Has anyone been able to verify how locked down the new Windows Qualcomm laptops are? What are the Linux possibilities with these things?

»Ukraine-Friedenskonferenz: die Schweiz im Visier Putins«
— von @watson_news

Nun ja, überraschend ist dies nun nicht aber ob die Schweiz darauf technisch so wie mental und strukturell vorbereitet ist, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Meines Wissens wird ua an vielen Orten blind Windows genutzt und den Anti-Virus Software vertraut.

Making Recall opt-in has, effectively, killed it.

Oh, it will still ship.

Folks who worked on it will move on to new features and the ownership will be transferred to the servicing devision (WSD).

After a while WSD will get fed up with the cost of maintaining yet another rarely used shell feature and will deprecate it. Either that or the shell team will rewrite everything again and drop it.

Okay this USB C hub USED to bring almost-full wattage charging to my Surface Laptop Studio + USB C display to my portable monitor. Now it doesn't.

Something must be wrong, it definitely did work

I still need to take a closer look at the toots of @shadowserver but it seems to be an other argument against and on Windows to the boss and customers… 🙄

@kubikpixel @shadowserver @arstechnica
Only hits the windows version. But I haven't heard anyone doing webdev on windows that doesn't use wsl anymore. Wouldn't really know why you would want to use xampp or windows specific versions anyway except for some obscure use cases (like directory access etc)

@martijn ...I absolutely agree with you, but I still have such cases, even from bosses who call themselves professionals 🙄

Love this variation on the polychromatic brick style of industrial building, using a mix of glazed and unglazed bricks. These windows are on the former sawmill offices on Craighall Road in Glasgow designed by George Bell and constructed in 1893.

@thisismyglasgow I suspect that this was done partly for economy. Glazed bricks would have been more expensive, but are easier to keep clean. You probably want to keep your view out of the window clean, but the general wall face is less important. The decorative effect is a bonus.

Well, that's a step in the right direction!

Windows won’t take screenshots of everything you do after all — unless you opt in

It’s a start, but it does nothing to protect victims of domestic violence or people who’ve opted out but whose information is on the computers of people who’ve opted in.

MS Recall begs the question, “Who does this serve?”

Microsoft recall serves one group, and their name is the first word in this sentence.

If the user-agent version string in the log is correct, someone is using Firefox 33 (released 2014) on Windows 8.1 (released 2013).

That's ... ancient.

Microsoft does not Recall automatically

Looks like Microsoft will make Recall opt-in. Seemingly they needed user feedback to figure out that people might not like the idea of them taking a screenshots of their screens every 5 seconds or so.

Security experts also pointed out that this would be a security nightmare. Pretty obvious, really.

This is another example why it is clear Big Tech is not to be trusted to make the right decisions, even when they are staring them in the face.

Desperate to not loose out, they are moving quickly to not be left behind, running blindly ahead without thinking of the consequences.

@jon tbh the tech isn't so bad, but its exactly that MS can't be trusted, that it can't be used. The next day MS decides to upload it into their cloud and then lose it.

So, will not come with activated, just Recall spyware pre-installed.

What a relief. Not. 🙄

If I'd own a company which is still using , I'd have a migration path to worked out meanwhile.
