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

Again I have to refer to a secret project in Sid Meier Alpha Centauri where everyone gets hacked, a classic game:

Maybe MS implemented this on order from the us governemt so they can spy more.






Just disable trusted computing feature in Bios and your computer will be incompatible.

The best Alpha Centauri video for Kiwi Farms is this one:

It very much applies to our situation. I'd swear the guy in the last part of the video is Matthew Prince.

I personally use Windows 10 LTSC.

IoT LTSC master race. I mean really actually use linux, but if you need windows for something faggy like excel that excel online won't do and wine bottles are too autistic, then fine a 10 VM. Dualbooting 10 for gayming is also ok. I use 10 for cad sometimes.

Video when the whole cloud flare DDOS shit happened

Sorry must remind people not to give traffic to this nigga, the video was full of incorrect shit about what was going on so after that I really don't trust what he says in his videos

Anyone falling for literal nigger content deserves what they get. reality is extremely clear and consistent about IQ gaps, success gaps, it's only

I sort of have to use 11 if I use windows. I bought a 13th gen intel (mistake) and only windows 11's new task scheduler properly supports the e-cores.
Instead I just switched to full time Linux and haven't missed anything in the slightest. Every game outside of zoomer competitive shit works out of the box, even photoshop and premiere work with some jankery, and you can set up a hardware passthrough VM for any other needs. It's never been a better time for Kiwis to swap if you're willing to trade getting away from microsoft's cuckery for a slight learning curve.

You can do like HWE kernels on Ubuntu to get a newer kernel but overall stable base otherwise. But sounds like it's working out fine. Glad you have a good non-kiked setup.

Stay on 10 LTSC and force Microshit to undo the planned EOL, they reopened the beta channel for 10 recently so its probably going to get support past 2025 as 11 is actually losing market share

That didn't happen with 7 and it especially won't happen with 10. There is no profit motive. The ads are forced into 11, as is the latest DEI telemetry, and now AI accelerated control. 10 will stay high in ranking due to 80% pirated chinese copies, like how xp has a signficant marketshare now, but you're delusional if you think microsoft has a way to squeeze money out of the niggercattle to the point of actual normal support.

I mean, what alternatives are there other than pulling a Terry and making your own OS.

You're overthinking the solution here.

Is this why I got 5 fucking attemps on my microsoft account this morning?

I've been getting a lot of that too in the past month or so.

 

[CoolGuy1990]

I literal switched my only win 11 system over to linux mint 3 days before this I'm tearing my hair out to get the fucking wi fi to work but it's still wort it

Storage for normal computers isn't an issue any more and taking a screenshot every 3 minutes is practically nothing.

Assuming each screenshot is about a MB and it does it every three minutes when someone's actively using the PC during the work week, that's about 131GB over the usual four-year lifecycle of an enterprise desktop.

Enterprise desktops with 256GB SSDs are still being sold since you don't really need much more than that for your usual office stuff, so that's going to be a problem.

The individual that did that analysis said each recall shot was ~90k, so less than 1/10 of a megabyte. If that is accurate, that's about 11.8 GB over the same 4 years. That wouldn't be difficult to accommodate.

I guess windows ME wasn't that bad

ME was Microsoft's greatest fuckup of an OS until Win 8. Win 8 will hopefully hold the crown for a long itme.

Yeah, after W10 gets taken out behind the woodshed, I'm simply going to have to use Linux. There's no more coping or workarounds; you're either willing to be monitored by the Eye of Sauron every waking moment or you're not. On the bright side, it will be a fun learning experience.

Oh, and Recall abso-fucking-lutely will keep running and re-enabling itself regardless of what options you select or what you "consent" to, and I know this because that's what Cortana does now. Windows 10 set the precedent with its telemetry bullshit; Microsoft won't let you opt out of the anal probe. How could Microsoft implement a feature that will be so easily abused by criminals? Simple, it is because they, too are criminals.

Will it ever be used in an enterprise context, though? The only way I can see it being of interest in that context is if it can act as an integrated surveillance tool, and in that case I'd imagine the contents would be sent off to a Microsoft or business-owned server for storage and oversight by management, not kept on-disk and viewable by the surveillance target('s user account).

