This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Would be interesting to see how microsoft kills windows in the long term and then be shocked as to how this happened
Kind of like how they fucked up and let zoom become the pandemic program everyone used despite skype being so established it had already become a verb like google? M$ really racking up those wins recently
Zoom was so bad, too. It was so unreliable, it was missing basic features, the UI was unfriendly.
They've improved on each of these things slightly since then.
But it's a testament to how bad Skype was that Zoom was found to be preferable.
Zoom was already everywhere in the business world before the pandemic.
Seems like Skype was only for personal users who were not very techy and wanted to make free calls overseas.
So reading more into it, it's (currently) only on the bogus copilot+ PCs they were peddling? I'm happily on bazzite, but this is good news for my stubborn mates that haven't touched copilot+ shit.
Oh give it time it will appear after an update on everything else, "accidentally".
laughs in Linux
There's nothing to laugh about. The maniacally evil thing about recall is, that it doesn't matter what you do to keep your devices clean. If you interact with someone who doesn't keep his devices clean, which is 100% of us, you're on recall
Good thing I have no friends to interact with then! Take that, Microsoft!
I opt-out.
Me too... well using linux is technically opting out to that right?
It's the only way to be sure Microsoft won't sneakily turn it back on.
At least until they sneak it into VS Code's telemetry. ...only sort of joking.
Just like opting out of using a Microsoft account to log into windows, the grips will get tighter and tighter over time until you are forced to use butt hole ID to unlock your screen.
Roll it back in please.
My windows10 install still asks me to complete the setup...lol no
This comment is critical of Microsoft because the company name was mentioned in the article.
