Frankly, Linux never looked so bright. 2 - Microsoft wants to be Apple. They want to force you on new hardware, they want to force you do use the system the way THEY think you should, etc. Again, I'm already messing around with Linux Mint to try and activate SCrivener, which is the software I use to work, once I'm able to do it on my laptop, my PC will be updated to Linux too. And I doubt I would ever go back to Windows, because it's clear that Microsoft wants to force these on us, a simple example of that is the fact that Windows 10 is losing support next year, but there's no new Windows version, only 11, and the Windows 11 is getting those updates no one asked for.

At end of life for Win 10, I will keep using 10 until I can no longer do so due to exploits or whatever. I tried to put Linux on the laptop, but it will not install even using Ventoy or even burning the ISO to a USB with Rufus. It runs through the installation until the end and then stops. So, I am thinking I could use a VM on my Win 10 and use Linux that way. Don't know if this will work or not. My desktop uses Win 11, but if they try to make me use Recall on my Win 11, I will revolt. Ya, Microsoft also said Win 10 would be the last ISO, but then they made Win 11, So, don't trust Microsoft. Microsoft just couldn't leave well enough alone with Win 7 by making Win 8! Then they made Win 10 which I like very much, but then they made Win 11 which has turned me off to AI and anything Microsoft does. I will never have to worry about Recall or AI. If I must, I will switch to Linux and Microsoft's market share will continue to fall. Tens of thousands of people use older PCs with older OS distros.

If you have Windows home, you don't have BitLocker, and if you do have BitLocker in Windows Pro you can either not use it or uncheck the box it and it uninstalls. So that's another potential none issue. If you want privacy and no updates then turn off the background intelligent transfer service and the Windows update services with a simple checkbox, and phoning home becomes a potential nonissue issue too. If you don't believe in allowing Microsoft to take Telemetry data which is none identifiable usage and helps Microsoft to plan for what people want in the next operating system then that's your choice. Did you know that in Windows Pro, there's a group policy editor and a local security policy editor app. In the group policy editor alone, there are 4,225 checklist options where you can turn Windows basically inside out and have it as locked down as you want, replace parts of the UI and change how it operates, what appears and what doesn't what is clickable and what isn't.

For all of you thinking of going to Linux, do it! Small learning curve but it looks and acts like windows and there are plenty of versions to pick from. I have both, separately and on dual boot. The information you get from this channel is mind blowing sometimes and that is why I am a subscriber. I quit relying on MS years ago but that is how I make my money but personally I work off a Linux Mint box almost exclusively. AI sounds great but at the rate it is growing it is not going to be too long off where there is no turning back.

[@esecallum]

a million distros to choose from and a wrong slash can delete your whol HD

[@atomicskull6405]

You don't need to dual boot you can imprison Windows in a VM under linux with GPU passthough.

[@dingokidneys]

@@esecallum Can happen with Windows too, especially if you are trying to use one of the command line methods to install Windows without a MS account or debloat or whatever. Linux has better protection against that sort of thing and better recovery tools. And if you do nuke your system and have to rebuild and restore from backup, you get your system back without having to hunt all over the internet for drivers or find the software you depend on. Drivers come with the kernel and software is all readily available in the distro repository.

[@Bluestarferies]

Linux is a joke for most people. Ya'll think everyone does gaming and browsing on their pcs. This thing is HORRIBLE for audio production. HORRIBLE. All the major plugins are unavailable, majority of the famous DAWs are unavailable. like what am i supposed to do with Linux?

I bought an Acer computer with no HDD but I stuck in an SSD and loaded windows 7 which it had before and still has the sticker with product key. During OS load it asked for key and promptly said it was invalid. PC wasn't much but that $100 SSD sure was! Is there a way to use the original key? (The 25.character one)

[@petesson1880]

BTW that is an Acer AX1930-UR10P, which was when new, a $500 halfway decent machine. Maybe less than halfway....yeah

[@CyberCPU]

You should have an option to do a phone activation. That should work.

