The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and more,” according to the Verge. What could this mean for future computing? It would certainly make digital forensics a whole lot easier……

      Linux isn’t the answer to everything. Linux users have become the vegans of the internet.

      Mind you I support Linux…

        I think it would be easier than relying on Microsoft. Or use MacOS

        Well you asked how to get out of the windows privacy nightmare. He simply answered it. This isn’t like some vegan telling you that veganism is going to save global warming. It’s an actual solution.

        Within Windows you can guarantee that Microsoft will somehow auto activate these privacy nightmares as they always do. No matter the Sysadmins trying to fight Microsoft with Regedits.

        Linux is starting to get more and more usable each year, and the need to jump ship from Windows gets bigger and bigger each year. While software compatibility remains an issue for a lot of proprietary Windows software, companies might want to seriously consider moving to Linux for privacy related reasons.

        Yeah this kind of blind proselytizing makes me cringe to be a linux user
