This is exactly why I’m, if possible, wanting to remove the WiFi card from my desktop. Hopefully no way for macrohard to force install win11 if I do that and use that one utility that disables automatic updates. Pretty sure if I did this early enough I’d hopefully be safe. Doesn’t make a huge difference when I’m hopefully gonna be updating my desktop before this all goes down, but probably still a good thing to do just in case (especially since I don’t have plans of getting rid of my current desktop).

Microsoft Recall is a bad idea with tremendously and insanely amateuristic and shit implementation
The Windows 11 migration is mandatory, and there is no lube. They’ll gradually lower the tech requirements as it approaches to minimize people looking for alternatives.
But make no mistake, Microsoft is asserting the leverage of its market share for full enshittification. Linux or Mac or eat the shit they’re giving you.
They’re gonna do the most to get people to use Windows 11, but they really dropped the ball with the ads, surveillance, and how shitty it’s become the past few years.
The only way it could possibly censor sensitive information is if it captured it in the first place and then determined that it was in a sensitive category and then censored it. Recall still has to capture it first to make that determination.
I don’t understand why this isn’t everyone’s immediate thought after hearing Microsoft say their system would censor sensitive information. How could it possibly know what to censor without reading it first? Of course it’s going to invade your privacy, and then maybe they’ll selectively delete some of it when you ask them to.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it all gets uploaded to cloud storage first, and then the “sensitive” stuff gets deleted from the local storage only.
