    Seems as though Microsoft has started making positive changes to recall.

    Microsoft is making changes to a controversial feature announced for its new range of PCs powered by artificial intelligence after it was flagged as a potential “privacy nightmare”.

    This is a terrible idea! Doesn’t MS already have enough issues with spyware getting on their OS, why do they need to encourage it even more, but not only that, help out those that would exploit this. I seriously don’t know how all these companies that run MS still choose MS. Are there plusses to running all MS, yes there sure are, but the security is c**p and I would rather have secure over the plusses of MS.

    @Madchatthew I think this is probably “one for the purists”. I do run Windows at home for work reasons, and will be disabling this.

    @phenomlab yeah I have windows as well. It is windows 10 so next year I will have to delete it and install linux on it. I really hate the windows 11 requires the new tpm but what do ya do. I know there is a way to still install windows 11 and bypass the tpm part, but then I have also read there can be issues with that and OS upgrades aren’t as easy. Unless I missed something. I would be disabling this feature as well.

    @Madchatthew Yes, Windows 11 has very strict requirements around TPM and even processor requirements. My current laptop is more than capable of running Windows 11 but won’t because it’s not listed as being compatible.

    Not that it matters to me - my laptop runs KDE Neon 🙂

    That is a really nice distro.

    @JAC wow. Thanks for the great comments. They are truly appreciated. I tend to agree with the social media comments you’ve made. This is made all the more prominent in relation to recent events in Southport for example, and toxicity is a huge issue. Just look at some of the comments from trolls - they are truly disgusting, and the perpetrators seem to take great delight in the anonymity the Internet affords them. forums in general are much more subject focused, easier to moderate and users are less likely to be banned because they are there for a specific interest or reason, not to cause trouble. Agreed, although discussions can still get out of hand and quite often, these are left to run riot and quickly spiral out of control. A great example of that is here https://sudonix.org/topic/141/how-to-destroy-a-community-before-it-s-even-built there’s something much more calming about coming to a specific page at your fancy, posting and taking part in healthy debates over the real mishmash of social media. Yes, I personally prefer the atmosphere of a forum against the backdrop of unwanted noise via social media.

    @phenomlab I was. I was one of the ones they gave access to, to help fix the computers and get them back up and running. It was fun running around the floor again fixing computers. Reminded me of my IT days haha

    @DownPW This won’t be the first time that Amazon and others like them are being bought to account. I recall seeing a documentary on the TV recently where they sent in a reporter with secret cameras to film the strict regimen and constant threat of being fired for not meeting targets that workers are placed under. The surveillance just takes this to a whole new level in my view and it’s like being placed under a microscope for constant scrutiny. This goes well beyond the surveillance placed on prisoners!

    @phenomlab yeah and that makes sense. I wish I would have noticed it before i wiped the old phone and packaged it up to send back. Then I could have tried a different method for transferring the data. Oh well, ya live and ya learn I guess
