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

I am trying to be confident that there will be people that will come up with solutions to uninstall or remove this on Github (ironically). This will always be a fight between MSFT and devs but it’s hard to say what’s possible and not on Arm (as I am no expert).
@walterburns I’m sure some amazing devs will find a workaround… just depends how hack-y it is. Which kind of leaves me concerned because the more hack-y solution, generally the less available it is to your average person.
@avoidthehack @walterburns and every Win11 update will enabled it back. that is how MSFT works. They have gone completely crazy now.
@[email protected] It’s a good thing Windows is not important to me. I’m on Mac for my entertainment needs and for everything else, I have my good ol stable Mint and Fedora.
@[email protected] True… this is why I treat my Windows machine as a terminal now.
Linux for everything else.
