      “we noticed you uninstall Recall. Probably just an accident. We reinstalled it in an unremovable way and enabled it for you. You’re welcome?”

      They will claim it’s security based

        If they want to pay 2-3 Billions to EU for breaking laws, let them. I will also make so money suing them.

  only until they find out most people never enable it. Then it will be forced on

    Yeah, this is just the thin end of the wedge.

    Although I suppose you could call windows itself the thin end of the wedge, this is a slightly wider part.

  Most MS controversial features go through “opt in -> opt out -> mandatory” pipeline examples are Telemetry, Windows Live account, Spotlight (ui ads), etc.

    This is good. There are probably some edge cases for this. I work in IT for some companies using industrial automation. Being able to roll back and watch what people do when errors or problems occur is a good feature. Similarly on high value servers I would like this as well.

    Being able to turn it on is better than having to apply policies to disable. I don’t see this as a big problem anymore.

      I’m not sure if you understood the comment you responded to…

      There is a big concern of it recording confidential information that could be leaked as well.

  opt in for now.

  For now, anyway. Let’s hope it stays that way.

  Good! In my opinion this entirely changes the feature to acceptable.

  • Liz@midwest.social ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    They will eventually change the default to “on.”

    source

    • hightrix@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      At that time, my view of the feature will change to unacceptable. Until then, it is acceptable.

  Also it’s not available on x86-64 CPUs. You need an ARM CPU with an NPU
