse is that it happened due to a broken database for some images.
The expected vague no answer response to avoid lawsuits.
I moved to linux because of recall
I’m surprised they wouldn’t use ssh to store that data instead of storing it on your pc.
Windows Recall requires a Copilot+ machine to run, as it requires Snapdragon X CPUs. This is due to the number of NPUs (Neural Processing Units) required to run it. You also have to enable Recall and partition the storage space needed, thus only those who do not care about security or are uneducated will use this.
Switching to Linux would be a great option, although the average Windows user does not have the technical skills to keep their system updated. This will create the same massive problem with malware and zombie machines that Windows Windows XP and earlier versions had.
If it becomes mandatory on all windows pc's, since it's just a folder containing screenshots, you could just write a script that deletes the contents of the folder once every 5 minutes. Or even everytime a file is created there.
Speaking of the metadata in WhatsApp, we need to be able to pad and alter the size of each message so there is no precise metadata.
Lyca Mobile was already comprimised November 2023, There are some forum posts in the UK about this.
I’ve used MS Windows since 3.11 in 1994. Got my MCSE & MCSA certs in 2000. Windows entropy has driven me to Apple. MacBook. I’ve also loaded Linux on my old MS laptops.
I just realised that it will be harvesting info even about people who have no win 11 as well. Every conversation between someone who is on Win 11 will be recorded, so everything you said to someone lets say on discord, or on redit, will be recorded on their PC, every picture u are on on their pc, every video u are in, instagrams and all that stuff. this is beyond ridiculous.
Microsoft should do a super stripped down version of Windows now that would be an upgrade, let people install what they actually need.
Companies doing things like this should be legally bound to provide the following:
Allow easy and complete uninstall of this "feature"
Allow fully disabling the feature
never overwrite the configuration the user did
never ask if the user wants to enable it again
this feature has to stay opt in forever without any chance to change this
this and similar spyware is only installed after the user has been informed about every detail of this software and has specifically agreed to install this "feature" and yes the user must have the option to decline installation!
They should also simply sell the OS and leave it yours. 😆
Switching to GNU/Linux years ago was really one of the smartest things I did. Windows has since then become worse and worse and is nowadays only a bloated spyware and adware. Best to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Except for specialty software only made for windows and that does not play well on Linux: you only use Windows 11 for that. If it does not require internet access, keep Windows 10. But for everything else, there is a parallel or way to get the software to work on Linux and you can comfortably adapt given how friendly a lot of Linux Distros are to newbies.
No forced ( Recall) ( Bit Locker) ( MS User Account) as soon a Zorin will fully support steam, I will dump windows. Thx for sharing Good Luck
They are already pushing the copilot with Edge and if your like me who deletes Edges main files (since you can't uninstall it) it will lock your other browsers out of the internet. Luckily (for now) you can uninstall the edge copilot then a quick restart and your other web browsers work again.
Recall is unimpressive. What we need is Precall- AI searchable screenshots of things you're GOING to do on your PC. Now THAT'S innovation.
I don't have the space for the Windows 'feature' on my 128GB C partation
Its the same on any electronic device (even broken ones) the data is still there unless you overwrite it, why would anybody expect Apple to be any different?The only way to restrict the data would be to encrypt it to said devices on the account with associated local held key.
Obligatory: "Henry is never there!!11!"
Just kidding. Best wishes for him!
the only way for me to even consider windows 11 at this point is if they fully open source it. Unless they do that, i'll switch to zorin os after windows 10 support ends
Copilot PC + is the new Arm based laptops… with NPU’s with 40 TOPS
This is one reason why i reverted back to windows 10. Sure it might dead in a year but it's still more secure than windows 11.
I hope they will end up rolling it back after enough people complain.
no, if you read the text as is you will understand that they are not sending te pictures anywhere but they never mentioned the data.
here's my take on that... they will get the AI to analyze the pictures and produce a summary of what they see and it's that summary that will be sent.
What about the story where it was claimed the device had been reset? Shortly stuff shouldn’t be in the file system after a wipe?
I believe if you were to select "wipe all content and settings" in IOS, it just deletes user data instead of wiping the whole file system and downloading IOS and reinstalling. This is probably why it's such a quick process. That's why everytime I reset an Apple device, I either erase Mac, or do a DFU restore, essentially wiping the hard drive and then reimaging the OS onto the device.
The more data is collected the more data is put on risk.
🌟🌟I am on linux 2 years🌟🌟
I really hope the FTC, FCC and the European Union can really do something about this.
I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. ..but your kids are gonna love it.
The main reason I have windows is because some games don't work on Linux..... If that were no longer the case I would stop using Windows
Could these companies stop adding AI to everything holy crap the level of greed for power and money is astronomical
I bet they would sell their customers' souls in a heartbeat

