#Microsoft raising #Insecurity AGAIN

TOTAL #RECALL ^2

arstechnica.com/security/2025/

#Arstechnica #DanGoodin raises a good point, it is not only YOUR computer that you need worry about but anyone else who processes your #PII or anything you send them and isnt willing or able to opt out.

Its the same crap as when Whatscrapp was all the rage and no one gave a damn about it harvesting their address books.. but on a much larger and insidous scale.

What a nightmare..

Microsoft Flickentag 2025-04 und WhatsApp für Windows

Ja, schon wieder ist ein Monat vergangen, und Microsoft (MS) beschert uns mit Updates. Es lohnt sich wieder einmal: Insgesamt werden damit 125 Sicherheitslücken geflickt. Von denen stuft MS selbst 11 als 'kritisch' ein. Eine andere

@arstechnica yeah, for me, Windows is only used for gaming. A souped-up Xbox.

And i don’t mind if they snapshot that. 😄

It’s hazardous to use it for anything more. MacOS has gotten much better, particularly when you enable the end-to-end encryption.

Linux, I have faith. Not much more though because I never bother to dig under the hood at everything I use.

Faith in others in Linux to be vigilant for me in the sources.

But faith is faith. 😏

This will affect you even if you haven't enabled the so called "feature" or not even using Windows. This can ultimately spy on your conversations with somebody who uses Recall.

De Windblows gebruikers krijgen het gewoon.
Omdat het moet? Nee omdat er mee verdient kan worden, met jullie data.

Weigeren en deïnstalleren zal wel heel lastig worden, net zoals Cortana. Tjee wat een kl.te bedrijf is dat geworden. Zeker als je ontdekt dat 547 partners mee genieten van je data.

@arstechnica If the thing they’re bragging about is “it’s now possible to quickly find and get back to any app, website, image, or document just by describing its content.” Does that mean that—despite their claims it was fhe best #windows ever—maybe finding things under windows actually sucked and they knew it?

It’s sad that for even my more technically inclined friends that switching to Linux is just a complete dead end non-starter for them.

They don’t even have any Windows only dependencies and for gaming…we mostly just play games together and I’ve been gaming on Linux with them for years.

I’ve brought it up a couple times as a couple of them are upgrading their PCs and almost got laughed at.

In case you forgot about Microsoft Recall, it looks like it will reappear in your Copilot+ computer soon running Windows 11.

I am sure you are all thrilled with the idea of a screenshot being taken of your screen every 3 seconds, right?

@thurrott So, I see whats happening here, the focus is #Copilot PC's get exclusives, but anything prior to July 2024 is planned obsolescence. I am so glad I am down to just one #Windows PC, once it stops getting feature updates, its a big spend on a #Mac Studio and Studio Display.
