Oh, you’re saying that Recall is a privacy nightmare and a sweet target for malware? Surprised_pikachu.jpg

    Or you could just turn the feature off. Or just not enable it in the first place, as it’s possibly illegal to do this without showing an allow/disallow prompt at least - so just don’t click allow. Just saying.

      Just keep breathing in that copium, while Microsoft already specifically starts banning programs that are a curated-ish list of privacy-sensitive things to disable on windows at one click.

        So are you or are you not implying that this would be quietly enabled without explicitly prompting the user?

          If they can get away with it, by maybe burrying it in page 137 of the EULA, then yes.

          I vaguely remember win 8 coming with lots of invasive features, that were able to be disabled by a application which had such lists of registry edits needed.

          Also: Microsoft backports privacy-invasive features to windows 7 and 8 Many of these have effectively hidden Customer Experience Improvement config values in “help” menu of the program.

      Oh yes, because proprietary software created by greedy, user-hostile, profit-extracting Big Tech corporations can always be trusted. Microsoft would never steal people’s data without telling them about it.
