What's your opinion of Windows Recall?

[llorando]

For those who don't know what Windows Recall is, it's a windows feature that creates a searchable archive by periodically taking snapshots of your computers screen.

Total invasion of privacy. I wonder what they do with them. 🤔

I wonder about my cellphone. I turn it off before I go to sleep and when I turn it on in the morning, my camera is on and focused on my bed.

I have screen lock so how does it go on bypassing my passcode?🤔🤔🤔

I don't even turn my camera on and it does this. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Totally is an invasion of privacy and will be ditching windows completely for Linux.
Do you have security software installed on your phone? I personally use Bitdefender, free on the google play store.

I disabled it as soon as I was able to. Fuck that noise

[llorando]

Future updates to windows could get rid of the option to disable it.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’m sure the option will exist whether windows allows it or not

[llorando]

How can the option exist of Microsoft doesn't allow it?

For the same reason you can undo shitty iOS updates even though apple doesn’t want you to: tech dudes that hate big companies pulling dumb shit spreading knowledge on how to stop it

[NathanDavis]

there's a reason why they pushed it back themselves...

actually there were dozens of very good reasons why they called it back

I can see the value of it, but it will be something most people will turn off as there are better apps.
