- In December, an investigation by Tom’s Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its “filter sensitive information” setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.
They say you can disable Recall by keep pornhub videos running in foreground.
Sorry, boss, but this girl-on-girl playlist is to protect our sensitive data from Microsoft
LMAO!!
In 1998, who could have predicted that in 2025, users would be the lords of porn pop-ups?
Forcing the Eye of Microsoft to gaze my mommy milker daddy dwarf bangers is truly the quintessential example of that which is nameless in the Tao.
pornado,
Damn, what’s the opposite of 1984?
Have Frozen running in the foreground. I’m half tempted to install Windows on a VM and just have Frozen running on a loop.
Make Disney and Microsoft fight it out in court.
The
coldcopyright never bothered me anyways.—Microsoft
be more malicious run PH and various porn sites.
You can also disable Recall by using a Linux distro
This is the highest-quality, shocked Pikachu I’ve ever seen.
Higher resolution but looks worse imo. Someone probably threw it in illustrator, used that auto vector tool or whatever and exported as high res without fixing the lines.
Or just used an auto-upscaler.
I am shocked, shocked I tell you.
Not mine. There are a lot of reasons not to use Windows, and this is just one of them.
WHAAAT? I would NEVER expect that from a company so good that cares about me and my data. They even tell me that in the perfect operating system! Windows! I just love bloat and ads and ai everywhere on my 150$ piece of software!!!
Moral blackmail and shaming will be the new industries of the future!
Well at least there are all kinds of checks and balances to prevent big tech and the US Government from abusing this information, right? Thank goodness we have no reason to worry about it being used for political surveillance and identifying who to send to foreign concentration camps, or anything like that.
woah, what, i can’t believe it
Shocked!
everywhere is copying your private messages. Google, facebook, microsoft, reddit, your phone texts, anything you’ve ever posted anywhere. This isn’t news
So we should be okay with it? What’s your point?
🐧 lol
Ahh the good ol roll over and die tactic. Americans never fail to lick a companies boots.
The general public isn’t fully aware of the negative implications of it yet. That means it is news.

How is this possibly going to be tolerated in business environments?
In business environments this can help employers spy on their employees. That’s how, I guess.
They pay more for it not being switched on… Or it doesn’t call out to home
“pay us money to not do something” sounds like some mob shit
I would guess my company absolutely wants it, but wants the I fo sent only to them.
In fact if they didn’t already have something like this installed on our PCs I’d be floored.
My company is still on Windows 10 LT or whatever.
So, pay more it is.
That AI is going to be copying a lot of “I put on my robe and wizard hat”
Why would you want to use that as a user. Like what is it for
This is top tier comedy: Microsoft won the PC war to be benevolent and give it to Linux. How kind of them to shoot themselves in the foot for the good of mankind.
They didn’t fully hand it to Linux yet. We still have to earn that. Ideological appeal / privacy concern alone isn’t enough for many people if the jump seems too scary, particularly if it feels like a one-directional leap of faith. What if they don’t like it on the other side? Better the devil you know…
We need to build bridges, in both directions: help and encourage people to switch to Linux, but also promise them help to get back, basically an “out” if they don’t like it. I see plenty of guides for migrating to Linux, but how about getting back to Windows?
It’s okay not to like Linux, it’s okay to be scared or apprehensive, and it’s okay to get cold feet and return to the familiar. Maybe some time in the future they’ll try again.
I don’t understand why Lemmy is so obsessed with Recall. It only works if you have an ARM CPU with an NPU. Nearly every Windows user is on an x86-64 chip.
Yes I agree that it shouldn’t exist in Windows at all, but everyone is complaining about a feature that less than 1% of users even have access to; the amount of people who opt into using is going to be even smaller.
Stop obsessing over it so much and find something different to hate on Microsoft over. God knows there’s plenty of other reasons to dislike them. Seriously, it’s so annoying. I’m about to set a filter for the word “recall”.
It only works if you have an ARM CPU with an NPU.
No, it works on x86-64 assuming the device has a sufficient NPU. Both AMD and Intel CPUs latest CPUs list the Recall preview as available now.

So it’s just a matter of time then? When can we complain? A year from now? Two years? Do we have to wait for the next garbage thing Microsoft does? Hey, why don’t you just tell us exactly when it’s okay for us to complain? We bow to you oh great one. We live by your command.
deleted by creator
Wait for them build it before you complain? Wild take.
Don’t argue with me or it’s straight to the Gulag for you
First they came for the ARM CPU users type mentality
*sigh* you’re not wrong but the constant posts are annoying.
Not to mention it’s optional, entirely on device, and secure.
Let’s be honest, most of Lemmy users complaining about it are on Linux or a Chromebook anyway. They can’t use it even if they wanted to.
Well, if they say it’s secure, it must be secure!
Chromebook? Lmao
We run Linux on them because they’re cheap and disposable.
Disposable? Gross.
You use the same computer every day? Now that’s unhygienic.
I get that it is annoying for you since you obviously don’t have a pc that will run it, yet.
But a lot of problems in tech started because it was just there and didn’t do that much yet. Lots of governments are still catching up to the big tech to stop them from having too much power, because they slept on it.
I dislike the recall stuff too, I don’t have a pc that will be able to run it and probably won’t have one for the coming 10 years, unless there is a huge leap in performance. But I do appreciate all the people here making their voices heard and actually bending MS their knee as well.
So please filter it and get out of the way of the nice people, thank you
No shit?
to vast majority of people this is unthinkable. They will also likely just not even notice news like this because they dont pay attention to such things and likely dont even care about their personal info until something bad happens to them because of that.
Stealing this info and posting it publicly is an important way to fight back. Once prole hear their credit card is being defrauded because of recall it will be untenable for it to stay
