#142Unfortunate. Luckily, Windows itself can be removed. It's incredible how much Microsoft is resting on their laurels in terms of seeing Windows as insurmountable and so consumers must take whatever Microsoft decide to dish out. I would have been totally resigned to this fact a decade ago, but middle-school+ kids these days don't use Windows - they use Chromebooks. A huge minority of them use iPhones. Familiarity with…
Windows+Micro$oft still seems to be the default for big installations, like tens of machines on a LAN needing centralized authentication. What is the state of Mac/Apple for this ? Can it be done ? Can MS be banished from the premises, perhaps traded for a Linux server here & there ?
Just put your question into ChatGPT and you'll receive a great answer.
People are still using Windows simply because they are used to working with shit.

Using Chromebooks and iPhones is supposed to make people less tolerant of vendor overreach?? . The big shortcoming that windows had was fixed with powershell and windows terminal. Now it's just got mildly annoying UI defaults. The big things it has are: * Outlook and the rest of Office * Visual Studio * Active Directory * Tons and tons of industry-specific applications
At least they won't get owned by ransomware with a Chromebook and iPhone.

#144Doesn't this break EU law, by collecting personal information without consent, and without offering the option to have it removed?
I would be surprised if this stands up in courts in the EU.

#145Will Microsoft sell your 'Recall' information to 3rd-parties?
The data is the goldmine, they aren't going to share it, but they will use it to train models and target ads.

#146I'm confident if we all start calling it "find last week's porn" instead of "recall", it will make things better.
That is literally what it will end up doing.

Microsoft is in the process of jumping the shark. I'm sure it could be argued that Windows Vista was when they jumped the shark, or a dozen other times in the past. But it's Windows 11 or whatever they are cooking up right now that has them jumping the shark. I'm a die-hard Windows fan. After the Amiga was discontinued, I went to Windows and dug in. Now I'm moving to Linux. All of my many computers and even more virt…
Windows ai is mostly a union breaker for office jockeys. "You already trained yiur successor" is a great start for negotiating a seties of downrounds.

Wow. I pasted my question into the free Claude, and it spit out a long answer but then wiped it and told me that it had hit constraints and I should upgrade to Pro. WTH. Phooey.
