The "Windows Hello" facial recognition feature does more than unlock your PC. It also takes a daily "mood selfie" and sends it to the Microsoft cloud server. This data is then used to predict global happiness trends or index, which are sold to major corporations for market research 🙃

Yeah name a one human who is fucking happy @ 9 am pushing their face at window PC camera 🤬

@nixCraft I'm worried if this is serious. Please tell me this is joke.

@jorijn of course it is a joke for laughs, but there's a some of truth to the humor. In a world where tech giants operate on a business model that often prioritizes user data collection, the line between helpful features and invasive monitoring can feel blurry. the jokes talking a real world concern. the constant demand for data by "money hungry companies". windows recall feature is a good example of such invasive feature sold as helpful productivity feature. Haha

@jorijn l I wasn’t gonna post clarifications about the joke but then I noticed the panic in the comments. 😂 this post highlights how much trust people have in the big tech. Haha. It is a sad state of how much people trust in the big tech

@nixCraft

No, this highlights that people think that the big tech really does that crap. Everyone using it knows, that that's technically possible and that there is an incentive for big tech to just do that. Gather data. Feed AI. Generate revenue. So, basically for every possible horror scenario you can think of, the question could only be "when is it live?"
