    It’s not, but it’s also not spyware - it’s local, encrypted, AND optional.

        So you’re saying you haven’t bothered to read about Recall at all, you just assumed it’s going to be enabled by default?

            “Look at this fossil thinking it’s still 1990”, I guess?

            Mate, did you miss how 30 years have passed? How the world change? Can you even begin to imagine the fine the EU would slap without a second thought on MS if they tried pulling something like suddenly grabbing these screenshots from users’ devices?

              I will pass on being your mate. I don’t like shills.

              I am curious though, what do boots taste like?

                  Already told you I don’t want to be your mate. Maybe learn what consent is.

                  Also, go play devil’s advocate somewhere else. You suck at it.

          Until a windows update kicks in and somehow turns it on for the world. thanks but no thanks. I’ll be disabling this not with a reg key but with local policy or DSC if I have to use a windows machine for personal again.

          I switched to Linux 2 months ago.

            Until a windows update kicks in and somehow turns it on for the world.

            I don’t know if this is a regional thing, but I’ve been using Windows since 3.11 and have NEVER had ONE instance of an update randomly turning on something that I’ve turned off before.

      Optional like how it reminds me every 3 days that it wants my info for “customization” purposes, and I can only sleep the notification for another 3 days instead of telling it to fuck off?

      They have been so predatory, at this point no one should see anything they do as benefiting end users.

        If it does that, outrage will be understandable.

        Getting outraged about something they said will be 100% optional and hasn’t even released yet is just childish.

      Microsoft is known for making things “optional” at first then eventually forcing it down everyone’s throats. Removing offline accounts is one of them.

      It’s not so much the technology itself is malware, but its behavior replicates that of malware.

          This also works: shift-F10 before you get to the network configuration, then type this and press enter start ms-cxh:localonly

          For either method, if you configure networking during setup, e.g. plug in an ethernet cable or give it the wi-fi password, it’ll keep returning to the online account screen. You need to do it prior to network config.

        Right. So you’re all panicking just in case.

        That’s what’s being swept under the rug as “alarmists being loud”.
