#3“Can’t be uninstalled” and “not optional” aren’t the same thing.
This headline implies users won’t be able to prevent recall from taking screenshots of what they are doing. I don’t believe that’s true.

It's today. I encourage you to actually try it rather than repeat an old trope.

Indeed, from the article:
>Once shipped, Recall will also be something Windows users can disable but not entirely remove.

No, it really isn't, and I've been working with Linux on desktops since I installed slackware from floppy disks from the back of a giant book after having used Sparcstations. Every single implementation is terrible and breaks in weird ways.

#7Weird outrage bait over a feature that doesn't have to be used and is off by default. I don't know why people are losing their minds over this other than some pavlovian Microsoft response.

#8So even when the feature can be disabled (but not uninstalled), Microsoft will at least make sure that "no means no" and not silently enable the feature again after an OS update right? Right?!
I guess/hope the EU is already on it though.

#9Microsoft are conducting a massive experiment to find just how badly you can treat locked in consumers before they switch.
They are plumbing the depths so well it is legitimately hard to imagine what new madness they could come up with next.

AFAICT it's only going to work on Copilot+ branded systems anyway, and currently only the Snapdragon ARM machines have a beefy enough NPU to meet that criteria. Both Intel and AMD are working towards getting that certification with their upcoming CPUs though.
