Microsoft spend a fortune on funding “renewable” energy to power their data centres, and also have their own private on-site “renewable” power generation at many of their data centres.

Why are they using electricity for stuff no one asked for? It seems to be too cheap over there…

Why do you think no one asks for stuff like this? Facial recognition is one of the best features of photo storage systems as it lets you easily find all of your photos that have certain people in them. It’s fantastic for making shared albums with family members where any pics of certain people are automatically added once recognized.
Onedrive having it makes using Onedrive for photo storage and sharing a much better experience.

Only if it can be done locally. I don’t want my fucking face going out to a bunch of asshole corporations databases any more than absolutely necessary.

Do you not understand how cloud services work?

If you really want it, you should be able to enable it. No reason to do that with the other 90% who don’t need it.

So your argument now is just that it should be disabled by default?

Regarding electricity: yes
Regarding privacy: no, but my privacy views are based on what we have in Germany, where the feature might not be allowed at all.
