       Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data    https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies.  #privacy #security

       This feature is a wet dream for three letter agencies or bad actors. It can’t get better than this. What next turns off TLS? I don’t know a single security researcher who will recommend this feature.

       @nixCraft on further investigation this is ONLY on the new arm based PCs, so no immediate panic yet, however I suspect it will come.

       @nixCraft ... I  have one PC loaded with 11 as a sort of testbed device.After reading about this last night, I ordered new SSD's and it will absolutely have a fresh Linux install by the weekend.

       @nixCraft SCHOOL DISTRICTS  are now forcing their employees to work on pcs reimaged with Windows 11 for 'security'.  Surely the idiot Superintendents were smitten by the sales pitch and shiny objects shown in return for selling everyone's privacy.
