This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The struggle is real for M$ - recall is a Security Incident waiting to happen.
I don't think this will bury MS because they can easily market this to enterprise clients ( if they haven't already ). Recall is a particularly useful tool for any employer that wants to keep track of everything employees do, especially in an age of WFH. They probably figured they can take the PR hit from users concerned about privacy and move on unaffected.
Any enterprise working with sensitive data certainly has to disable the feature. And turns out, that's most enterprises.
I have heard very little, if any, enthusiasm about this. Nobody seems to be excited about it at all.
Lol! How incredibly detached from reality!
Nobody cares! Well a few people care that make a big fuss, but most people don't ever think about their os. I bet a pretty big percentage don't know what os they use and I bet more than half don't know what version of the os they are using.
Nobody cares!
This. Normal users give zero shit, they neither understand nor care about any of this. If they can use a cool feature they will. How many use Facebook again? What do they care about privacy? Exactly.
They lost trust from some niche <10 %, that's it, from which most use/want to use Linux anyway.
Microsoft has already taken a step back: Microsoft implements drastic changes to Recall after criticism
And no one is going to trust them on this. They’ve burned that bridge.
It's what they should have done from the beginning, there must be a horde of MSFT employees holding back the urge of saying "told you so" to their boss right now lol
I really hope the damage is done. They need to be knocked down a peg. This all should have been done first. Whoever thought this was a good idea is horrible.
Microsoft should go further and further with this so that windows becomes worse so that less people use it.
