I had a buddy in the UK I chatted with on this thing in the early days. We thought we were so cool using it. We were not.

Cool guys use dialup BBS.
Oh cool, Cunningham’s Law in action.
Here’s an updated way to bypass it. This Youtuber is a little cheerful-cheesy, but the info is good.

I am stuck with Windows 10 & 11 at work, on multiple various machines. Also some versions of Windows Server.
It honestly feels hostile towards the user now. For myriad reasons. It’s a constant battle for me to turn pointless crap off that it keeps turning back on with the next big update.

No joke. This is a crime problem not a “EV bad, gas good” thing. I’m sure gas stations get ripped off / vandalized all the time, too.
Begun, the Clone Wars have.
It’s funny from the outside for sure. Until some crazy old creep tries to put in a launch code. Hopefully, they just give them a fake button to mash. Seems like the smart thing to do.
I feel so bad for tall people on planes. It’s uncomfortable AF for all of us, but you guys have to become human origami just to sit. It’s insane that this shit is legal. I avoid flying as much as possible.
This US election was going to be a no-good-choices shitshow no matter what. But I really dread the AI-amped shitshow we’re gonna get.
Making it opt-in is a much better way to offer this ridiculous “feature”. But I wager there will be future shenanigans. MS is very sneaky and passive-aggressive about pushing sketchy unwanted shit on its customers.
Yes, that is also a big problem. In general you should be very aware in online meetings / screen sharing to be very cautious and deliberate with what you show. That problem has burned a streamer or two. :) Having a boring vanilla “work machine” for that sort of thing is always a good idea. Windows Recall definitely makes this problem worse! You could be doing 100% legit professional ‘work stuff’ and it could still grab things that it shouldn’t (HIPAA and many other potentially sensitive bits of corporate data).
If you disable it, make sure to check on it regularly, as MS loves to turn things back on “for you” after Windows updates run. I’ve already seen some sysadmins saying they will run a scheduled task to make sure it stays dead.
The HIPAA concerns are very alarming. And I agree with the spirit if the article. However, I’m not sure the article is correct when it says Recall cannot be disabled. I’ve already seen other articles telling you how to turn it off. The fact that it’s opt-out and not opt-in is a huge issue, though.
You can vote for more than one candidate, but you rank them by order of preference. This way, third party and independent candidates actually have a chance.
