No. But people do want large action models and for that you need a training dataset, which is what Recall will provide.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
Nope, not enjoying this at all. We're already looking at full OS alternatives for our workloads.
Linux + Bottles / Lutris. I wouldn't go to Win 11, and Linux actually is good enough now.
> Linux actually is good enough now.
You say this like there is one Linux that people can use. Instead, it is fragmented to hell and back with various distros. Since it's a replacement for Windows, a GUI will be needed. There's more than one of those as well.
So now, some one needs to go down that rabbit hole of trying to decide which distro/GUI will work for them. So a generic "use Linux" is not very helpful.

#25It is possible to uninstall any Windows component if you know which files contain it. And it's not like Windows would refuse to boot if Recall exe/dlls suddenly go missing. (this website is behind Cloudflare and blocks me unless I use a VPN)
I think the logic behind their statement lies in updates that reinstall the bloatware, as often is the case with Microsoft edge
You can uninstall the updater too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just move its files (C:/windows/system32/wua*.dll) somewhere else. Put them back when/if you want to install updates, install updates, then move them again.

#26National Defense runs almost entirely on Windows workstations, including "high-side" or classified networks. I can't imagine the powers that be are too thrilled with this feature, and much like the Intel TPM High Assurance bit, I bet there's an undocumented way to remove it.
The article is a bit of rage-bait. You can already disable it via Group Policy and users can turn it off. They're trying to get clicks because they're trying to make it seems like uninstalling it is some meaningful difference. If you don't trust that the settings on your computer work what in gods name are you using windows for.
Microsoft has a history of re-enabling privacy violating settings after a while, so I would be concerned too.

They've got their own version of Windows and licensing. They're not running Windows 10 Home lol. They've got their own LTSC type thing. DoD works directly with Microsoft. None of this applies to them.

Exactly. People don't want certain things but also want an ai to do other certain things and don't realize the path to 1 is thru the other.

#29I suspect this will lead to an increase in the number of people staying on Win10 and below. Naturally, MS will also continue spreading their usual FUD in their attempts at persuading the userbase to "bend over and take it". This will also lead to an increased demand for custom "distros" and modding tools and such, which has always been a bit of an "underground" community but has occasional resurgences. https://news.y…
> people staying on Win10 and below everything below 10 has been EOL for a good while now, and 10 only has a year left
No one really cares about that "EOL" crap unless they've been brainwashed by the FUD. A lot of very important software[1] still works on Vista or 7, and a large portion of that even on XP and below. Also don't forget that Win10 IoT LTSC is officially supported until 2032.
[1] Not things like the latest games, but LOB applications and related software that companies rely on for their work.
