This is top tier comedy: Microsoft won the PC war to be benevolent and give it to Linux. How kind of them to shoot themselves in the foot for the good of mankind.
How is this possibly going to be tolerated in business environments?
They pay more for it not being switched on... Or it doesn't call out to home
"pay us money to not do something" sounds like some mob shit
I would guess my company absolutely wants it, but wants the I fo sent only to them.
In fact if they didn't already have something like this installed on our PCs I'd be floored.

Just a tip: if you must use consumer editions of Windows regularly, consider adding an automatic provisioning tool like AME to your workflow.
The example above uses customizable “playbooks” to provision a system the way docker compose would a container image, so it can fill the role of a VM snapshot or PXE in non-virtualized local-only scenarios.
The most popular playbooks strip out AI components and services (there are many more than just Recall) but also disable all telemetry and cloud-based features, replace MS bloatware with preferred OSS, curtail a truckload of annoying Windows behaviors, setup more sensible group policies than the defaults, and so forth.
I have a few custom playbooks for recurring use cases so that, when one presents, I can spin up an instance quickly without the usual hassle and risk.
We did not take the easy path of writing our app in Java or a web-based Java-script heavy framework. Using C# and .NET allows us to craft an experience that minimizes resource use and is very fast.
This got me good. I just love how they try to make using .NET for making a windows application "not the easy path".
Sounds kinda interesting though. If I'm ever so unlucky as to having to use Win11, I will give it a try.
Lol I noticed the same. They evidently have some ongoing internal disagreement as to their target audience. Docs and functionality says “our audience is enterprise developers” but their marketing definitely says “our audience is end users.”
It may be explained by recent partnerships with former custom ISO devs (seeking legitimacy and offering a sizable user base in turn). I expect the plan is eventually to sell premium support for an enterprise toolset, but for now their target audience is the non-dev-but-tech-savvy end user. And those happen to be surprisingly opinionated re: java and electron.

I know what most of these words mean individually
Basically, a playbook is a set of instructions or baselines for how you want the system to look/be setup, and the provisioning tool will engage in however many tasks are required to configure the system to your specifications. I played around with something similar with PowerShell DSC, and its pretty cool to be able to eliminate config drift when it checks against the config and remediates any changes that weren't updated in the playbook.

Well at least there are all kinds of checks and balances to prevent big tech and the US Government from abusing this information, right? Thank goodness we have no reason to worry about it being used for political surveillance and identifying who to send to foreign concentration camps, or anything like that.
This is the highest-quality, shocked Pikachu I've ever seen.
Higher resolution but looks worse imo. Someone probably threw it in illustrator, used that auto vector tool or whatever and exported as high res without fixing the lines.
They say you can disable Recall by keep pornhub videos running in foreground.
You can also disable Recall by using a Linux distro
be more malicious run PH and various porn sites.
Sorry, boss, but this girl-on-girl playlist is to protect our sensitive data from Microsoft
Damn, what's the opposite of 1984?
