Fuck you Microsoft. I do not want this. Damn near no one wants this. This is a security state wet dream. Fuck. Off.

If you are not moving everything to Linux already you should be. If you don't do much other than stream/read email/search or read the news you won't even notice the difference other than your system working better for many years longer.

Oh, I do not believe you for one second this will actually be turned off by default or wont just randomly enable itself with a update at some point. MS has a record of doing shit like that.

From the post:

>Three months after pulling previews of the controversial Windows Recall feature due to public backlash, Microsoft says it has completely overhauled the security architecture with proof-of-presence encryption, anti-tampering and DLP checks, and screenshot data managed in secure enclaves outside the main operating system. The feature, which uses artificial intelligence to create a searchable digital memory of everything ever done on a Windows computer, will also be turned off by default and fitted with tools to delete it forever from the Windows operating system.

“You can remove it completely, never be turned on in future,” Weston said.

Exactly. You may not know if its on.. But it will be on. Oh, and all of that shit is going to be sent to "the cloud" without your authorization (I am sure it will be somewhere in the EULA/TOU) but it will be automatic. Its a "backup" Not a spy tool.

Remove Windows. Use Linux. At this point, I don't think you can have your drives online for dual boot. You need one drive for the boot loader. 1 Drive for your windows (gaming) setup that you ONLY ever use for gaming. 1. Drive for your real (Linux system) and a physical switch to disconnect power to something like your "Linux" drive so the Windows drive cannot attempt to access it even if it wants to.

You know, I did this years ago because it made dual boot easier (2 drives in cages, pull one and you boot from the other). Looks like that is where we are again.

Just stop using windows. It is a virus and has been for decades.

1 Drive for your windows (gaming) setup that you ONLY ever use for gaming

Outside of anti-cheat, there's 0 reason to stay on windows for gaming. Everything runs in proton or wine, nowadays.

I agree to a degree. Sometimes the performance impact makes the game unusable. I am for just saying "don't play that game then" but that is how you lose people. Give them the option and get them to avoid MS as much as possible and only use it when you have to. Small wins are how you get the big wins in the end.

The more people that are showing that they spend the majority of time in Linux rather than windows, the more dev's and companies take notice and make sure their games work well even if they are in proton or wine. You have to start somewhere.

I have been running "windows games" in Wine since the early to mid 2000's and it was a PITA but when it worked well it was great. Its pretty damn easy now compared to that and I want it to keep going in that direction.

Mickeyshit says that it's encrypted so that not even an admin can see it.

This is such a fucking juicy target that there will be a lot of money spent on finding flaws in this system. What software does, software can undo.

Ignoring software, if the past decade has taught us anything, it's that backdoors are cooked into basically every piece of hardware in a computer. If a firmware opening hasn't already been planted with this specific exploit in mind, I'll fuck a nigger

That's the finding flaws part.

But the software thing is something I read in a tech manual long ago, the author was talking about the illusion of security you get from such things as encryption.

If what you have is valuable enough, someone is going to be willing to spend the money to figure out how to get it.

I'll fuck a nigger

I admire your confidence but whew laddie you're playing with the devil here...
