CoPilot+ PCs, Windows Recall, Keylogging Privacy Invasions!

Microsoft made some recent changes to Windows 11 which abuses privacy in multiple ways. But remember that Microsoft is not alone. The move to break our privacy with AI is something the competion started with first. Now they're playing catch up but doing so in the most aggressive way with the help of OpenAI.

Same here, when it becomes impossible to run windows 7 on any new PC I probably will stop doing .NET development and go full Linux. This tendency at Microsoft to emulate abuses that are happening on mobile platforms and apple devices and become heralds of any new crappy trend is too much for users to keep turning a blind eye on their abuse and incompetence. Games are no longer a valid reason to be forced to use their OS (unless one is a hardcore gamer that absolutely must run every new title that comes out, steam is good enough to have enough of a gaming library), productivity software has long been up to date on Linux, the only leverage Microsoft still has comes from large active directory deployments but even those have decent enough (lacking in options and policy integration at every level of the OS and software but good enough for most use cases) Linux equivalents. Too bad for them but they won't be missed after this persistence in being abusive. Morality of this is: don't invest time learning software systems that are going to disappear.

Or without doing it directly, that someone has information about me on their PC, such as photos taken the previous summer, medical data, why they are in a hospital, or a thousand other ways.

Downplaying the usefulness of this tech is a mistake. That it is so insanely useful is part of what makes it so dangerous.

[@robbraxmantech]

[@robbraxmantech]

BTW the reason I don't like using Zorin is because it looks too much like Windows. LOL

[@laylasmart]

@@robbraxmantech Exactly, Zorin makes Windows users feel like at home without being on Windows, and it also have many things install as default like Windows App Support and PipeWire so windows software which do not have a Linux version will work there. For general knowledge about the reason that made made move to Zorin is that I got a new laptop with Windows 11 on it, and when I tried to install Windows 10, I needed to get an external drivers so Windows will be able to identify the NVME drive, and after I finished the installation, I got the Blue Screen Of Death. With Zorin, the installation was easy. No external drivers were needed. The laptop was quickly running. Since I have some excellent third party software both for Audio and Video which are windows and mac only. The only issue is to know how to run them with Wine and Bottles which I do not know anything about. So even If I'll find an equivalent software on Linux at the same level or even better, I have too many things I did with those software on windows and I cannot give them up. I hope that everything will work well with Zorin. I look at it as an adventure. We have until the end of 2025 when Microsoft will stop Windows 10 support, so I think until then I will get some control over Linux and it's terminal to be able to leave Windows forever. One thing is for sure, Microsoft announcement on AI and Recall which made me move to Linux and tell people all over to use Linux. I do not think that there's a better to promote Linux and give everyone a reason to move to Linux. So right now, Zorin is a winning horse for Windows users. Later on, we can try different flavors of Linux. People simply want to be able to do their craft without the hassle of a greedy and controlling company. Any Linux distro that will give a person the needed tools for doing the craft, that distro will be used by that person, and that's fine.

That's the thing, Microsoft is positioning itself as safeguarding data and promoting cybersecurity in enterprise environments. The Sentinel, Defender ATP suite is built to purpose for this, and many companies (including mine) are viewing this cybersecurity package, along with Intune for MDM and MAM. They view the visibility into endpoints as part of their DLP and data protection plan. Mind you, I can see in the Sentinel portal, everything you are doing. I can see in Defender every application and plug in installed on your device. I can see what IP you are logging in from and what devices and locations you are using. It can even flag for me when you sign in from an unusual location, say, from a VPN. It shows me the location you're logging in from. All of this is being tied in to DLP - what device did you log in from? What is the device ID? Why are you signing in from an iPhone 12 when you were using an iPhone 10? Why did you sign in from an iPad? Is that your primary device? Also, your .NET framework is out of date and subject to this CVM with a vulnerability score of 9.3.....you really should remediate that by removing this specific filepath identified by Defender as having this vulnerability installed on this specific device. And so on. Microsoft has integrated itself as a DLP and malware management platform for enterprises. And it does this THROUGH scanning and detecting unusual activity. This is what cybersecurity is. It isn't isolation - it's a comprehensive, secure monitoring platform that your network and security administrators can see. And we want to be able to wipe your company data and we want administrative access to your personal phone with Outlook and Microsoft Authenticator installed on the device.

@notjustforhackers4252 I'm 100% sure the info on your system is also the info you research online. Stuff you like, sites you visit, not to mention link you to your friend and family.

Today like yesterday we say "install Linux, and you will no longer have problems", but a neophyte who approaches it for the first time is being given the illusion of a perfect world. Even on Linux you need to pay a lot of attention "nowday". Some Linux distros like Ubuntu, bypass ATP and use Snap even if you don't want it, they pose just as much potential risk. Certain software can only be installed via snap, and there begins the problem, and even if you don't use snap you would be forced.

The reason why I left Linux and moved to using Windows was for doing programming using the Win32 API, the Microsoft compiler, and the COM library for creating desktop applications on Windows. Also because Windows has built in support for the AutoHotKey programming language, which Linux doesn't have, as far as I know. Also Linux doesn't have full support for OneNote either. It only has support for the OneNote web editor, which is not so full fledged, and is very cumbersome to use.

That's it - I'm re-installing OS/2 WARP

fortunately there is still such a thing as EUROPE with its separate Laws & Regulations where Recall doesn't stand a chance because of the Violation of Privacy !!

[@notjustforhackers4252]

Yeah.... you know, you should really read the EU's ( not Europe ) "digital services act" in full. They probably asked for this level of surveillance.

[@JanDahl]

Since it's done locally, don't be so sure.

I wouldn't put faith in ANY government. Company are getting this brazen because the environment (govt) allows it - promotes it.

Rob, There’s a glitch in the video! At 6:36

[@Angus.MacGyver]

The first programmer to make a permanent Copilot+ Recall remover/uninstaller would have my $$$. A quick total disabler would also suffice.

[@notjustforhackers4252]

So you would be prepared to pay money to fight with an operating system?

[@msromike123]

Interesting that you bought a Windows Microsoft Surface Copilot+ PC laptop. So, you can have an NPU so that you can go in and immediately disable Recall? This is bullshit, plain and simple. Your credibility is zero.

[@mattferdon1708]

Thank god for linux.

[@AwesomeCats-k9n]

Also, thanks to Linus Torvalds (the creator of the linux kernel).

[@merrillalbury8214]

Maybe time to switch to Linux

[@dirtysink373]

I have switched to it over this :)

[@RMForbes505]

I replaced Windows 11 with LMDE 6 on my laptop last week because of this issue. I put LMDE 6 on my desktop a few months ago because my 6th generation I-3 6100 is not supported in Windows 11 so the move was easy and obvious for me.

[@ContagiousRepublic]

They will use it to detect potentially crime related actions, like buying small plastic containers, and have the AI decide if a raid is warranted with a chatGPT level of accuracy. Pharmacies will get raided as if they were an illegal drug lab....

[@AlainPaulikevitch]

Thank you Rob for opposing all those abuses. Sadly this understanding of how unacceptable this all is will probably not reach a mainstream audience any time soon as non tech savvy people are usually very important society members that do not have any time to spare on such nerdy considerations, but eventually Microsoft will fade away because of this abusive attitude where customers are treated like idiots that do not matter. I have mixed feelings about this prediction as the love/hate relationship we all have to that company is an integral part of computer history but it seems like a necessity at this point.

In 1990 we had Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall 22 years later (2012) there was a remake of Total Recall, only worse But then 2024 came around, and this time we're facing the worst of them all: Windows (Copilot+) Recall
