I don’t understand how businesses that use windows for employee laptops are not throwing a fucking tantrum. I would be.
They already said it will be off by default for all Enterprise editions of windows. They’re protecting their corporate buddies but normal users get fucked, as always.
Not every business uses enterprise. I suspect quite a few use pro.
I checked my work laptop running W11. Recall was installed and enabled. No copilot+. IT had no idea. Disabled it right away.
Off by default. For now…
One step. The corps know it. It’s been happening for years. One step, then soon after you just accept that’s how it is. Then another step. And another. And another…
I actually really doubt it’d ever go on by default for enterprise installations. One tiny slipup in GPO and IT departments could end up with the most massive explicit data leak in history, many many companies and governments working with very sensitive data would drop all Microsoft products in a heartbeat. Microsoft knows that is an impossible sell and really not worth the squeeze vs just shoving a larger dildo up the private consumer’s ass.
They just turn it off with group policy or intune.
can’t wait for the first “whoops, it accidentally got turned on beccause of a bug” news headline
This.
We did get pissed off, then turned on a GPO to block it
Even easier. It’s off by default in enterprise and education SKUs.
Noppeee. Very happy I switched to Linux. Despite how annoying all the hounding about it was, it’s galaxies better than the shitshow Windows 11 is becoming.
The nice thing IMO about Linux is that it’s “learn and forget”, you only need to learn things once (like sudo, apt-get or whete is the home dir and what is it), it won’t be randomly changed in an upcoming forced update.
And when shit is gonna change, you can downgrade to the older version, but even then, the changes always ends up being warned for a long ass time that “hey, X thing will change soon!”
The malicious thing about recall is, it doesn’t matter how much you protect yourself, every one you interact with has to protect themselves too, or your private chats are gonna land there anyway
Ah, surprised I didn’t think of that. Fuckin hell. There’s no good way to have a private conversation these days.
Ahh yes, I like to start my Saturday morning with a little horrors beyond human comprehension.
nope
Oh good.
