- In December, an investigation by Tom’s Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its “filter sensitive information” setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.
woah, what, i can’t believe it
Shocked!
They say you can disable Recall by keep pornhub videos running in foreground.
Sorry, boss, but this girl-on-girl playlist is to protect our sensitive data from Microsoft
You can also disable Recall by using a Linux distro
be more malicious run PH and various porn sites.
This is the highest-quality, shocked Pikachu I’ve ever seen.
Higher resolution but looks worse imo. Someone probably threw it in illustrator, used that auto vector tool or whatever and exported as high res without fixing the lines.
Or just used an auto-upscaler.
How is this possibly going to be tolerated in business environments?
My company is still on Windows 10 LT or whatever.
So, pay more it is.
In business environments this can help employers spy on their employees. That’s how, I guess.
Just a tip: if you must use consumer editions of Windows regularly, consider adding an automatic provisioning tool like AME to your workflow.
The example above uses customizable “playbooks” to provision a system the way docker compose would a container image, so it can fill the role of a VM snapshot or PXE in non-virtualized local-only scenarios.
The most popular playbooks strip out AI components and services (there are many more than just Recall) but also disable all telemetry and cloud-based features, replace MS bloatware with preferred OSS, curtail a truckload of annoying Windows behaviors, setup more sensible group policies than the defaults, and so forth.
I have a few custom playbooks for recurring use cases so that, when one presents, I can spin up an instance quickly without the usual hassle and risk.
This looks like useful stuff; thanks for sharing. I’m not on Windows myself any more, but this looks like info with passing on to those in my life who are.
This is really interesting! I’ve usually installed Winaero Tweaker back when I still used Windows, if I knew this existed I probably would’ve gone with this instead. Having access to “playbooks” would be quite handy.

Well at least there are all kinds of checks and balances to prevent big tech and the US Government from abusing this information, right? Thank goodness we have no reason to worry about it being used for political surveillance and identifying who to send to foreign concentration camps, or anything like that.
This is top tier comedy: Microsoft won the PC war to be benevolent and give it to Linux. How kind of them to shoot themselves in the foot for the good of mankind.
No shit?
WHAAAT? I would NEVER expect that from a company so good that cares about me and my data. They even tell me that in the perfect operating system! Windows! I just love bloat and ads and ai everywhere on my 150$ piece of software!!!
Not mine. There are a lot of reasons not to use Windows, and this is just one of them.
Moral blackmail and shaming will be the new industries of the future!
Makes sense why they want this technology so much, one thing has really been achieved - in year 2005 you couldn’t make a program that would be a keylogger and a useful thing all in one, so you had to make a keylogger somehow detect those rare events one can risk it running, or something like that. You couldn’t instruct it in English “send me his private messages on sites like Facebook”, you had to be specific and solve problems. Now you can. And these “AI”'s are usually one program with generic purpose. To stuff everything together with kinda useful things.
Why would you want to use that as a user. Like what is it for
everywhere is copying your private messages. Google, facebook, microsoft, reddit, your phone texts, anything you’ve ever posted anywhere. This isn’t news
The general public isn’t fully aware of the negative implications of it yet. That means it is news.

First they came for the ARM CPU users type mentality
*sigh* you’re not wrong but the constant posts are annoying.
It only works if you have an ARM CPU with an NPU.
No, it works on x86-64 assuming the device has a sufficient NPU. Both AMD and Intel CPUs latest CPUs list the Recall preview as available now.
And how many people have the latest CPU? Most Lemmy users don’t even have an HDR monitor—tech that’s been mainstream for over a decade at this point—let alone the latest and greatest processor.
I get that it is annoying for you since you obviously don’t have a pc that will run it, yet.
But a lot of problems in tech started because it was just there and didn’t do that much yet. Lots of governments are still catching up to the big tech to stop them from having too much power, because they slept on it.
I dislike the recall stuff too, I don’t have a pc that will be able to run it and probably won’t have one for the coming 10 years, unless there is a huge leap in performance. But I do appreciate all the people here making their voices heard and actually bending MS their knee as well.
So please filter it and get out of the way of the nice people, thank you
