This feature is a wet dream for three letter agencies or bad actors. It can’t get better than this. What next turns off TLS? I don’t know a single security researcher who will recommend this feature.

@nixCraft At least it’s offline (for now)

It’s not like this feature is on an OS that’s full of holes or anything :troll:

That was a problem before Recall. Repair people love to look at or copy documents on computers they’re repairing.

@nixCraft More than a wet dream for any spy agency. We will call it SpyOS instead of windows. Confirm my choice to switch to Linux even more.

@nixCraft How could anyone recommend this OS to orgs that work with sensitive data?

I do wonder how this will fly with companies depending on PCI-DSS, HIPAA and similar certifications where their employees screens might contain sensitive data - even for a brief time.

@pr06lefs @nixCraft I think there's a group policy or something to disable it? Which means that'll probably get added to the long list of arcane "make Windows usable" some folks seem bound and determined to go through

@pr06lefs@mastodon.social @nixCraft@mastodon.social Microsoft will sell them a more costly version of Windows without this feature. No way healthcare organizations and governments will use computers with this feature. But they'll certainly pay extra to not have it.
