Didnt they try this same shit with IE decades ago until they were forced to decouple it from explorer?

Looks like I picked the right year to switch to Linux on my primary pc.

What happens if you copy explorer.exe from a prior release of Windows and replace the recall-infested version?

The companies will do anything to make having the ai capacities built locally an acceptable thing via "cool" features like this or apples, and I think it is because once the devices can do the processing locally, it allows them to stop processing it themselves on their servers. This will also allow them to use microphone and why not camera data as additional data points without having to send and process the actual microphone data. The only local software is open source AI implementations that are being used by FOSS applications, with no network access.

To me this isn't about shareholder value and buzzwords, this is just the excuse to shove it into the OS. It's a more long term game they are playing: the one of reducing their costs and improving the value/accuracy of the data that they get, since it will be pre-digested 100% locally in the background, which is not limited by network latency and bandwidth.

Explore a beautiful Windows-first design. Manage all your files with increased productivity. Work across multiple folders with tabs. And so much more.

It looks nice, and has extra features like tabs, tagging 7zip/archive management, cloud drives, git integration, comparing file hashes, etc.

The only issue I had was performance, it took a long time to start each time. I'm planning on trying it again sometime later

Fuuuuuck....well....my laptop was my last windows device. It came with 11 installed, and the only reason I keep using 11 is because I have had no success in running my DAW in wine. Guess it's time to give it a go again....

What the actual fuck, microsoft?

I won't upgrade past 10 anyways and if I can't run 10, back to Linux I go.

This is absolutely insane
My condolences to all Windows 11 users.

It's becoming common knowledge that:

• It's not a matter of if but when will xyz service/application be breached and what are the potential damages it could do to me and others?

"I assume every online service is not if; it's when is it going to be breached? Right? So I operate under that assumption, that everything is going to be breached at some point. And so that's why Recall was so scary to me where it's like, I don't care how secure they say it is, like you look at Spectre and Meltdown no one thought these things were going to affect millions of CPUs and here we are, right?

Thank goodness for Linux.
