EgeeI haven't used or installed Windows as an OS is probably 5+ years. And I haven't even touched it in probably 2+ years.
Microsoft Recall feels like a fever dream from an alternate universe. I'm in denial; I refuse to believe it exists.
When Windows 10~ dropped, I read about Bitlocker. It gives Microsoft full unfettered access to your hard drive.
I said: "Hey this seems like kinda a bad idea, right? Microsoft has access to all your things..."
Forums and people said "Nah that's SO MUCH data, Microsoft couldn't possibly store it all, let alone parse it".
Imo Recall is proof they can and have been doing just that.
My question: Why don't more people care?
Yanik Magnan@egeexyz having dealt with BitLocker on the ROG Ally I bought recently and having my local username/password randomly flake out after a Windows Update lock me out of my data, bypassing that with a Microsoft account was the only way for me to get in
the cynical way of seeing it is that BitLocker is too unreliable not to have a cloud backdoor to not constantly lose data randomly 😅 (don’t worry, it’s running Bazzite now)
