Windows Recall AI snapshots stored in an unencrypted SQL file in appdata. Apparently. Already there is scripts to install it on unsupported devices.

thank you for compiling this into a thread,
this is bleak, really hope there is a work around for this, but spy wear has been a reality for a while now, nvida has that shit encoded in their hardware. ill try and stuck with w10 for as long as possible or untill something changes.
still not enough to make me use linux. if you use linux you are a faggot

Considering how much buisnesses can be lax about security I'm not shocked they have to be reminded "Security is important retard!" every once in a while. I've seen been at companies where every employee has the same password as each other on the every account tied to the company, or critical NDA'd data is just casually in the background of social media posts.

I don't think this was malice just extreme retardation you get from the buisness world.

I'm very tempted to reformat my hard drive and chuck Linux on my PC now. Annoyingly, it's always that last 5% of games or software that makes you not be able to, plus it takes a while to get used to your OS. If my drive dies or I need to reinstall though, then I might use that as the chance to have a clean break.

I started dual booting Linux (as a toy) years ago. I started using it more seriously the first time Microsoft decided it could trespass in their customer's machines, during the forced "upgrades" to Windows 10. I still have Windows-only software that I use on a Windows system drive, but I now spend most of my non-work computer hours in Linux. There are some serious advantages. Anymore, the UI decisions of modern Windows desktop app developers are *rude*. They will steal the users' focus with pop ups and messages, start things automatically that you never asked to be started (Microsoft freaking Teams), and make it a pain to hunt down and turn off all the shitware. (The focus is a term for whichever window and UI element is currently selected that your input goes to. If an application pops up and steals focus, it had better be informing me that my office is about to self destruct, or my CPU is literally on fire!)

There are also a lot of things that can be made to run in Wine. A third option (which I also use) is to run a windows instance in VirtualBox. There are actually a few advantages to that. I can roll back unwanted forced "updates" by copying an older instance of the drive over the messed up drive file. Can seamlessly roll back that way. I can pass through USB devices (like some of my scanners and printers) to the Windows machine to use hardware that doesn't play nice with Linux. Use office without ever having to leave my main Linux session, etc. Only disadvantage is that Virtualbox doesn't support passing through GPUs to the guest OS. Qemu supposedly does, but I have finite time, and haven't learned to use it yet. Virtualbox is pretty stable and has been around for decades.

I would explore dual booting. Unplug your windows drive, plug in a spare drive, (for safety so nothing can go wrong during installation) - install linux on the spare drive. (I happen to like Mint.) Plug in the Windows drive, and you can set the boot order you want in the Bios. Linux can have grub (their bootloader) updated to recognize Windows on the other drive and give you an option to pick which OS to boot into.

Linux Mint with the Mate desktop (or Debian or Centos, etc with Mate) is very unbloated. Things respond quickly to input. (Also Linux has a lot of software tools that are useful, like imagemagick, dd (disk duplicator), ssh, any kind of server software, etc that make system administration much nicer.)

Prediction:

Instead of removing it they're going to just ignore the problem and force everyone to upgrade to Windows 11

They're already doing that to normal (ie not tech savy) people by designing the "UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 11" prompts as maliciously as they can.

Automated archival of shocking images and footage will continue until the morale improves.
Or, hear me out, or.....I will get fired lol
Maybe this is the right time to finally get that forklift/welding certificate or a farm.

Jokes aside, agree completely. I've been wondering for years how nobody minds that entire govertments, huge corporations etc. all run on shitty microsoft crap. That they pay for.

The funniest thing about recall is that microsoft has basically gone mask off, and people are acting shocked like "what the fuck, guys, microsoft is directly recording and archiving everything we do on the computer?!".

If you have been using windows before this and think Microsoft doesn't have an activity log, keylogs, and screenshots of everything youve ever done, you are a certified retard.

I tend to agree. Right now, everyone is panicking about AI. They're all terrified that if they don't figure out how to cram AI into everything, their business will be dead in five years. The mandate in software companies right now is to find ways to use AI as much as possible, period.

Microsoft's only mistake is attaching the word "AI" which is already a word that enthralls rage in many people. I genuinely think people are so complacent about how information is recorded in so many websites, that they only give a shit when AI is mentioned.
