  Man the first hackers to get their hands on that data are gonna get rich. Blackmail material, personal details, banking information, passwords, everything you could want.

  Every year I’m happier and happier that I touch MS products only when paid to do so.

    How happy are you to know your personal data is still going to be leaked because 90% of the services handling it are using MS Backdoor OS? If it’s not going to be your bank it will be your work, if not your work, then it will be your government, and there will be no consequences because "nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft®"™.

    Same my only experience with windows (and w11) is at work (exception being my vr flight sim pc).

      Is this a joke comment? Your experience is playing on MS OS, a flight sim which, assuming it’s the Flight Simulator, periodically sends data back and forth? on top of using it at work.

  This this more of a by product of the design than anything.

      Most of the distros run steam great out of the box. Our biggest problem is video card updates breaking crap. Linux Tech Tips scared a bunch of people off by not reading a warning message on an update then refusing to seek any help when something broke.

    Im excited to live in that world.

    Any game that relies on BS DRM like Denuvo that refuses to work for SteamOS can die in a fire.

    Most of the are shitty multiplayer games anyways.

      next PC upgrade won’t feature any Intel or Nvidia, full AMD full glorious Linux under steamOS hopefully

    You don’t need SteamOS. It’s likely not going to solve any problems for you that aren’t solved elsewhere. It’ll be good for console-like devices, but just use a normal desktop distro for a desktop computer.

    I like Garuda Dragonized for gaming. It comes set up with a lot of gaming stuff already, and makes it easy to install a bunch of other gaming related packages you may want.

    Theres no need to wait for Valve. The problem is solved already.

    • _____@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      eh? I tried gaming with lutris fairly recently and I’d call it far from solved.

      it’s in a better spot than a decade ago

  You have to be truly an idiot these days to still be using Windows.

      I hate that argument so much. It’s like picturing me incapable of choosing a car because I know nothing about them.

      “Why did you buy that garbage?” “It was the first vehicle at the first car dealer I found.”

      And as long as that group of people you just described continues to uncritically accept everything MS does, they have no motivation to do things differently.

  Is there a way to turn this off?

  • stevedice@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall
    

    Run that from an administrator terminal (right click start menu and select Terminal (Administrator)). You can also do it from Settings > Privacy > Recall.

    Those are the Microsoft-approved ways. If you don’t trust them, you can also just download a new iso and completely rip it off before install using something like ChrisTitus’ microWin.

  Although not the exact topic covered in the article, as you wouldn’t necessarily be sending sensitive information like that to other people, but it’s important to note that this means nothing you’ve sent before is safe.

  It’s not enough that from “now on” you don’t send anything you wouldn’t want Recall to capture, if you’ve already sent it and someone with Recall captures it then it’s compromised. It’s not just your own device that you need to worry about, it’s also everyone you might contact or have ever contacted.