Use Linux as your OS and play the games in a virtual machine windows (or use it as a secondary OS to choose upon boot)
I use Linux and absolutely all games is working, this 10year old story that games not work on Linux is not true anymore
@@FatalRedBlood It's still sort of true, multiplayer games with anticheats sometimes don't work, and some games have worse stability.
Maybe Apple was storing thumbnails or something. Unless this is the "revert copy" for edits.
I have this question for people who are not even trying to dump Win: Are you stupid?!
Time to go full Linux, MS is way out of boundaries, bastards!!!
Does Microsoft use Windows to program? I smell Linux, haha

So my Banking App wants to use facial biomrtrics using the basic camera.
Since it appears as though it requires specialized hardware to function, just give manufacturers that produce such machines the middle finger.🤔

edit: i use nobara btw 🤓
The explanation about the iPhone thing doesn't make sense, or at least isn't a complete explanation. Some people said they had the re-appearing-image issue on NEW phones. Also, how is it that the storage wasn't filled up after several years, did those people have large phones with lots of space and rarely take photos or videos to write to it? 🤨
I've had situations in Windows where a file was accidentally deleted, then I immediately pulled the plug to prevent ANY writes (hopefully even preventing the erasure to write to the disk at all), but STILL have it already overwritten. iPhones won't overwrite freed space for YEARS? They should probably tout that as a selling-point: "ultimate data-recovery". 😒
it's so funny that Zoom is getting better encryption vs the others who are not Chinese owned; who'd have guessed how the tables are turning, so bizarre; though they have tiktok but still lol
lol recall does somthing similar
Oh no, someone might find out I wrote "remember to mow lawn" in wordpad 5 years ago! 😱
Clearly you don't understand the gravity of the problem.
@@EffectualPoet Exactly, not much gravity there.
I uninstalled Drive as well. So this feature should not at all show up or be abled to delete and uninstall permanently.
"This New Windows Feature is SPYWARE!" - You Think ???????
one drive stealing your data and erasing it if you want to delete files in one drive was not bad enough I guess.
Impossible!
Co-pilot plus needs to go
recall should be uninstalled by diefault
I know just what to do, I will just get 1 TB one drive subscription and get hacked this becoming the ouroboros
You've not explained how this 'record' feature would be of any use to the user, or at least how Microsoft proposes it will be of use. Never in my life have I wanted to go back and 'remember' all the tiny little unimportant actions I've done throughout the day on my computer. On the other hand, on a Mac, Time Machine, which records files as they were at specific periods of time is useful in case a file becomes corrupt, users can go back to an earlier state before the file became corrupt. But how in the world will recording the minutiae of unimportant activity (including recording passwords such as banking passwords ... how will this benefit the user?). Obviously if this is a "feature" that can't be turned off, there would be a mass exit of PC users. No one in their right mind would agree to activating such a feature (if it actually records everything that you've described).
Let them push what they want I’m off to Linux 👍 downloaded it last night and now ready to make the move, I have a separate pc for games and steam but my daily driver will now be Linux Microsoft can go do one the dodgyist company out there
DFW!!!!
👍
Bitlocker on consumer PC's? Yuk!
O&O s h u t u p 10 is a must on windows
Yup. It's been great for re-settting settings Microsoft re-enables and introduces with updates. Plus it's all in one place unlike the horrible Windows UI.
Don't repeat everyone verbatim. Do your own research. Of course you can disable it. Cache indexes actually speed up search way more. It is embeddings the images in a local database, and you can delete any image you want to. It avoids passwords as best as possible, but if your website/app does not mark it as a password field, and you show the password, then it may store it.
