    Just saw [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9FRadIkkE0) this morning (safe for work), and it's worth noting that in Windows 11 24H2 Explorer apparently links to Recall. Of course, their PR blah, blah says you can disable it (for now), but it's the whole frog slowly boiling thing going on. If it records your entire screen, you'd think there would be no reason for Explorer to link to it directly... unless it's also doing other things we don't know about. Will I install 24H2 personally? Probably. Will I make sure I keep up with Linux if this gets worse? Damn right I will. Food for thought.

      The last commentary I saw was that Recall was not going to be enabled by default. Having said that, it's possible when the update is installed they give a decepto-prompt where it requires control-alt-left-fist-to-the-genitals to decline.

        ...not to mention that, since just about everything in Windows is scriptable nowadays, I'm betting any script running as admin would be allowed to flip the setting.

          data mining everything on your computer. This appalls me. But it's not just Microsoft. I've used Quicken for decades, and a few years ago, they went to the dark side. They consistently re-enable backups of your files to the "cloud" where they assure all users the data is safe and private. Girlfriend looking at me: "please explain your hand in my pants...."

            Gotta agree with you there, buddy. Their customer support is corrupt too, as far as I'm concerned.
