Microsoft enabled the notorious "Recall" with the last update (for Windows 11 copilot+ enabled pcs only). It's part of the OS and can't be uninstalled. This software stores metadata about EVERYTHING that appears on your screen, including passwords/urls/images/videos/any messages you send or emails etc

To disable this gross spyware, run the following as admin on the command line:

Dism /Online /Disable-Feature
/Featurename:Recall

My next machine is going to be an old machine with Linux installed. This is just ridiculous.

@chu @ciaranmak why an old PC, it runs perfectly fine on new hardware and is even more fun that way 🤔

Why create e waste when I don't have to? I have an old machine that can't do windoze bloatware but will be fine running sane software
