Gregory's ServerSounds like a privacy nightmare. You should consider #Linux ๐
One day this will type of stuff will end up mandatory, and even if itโs local itโs being fed into an AI. This stuff will get abused.

 @gamingonlinux Every breath you take ๐ถ Every single day ๐ต Oh, can't you see ๐ถ @gamingonlinux dear god. MS is really doing everything they can to make this the year of the linux desktop.  @gamingonlinux @gamingonlinux If I play then native Linux, like Factorio, X4. No steam, (mostly) no wine, no online account, no cloud. I am on plain Debian since Windows 7. There's more (FOS-) software for Linux today (also digital audio workstation and telescope controller, does that count as playing :-) ?) then there is for windows, and it is in many cases way(!) better quality.  @gamingonlinux it's a nightmare for privacy, global system performance and disk space, for something nobody asked for... @gamingonlinux  @gamingonlinux Totally agree. I mean, this feature looks like a total crap-fest. I'm all for innovation, but not at the cost of our privacy. Linux is definitely the way to go if you want to avoid this kind of surveillance. Let's keep our data to ourselves, not feed it to some AI monster!  My brain already has a recall function, why would I need my #PC to remember what happened the other day?  Anyone for this stuff just isn't thinking: - It's another target for malicious use There's so so many problems with this kind of thing. @gamingonlinux it's gonna be fun to see how Microsoft world will be different to Microsoft Europe ( privacy and optout law here) Still sad that a lot of game doesn't work on Linux because of anti cheat And in their FAQ: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/copilot-plus-pcs#shop Yeah that's gonna go so well.  @gamingonlinux who tf would use this, hell who thought of this :BlobhajSadReach:  @gamingonlinux "Save this AWS Secret Access Key in a secure location now as it will not be displayed again" - except when Recall decides to just casually drop it into a conversation with a 3rd party a month later. @gamingonlinux "we are going to take pictures of your screen as you type in your passwords but it's the fault of the websites actually not us" @gamingonlinux It's a nice way for MS to use your data "without using your data". They will train the AI model on your computer and import the model regularly. Having data about you without having it! Brilliant, isn't it? @gamingonlinux Can you opt-out or deactivate it completely? Or it will be like Cortana, a thing that you can bound but not opt-out completely because it is invetered in the system search feature? @gamingonlinux At least it's exclusive to the new Snapdragon ARM processors, since apparently modern Intel and AMD chips can't handle that kind of AI. Nevertheless, it's still a hell of a dick move by Microsoft, but what were we expecting, considering both Copilot and ads on the Start menu (maybe eventually even in, I don't know, the settings app? Who knows) shoved in Win11 for no reason at all? I really don't get why companies keep on shoving these glorified tech demos everywhere. @gamingonlinux The more MS teases Win 11's new features, the more I feel like replacing my Win10 install with Linux. @gamingonlinux Nice feature for all abusive managers wanting full control of their employees! They will be very disappointed that it's limited to a specific processor now ๐  @gamingonlinux Great news to hurry us to finally switch to Linux. We've been wanting to do it for a long time, although for a completely different reason - the comfort of Linux programming. @gamingonlinux If this is active at any point without the users full knowledge and understanding and without them manually and intentionally starting it up themselves its just straight up malware at a level that should be illegal.  @gamingonlinux I would love to do that if I knew how to get at least close to my current Windows configuration. It's really hard to move away from the ease of software like SteelSeries Sonar and Moments. I don't even know where to start, haha ๐ @gamingonlinux Microsoft doesn't seem to have the best track record in privacy or ethics or playing well with others or coding or software releases or updates, unless you're speaking to bloatware malware viruses and forcing hardware obsolescence artificially to drive a market for profits sake at the expense of the end user.  @gamingonlinux there's literally no way this invasive bullshit doesn't somehow get tied to Teams productivity reporting, at some point.  @gamingonlinux Yeah, people often don't kno or ignore the fact that humans abuse even the smallest amount of power.  |
@gamingonlinux luckily it's limited to Snapdragon CPUs (for now)
edit: Like, if it were some, say, chinese shady software we would call it spying right away, when MS does it it's suddendly a feature?
