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] 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)
