A few words about the new Microsoft Recall #privacy busting feature. People on Mastodon probably know about it already, but still — WTF? Just store everything in a local database that seems to be insecure even before release? #windows#microsoft#ai
#Windows' upcoming #Recall feature is enabled by default btw in the OOBE setup and CANNOT be disabled directly - you will need to disable it in the Settings app instead, afterwards.
I don't know if you'd trust #Microsoft to actually respect that setting either, wouldn't be the first and only setting on Windows that doesn't actually do anything you'd want it to (or not to) do.
OH and also - Microsoft stores all the Recall data in an #SQLite database in plaintext, so you KNOW it's secure and definitely not easy to steal away from you by anyone that gains physical or remote access to your device <3
I'm finally caught up on the Microsoft Recall feature coming to Windows 11, and my very first question is who even wants this?
Who has sat there and went "oh yeah, I forgot what I was doing 5 mins ago on my pc and I absolutely cannot spend a few mins thinking about it or pressing the back button to remember" ???
@jeeynet Tu sais, quand une (m|s)inistre dit elle-même que les mineurs, parce que tels, n’ont assurément aucun droit à la vie privée et trouve “ahurissant” (texto !) qu’on puisse simplement imaginer qu’ils puissent en avoir une ; alors que ce sont pourtant des droits reconnus dans la plupart des pays du monde depuis des décennies… 🙄
