Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.
Microsoft: there won’t be bugs
You have to be truly an idiot these days to still be using Windows.
Or you’re at work, or you need to collaborate with people who use Windows-only software. Or you bought a computer and it came with Windows, and you don’t know about installing other operating systems.
I hate that argument so much. It’s like picturing me incapable of choosing a car because I know nothing about them.
“Why did you buy that garbage?” “It was the first vehicle at the first car dealer I found.”
If you go to different car dealers you find many different cars so you have to look into their pros and cons before choosing one. If you go to different computer shops you find Windows computers, Macs and Chromebooks. Macs are very expensive and Chromebooks are very limited, so you buy a Windows machine. People don’t even know what Linux is, and you can’t really blame them. They just want a machine to do everyday stuff with, and not to have to invest too much time or money in finding one.
In this analogy, no car dealer sells a Linux car and you’d have to rip out the engine yourself at home if you wanted one.
That’s the perceived barrier to entry.
Good luck changing OS on every user’s laptop in a Fortune500 organization to Linux and then managing policies for them.
Every year I’m happier and happier that I touch MS products only when paid to do so.
Same my only experience with windows (and w11) is at work (exception being my vr flight sim pc).
Is this a joke comment? Your experience is playing on MS OS, a flight sim which, assuming it’s the Flight Simulator, periodically sends data back and forth? on top of using it at work.
How happy are you to know your personal data is still going to be leaked because 90% of the services handling it are using MS Backdoor OS? If it’s not going to be your bank it will be your work, if not your work, then it will be your government, and there will be no consequences because “nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft®”™.
Man the first hackers to get their hands on that data are gonna get rich. Blackmail material, personal details, banking information, passwords, everything you could want.
Microsoft really cares about security
As long as it doesn’t get in the way of money
This this more of a byproduct of the design than anything.
Its almost like this was a bad idea to begin with.
