They aren't? They are limiting what you can use their product, MS Paint, to draw. I'm sure there will/are plenty of 3rd party options that won't/don't have these limitations. If that isn't good enough for you then you can try using a different OS. You own the hardware, but Windows has always been a licensed product and was never something to technically owned.

[@CoreyDWillis]

I love the idea of everything being processed on device, but after the whole Eufy camera debacle, we can't really trust that companies are actually keeping up their end of the bargain.

[@TheNathanChronicles]

Recall means I have to let Windows know what I’m doing on my PC. Sounds like a privacy nightmare.

[@bw4593]

Ok recall, while a bit “creepy” would actually be a game changer for me. I’m super disorganized, and think “oh I’ll remember the name of that website or video when I am ready to buy/do it in a week” and totally forget it, then to avoid that I will make tons of bookmarks or shortcuts or notes etc that get lost and make no sense. I really like the idea personally.

[@ImAltair1]

first thing i do when i get it is to disable all that is AI. And if i cant, i simply wont use it.

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

It all should be disabled default honestly.

[@Volnas97]

So if I don't have NPU in my laptop I won't get the AI fluff or I will, but It will just be slowing down my CPU or GPU?

[@Bluestar1079]

Recall is a privacy nightmare. I'm going to post this on social media that has every bit of my life on it. Using my phone that tracks my location down to the block. I want my privacy!!! Siri, Alexa, you hear that.

Thanks, I hate it. This is a privacy nightmare and feels completely dystopian.

[@NormanF62]

Just block an app from phoning home to Microsoft or to the app maker.

@@NormanF62 it's incredibly easy for MS to disable the app if it can't phone home. I have zero trust in them.

" it's a 100% encrypted on your device" like I'd trust them that they don't have the decrypter of that encryption

[@MudSluggerBP]

Takes a screenshot every time something changes … not Orwellian at all 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@michaelmu6765]

How well encrypted, and how secured is the decryption mechanism for recall? If its all on device, what's stopping malicious actor to pretend to open it as a user to then have it decrypted and a bunch of data stolen?

[@SimonVaIe]

Whats stopping a malicious actor from stealing your data now, without recall? It's not like you always log off every website, encrypt your local data with third party encryption software etc. do you? What i'm saying is, if someone got access t your machine and login information, it's game over anyways lol.

[@cayennest]

How to disable windows recall. Trending video on youtube when this launches.

[@DMPLAYER1000]

Just would like to add: Prism is not an “emulator” for x86 to ARM, but a translation layer that allows for apps to still run natively on that processor while converting x86 instruction calls to their ARM equivalents. This is a lot more efficient than an emulator would be, but it would still be optimal to have a native ARM app as compared to using a translation layer.

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

[@gregorygeorge8695]

I am really enjoying the tech arms races that have been springing back to life. Screens are getting brighter and with better displays, chips are getting more performant but with greater efficiency, battery life is getting big leaps.

I don't think the majority want copilot or AI built inside windows. I want windows 11 to operate like windows 7, the Ai and copilot should be optional especially when they are always trying to force you to use an edge browser.

Your linux also will chase AI to compete for sure.

[@Anonicus]

@@rizkipuruze That's not true? Sure, You could use AI on Linux, But a whole lot of people do not want it and if anything else, It will be optional software that could be added through Software Manager or Whatever system package manager that the system carried. Linux isn't a Corporation, A lot of Distro maintainers just want to make a system that works well with what they see fit. I don't see Linux Mint for example adding AI due to them wanting to keep their system to be on par with that Classic Windows experience but with their own Flare. Could I see Ubuntu add it though? Probably, But Who knows. Many people doesn't like AI to begin with, So having Linux Distros to not have AI might actually give Linux an Advantage more than you think.

[@rizkipuruze]

@@Anonicus that's because the idealism comes to play. People who ignore this tech will left behind. Corporate is chasing efficiency. AI really improves productivity. Like it or not. AI will be a mainstream. I don't even like it. But can't deny. Your linux will be on demand to be more powerful. Or your boss who doesn't care except money will start comparing worker with non-AI and worker with AI. unless government really do something

[@JJ-cq6hu]

@@rizkipuruzebest part is that if you don’t want it you can make an operating system without it if you have Linux. Windows and Mac don’t allow people to modify their app list let alone the operating system.
