Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

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] is this some features tied to Copilot+ and its hardware limitations (crazy performant NPU), or is it always-on and if you have the hardware capabilities, Copliot+ will make use of it. The solution for the former is simple, do not buy any PC compatible with Copilot+, if it is the latter, going for another OS is the only sane option.
