Yeah me too. I tried searching around but it’s hard to find something that’s not sci-fi related about this topic. It might also be called “kledging” from what I read, but not sure if that’s the exact same thing.

Yes, of course.

Yeah not to be obtuse here, but I think the fear is over sensationalized. I haven’t seen it in person, but it seems like this is a totally new product that is similar to idea of browser history, but adds in some modern features. I would like to check it out.

That’s not correct. Based on the documentation, Windows Setup has an option to enable/disable the feature on first boot.

The documentation also says it doesn’t capture incognito windows and I mentioned in my other comment that you can turn it off temporarily and permanently. It doesn’t run all the time no matter what, like some of the comments have suggested.

Here’s a screenshot of the config page with a simple toggle to turn off:

Hmm that didn’t sound right so I had to look it up. Microsoft says there’s a way to pause the recall snapshot functionality for a set amount of time, like an incognito mode:

Pause or resume snapshots To pause recall, select the Recall icon in the system tray then Pause until tomorrow.  Snapshots will be paused until they automatically resume at 12:00 AM. When snapshots are paused, the Recall system tray icon has a slash through it so you can easily tell if snapshots are enabled. To manually resume snapshots, select the Recall icon in the system tray and then select Resume snapshots.

I don’t understand why there’s so much FUD around this product…

I keep hearing all the rabble rousing about this from a security perspective, but is there not an incognito mode to the Recall capability?

Anyone on Lemmy play this game? Is it any good?

Looks to me like another moba copy and paste.

Agreed. As a fan, I’m sad to hear about “Intercept Games’ impending demise”, but they should do the right thing and pull from Steam.

😂😂😂

Yeah but how do they smell 👀

What movie/tv show is this from?

Thanks for the link, but I still do not see where it says “Microsoft blocked apps because of Russian dev.”

The dev says that it’s related to depreciated features, not the country of origin:

Well, this has to do with myriad feature flags around copilot and working area hacks MS is doing. But generally classic taskbar is dead code and 24H2 is going bring only degradations and pain.

I don’t think that’s how Tesla owners feel. 🤔 I think most are pretty happy. (Me included)

boil and bleach the duck placenta off of the egg

What on earth.

Is this a non-US thing? I’ve never heard of this practice and I worked for a farmer that raised chickens and sold eggs.

Hmm. Russia or Russian programmers were not in the article. The only reason was performance:

It is possible that Microsoft blocked those apps due to a higher number of crashes on build 26100, which is allegedly version 24H2 RTM build.

Very excited about this. Some strategy games are a pain to play with the controller (Cities: Skylines, Stellaris, Dune: Spice Wars).

I am shocked! SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked.

Cute teef

Love this idea. What should the 13th month be named?
