      Your acceptance and submission to corporations only further enables these companies to keep getting worse.

      Even if it's simply never used by companies it's still horrible. This is going to end up capturing passwords, security questions, credit card data and social security numbers. Even if it isn't storing them in plaintext, it's still one single repository for all of this sensitive data.

    There is a big issue with the "you can just turn it off" argument. In the past Microsoft has been known to turn this stuff back on every time windows updates and not tell you, so I do not trust it to stay off if I turn it off. Also there is absolutely no way that Microsoft is not going to use this to spy on users if not at first then they will sneak that in later at some point.
    Windows 7 was great and I have not wanted anything that Microsoft has done since and I am getting tried of being forced to accept new "features" that I do not want every few years. Shit like this is why I am making an attempt to switch to Linux. I have been using Manjaro with KDE desktop on my laptop now for about 2 months and it has been pretty great. After about a week of setting it up and configuring things I was able to get it to do everything just as well as windows did or better, like search actually works in linux, lol. Unfortunately it will be way harder for me to switch over my desktop mainly because of games. Although linux game support has improved massively since the steam deck, it is still a ways behind windows. Still I have been really impressed with how solid Manjaro + KDE is nowadays, have tried a other distros in the past, but I usually had a ton of strange little issues with them that would push me to go back to windows after a bit, but for the most part with Manjaro + KDE has just worked about the same as windows would. Even the out of the box functionality was pretty good, most of the setup was just getting little things in the KDE desktop configured just the way I wanted them.

      I mean microsoft literally made a version of windows that runs on Linux they are actively working on last time I checked. So yes, they want you using ubuntu or mint or whatever and get familiar with the OS so they can eventually drop windows NT entirely without the average user getting confused and mad/frustrated.
      Why do you think the richest company in the world is making all these bad decisions? They want to kill windows, steal your data and get lots of money from it because windows is using an extremely outdated file journaling system that is obsolete. This is known as NTFS. Why do you think servers run on linux instead of paying microsoft a bunch of money? It's because Linux flat out runs better and microsoft can't keep up.
      So they want a linux windows system where they say "we're sorry we made so many mistakes in the past, we are reversing our decisions" to boost their reputation. When in reality they want that sweet sweet linux EX4 file journaling system that every server on the planet right now uses. And the best part? You don't have to pay people to maintain this file system, as a team of developers already does that so that Linux systems can stay up to date. Saving them millions of dollars, as they can lay off countless teams of programmers or put them on the main windows projects. Why bother using your own file system when you can use someone else's hard work and just have to credit them somewhere in terms of service on page 500.

      Without Recall that would also be happening. Recall is terrible and at this point I believe that Microsoft has never heard of the term "Data Privacy"... but scammers stealing data from PC's will not get easier because of Recall. Scammers will get what they want, if the victim is in the unknown.

    If the recall stuff is truly all local, then it's not too bad, but also not great. I'm wondering about what I haven't heard mentioned, multi-user systems. If user A turns recall on, and user B doesn't know about it, would user A now be able to see everything user B does on the computer?
    Regardless, I do kind of want one of these, but not for recall. The feature I'm interested in is the live captioning and translation. If this makes it so I can generate subtitles for foreign language video that no one has translated, then I'm sold.

  • @gerowen
    @gerowen Před 13 dny +1

    4:16 I have two concerns:
    1) It'll be on by default and even if users go out of their way to disable it, it'll magically re-enable itself without notice or consent with a Windows update.
    2) They can say "encrypted" all they want, but encrypted data still has to be accessed at runtime to be useful. If you can call up your recall screenshots while you're logged in, then so can a piece of malware running on your system.
    This means that somebody who doesn't know the feature is running in the first place could theoretically contract some malware that can then steal screenshots of their online banking session or other sensitive information. This could be especially dangerous on public machines like a library or internet cafe.

  • @zerrubabbel
    @zerrubabbel Před 24 dny +3

    I understand that you understand, Austin... but this is still one more log on the fire of reasons why I can't follow Windows down the path it's going.
    Ending Windows 10 support, more and more telemetry, Pre-existing concerns with Copilot, Ads being stuffed in any corner they can, Discontinuation of local accounts, Bitlocker being enabled by default... I'm just not on board with these trends.
    And even if Recall does happen locally, what's really to stop Microsoft from grabbing snapshots of Recall if they want to... They already have Bitlocker keys stored on their servers.
    Even if I try to see things from another perspective, I always end up at the conclusion that Microsoft is trying to change the desktop paradigm to something far less private, and far less user friendly.

    I don't see how Recall is any better than the programs already in place. Things like office apps have auto save, there is also history to search. If anything even if it is secure, it takes up space and likely system resources to snapshot, this is just a collection of data asking to be stolen if anyone gets access to a system.
    I better version I think would be virtualization, similar to Virtual machines, with save states, being able to spin up an OS instance would be nice.

      exactly! office products already have temporary saves for when you need to go back to a document and browsers have had history, favourites, startup where you left off etc. since forever. something as simple as a program that connects those things for someone who suffers from finding dory level of memory loss is a lot more useful than asking a chatbot to filter through screenshots