 

[Falcon Sebben]

I was happy when we decided not to go with Windows 11 and just pay for extended service on Windows 10.

Now I'm relieved we never went with Windows 11. And I'm suddenly worried about what Windows 12 will bring.

Suddenly I'm considering maybe we should switch to Linux...

Actually...I think this is probably where MS is going with it. I don't see any other use case for it. Now your employer can see you're posting on reddit and jacking it to catgirls all day instead of actually working, and with regular screenshots, OCR and timestamps they can easily separate your minutes working vs minutes not working.

I doubt it would be hard to prevent the local user from fucking around with it and just ship a versioned update to the company's servers every night.

 

[Hojicha]

So this is not on current windows 11 users devices unless they buy a new copilot device?

 

[Da Grim Reaper]

Just saying, the only things keeping "Year of Linux" from happening is... WINE.

Large majority of programs are made for Windows-only in mind, and many of them won't even install or run under the latest version of WINE/Bottles. Normies will not ruin their workflows in favor of FOSS alternatives either.
If WINE's compability were flawless, I guarantee that we'd see a market share in the double digits by now, and game developers would make their anti-cheat software support Linux because there's an incentive.
Also, no, you can't just "VM" it because you gotta virtualize Windows first, and then run the program itself inside that Windows instance, the experience wouldn't be butter smooth. Not everybody has enough CPU/RAM for that.
At this point you should just dual boot, but dual booting just to click a simple .exe file and then going back to your distro after you're done extremely frustrating and time consuming too.
Steam Deck was a godsend, so is Proton, and NVIDIA drivers suck less now.
However, a lot of people still use Windows due to this minor problem with WINE.

As of now, expect many to stay on Windows 10.

Man, if this is the case, new ARM laptops won't ever have to worry about ransomware ever again, because the fuckers probably threw a Trojan or some shit on to a random grandpa's computer and stole all his passwords and shit just from screenshots alone. Good job Microcock for making yet another tool that will make your operating system less likely to withstand attacks. Windows 10 is where I will stay even if it means getting no security updates, fuck it, fuck it, fuck windows 11.

I mean, what alternatives are there other than pulling a Terry and making your own OS. Fucking Solaris?
At some point everyone's gonna be forced to make a decision between bending over for microsoft or jumping ship, and we might be approaching such a point if this feature doesn't get scrapped.

Realistically? Finding ways to cripple it. Anyone wanting to use a touch screen AND play old RPG maker games on windows has had to basically rip the system apart to stop it from registering a constant up key. It was a fascinating case of waiting for the right autist because the problem was known for ages until somebody with the right skill set plink plank plonked the answer down on a forum. Everyone knew a fix existed. Everyone knew it had something to do with touch screens. In the end it was disabling a single driver.

This one won't be as simple, of course, but then again who knows how well this house of straws will be put together.

What Linux users tend to forget is that windows is still very much an operating system comprised of a thousand moving parts, and eventually there will be an autist with a process that disables the system, floods it with garbage, or otherwise stops it. Unfortunately many of those Autists are using their time and or tardbucks on what unfortunately will amount to little more than a fun little hobby rather than getting into the guts of a common operating system.

I'm primarily a Loonix user and on occasion will use a Windows 10 partition solely for gaming in the event I cannot properly configure a wine bottle for a windows game. Windows is rife with telemetry data that is reported non stop which eats up system resources, bandwidth and ruins overall system performance while raping its users of privacy. It's sad to see that I actually get better frame rates and game performance on Linux than I do on Windows, you figure such games would run better on their intended platform. But no, Microsoft Malwinwarez needs to run its insipid garbage. Plus you have full system and hardware control in Linux, absolute control of your GUI, apps, network, core etc. Far more secure and private from anyone wanting to snoop into your shit, that includes hackers, skids and government agencies. Something the user friendly crowd gets cucked out of.

tldr: This sorta thing always happens with Windows, switch to Loonix!

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

It could be worse, at least they are storing your data on your device and making it accessible to you, instead of in the cloud and keeping it inaccessible.

Don't hold your breath.
