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] It's a good thing Windows is not important to me. I'm on Mac for my entertainment needs and for everything else, I have my good ol stable Mint and Fedora.

@[email protected] True... this is why I treat my Windows machine as a terminal now.

Linux for everything else.
