Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies. #privacy #security

@[email protected] Well, many people will just say that they have nothing to hide.....
Totally ignorant of everything they do hide.

@[email protected] I don't really use windows at all but I understand that if you want to run certain games with anticheat then you have no choice. It would be better to tell people how to hobble it.

@[email protected] so if I understand correctly, it's opt-in (not running by default), but can't be uninstalled
Which I think is very microsoft. Tons of stuff on windows can't be uninstalled

(Like, I agree linux is better, but I don't think recall changes anything if it's how microsoft say it works. Ofc if they're lying it's something else)