[@petesson1880]

@@CyberCPU The version of 7 64 I installed was Pro not Home that's why the key on the sticker didn't work. I used Rufus and installed home. It installed but now it won't let me install any web browser or even connect to the Internet to windows update and all the drivers are in as well as SP1. All via USB. Internet worked before. Today I downloaded another 7 64 home and installed it as an upgrade. Didn't get rid of the problem. Next thing I do will be format the SSD with easus partition master and try one more time. If that fails screw it it's only an Acer aspire x1930 that cost me $2.50 on auction it included an HP 10" digital picture frame brand new. The Acer didn't have a HDD so I broke out one of my new 1 TB ssd's.

This is sort of a tangent: Are there ATX motherboards available that would take an Intel NPC-included chip? (Whatever the model number of a chip like that is.) I was kind of thinking that the NPC part of a desktop would be in the graphics card, but I guess that isn't the case?

Seriously Apple scans your photo library for child indecent images. In the UK a lot of older dudes have young wifes from Thailand. They look underage so they could be flagged. Every photo library on the phone has AI object recognition on my Galaxy Phone I can search for cars, documents, dogs you name it and with the ability to extract text from pictures all your screenshots are already scanned. You can run but you can't hide. You can turn off as many AI Assist features as possible but to stay incognito is hard work.

[@dntkatz]

I have a PC that I built it has Copilot. It is fully operational I have not really messed with until today when I saw this video. I did try to disable it when I first saw it but could not fins an option. I have the 23H2 currently installed so it may not work after the update.

[@NicolasGali]

After years and years of using Windows....a few weeks ago, I decided to make the switch to Linux as I recently learnt there are ways to game nowadays in that OS. And its great!!!!...Now...Only tested a few games and I am still kinda at the learning process, but man......I dont think im gonna ever go back, especially with allthis survilliance crap we getting on Windows on each release. BTW.....I ve been watching ur channel for long, and even tho i changed OS, I will continue to do so, u know, just for curiosity and see how deep the rabbit hole its gonna turn out in the end. Also, would be great if u could make Linux reviews as well not only for gaming but for general stuff like u already do for windows.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Linux gaming is the main challenge. First I was running Bnet/WoW in Steam Compatibility but that broke in an update. Now I'm on Bottles (tried Lutris also, usual) GE Proton 9-5 container, it works really well. I'll likely play other games later some BG3, D4 etc. I'm happy with Nobara KDE right now but I've distro hopped in the past a lot. I was playing the same game(s) under Manjaro a couple years back, that was fine too. Most common thing to break on the backend are the game launchers, bnet one broke last 2 years ago, which put me back with 10/11 as dual boot. Am hoping to just stay, ext4 is a great file system, can still access my NTFS files, even plug in old NAS if I wanted (20TB HDD and 2 2TB NVMEs don't really need to worry about storage as much anymore, have a bunch of HDDs around here too for backup. Right now, I'm happy 12900KF 4090, don't think I need to go back, both the Nvidia and AMD GPU rigs are working great for everything. I'm stable with each system, which is what I always wanted from a user experience. Everything open source exists, Office (Libre, Open etc), Kdenlive, OBS, GIMP, not much need to go back unless something exists in Windows that doesn't work well, but that gap is closing. I don't play Fortnite, so I think I can stay Linux.

Screen captures every 2 seconds, that's just fantastic for the Space and Defence industry and Chinese hackers too.

MS is about as unprofessional and unworkable as you can get, their decision makers are clearly living in an alternate reality, I've yet to find a serious use for AI (or patten recognition it's not intelligence) and as for an OS without a start menu, insanity?

"have you ever wanted to go back to that website that has a picture of an actor from a certain movie" is'nt that feature called HISTORY in your actual browser? so, why would you need something like recall that records everything you do on your computer, even bank transactions, thats unbelievable stupid and certainly a security risk

[@dathyr1]

I am also only on Windows 10 systems. About this AI stuff and RECALL, I know it takes that special computer requirements for Windows 11. Though, I do notice now that my Windows 10 system has COPILOT running on the system. By clicking on my lower right corner ICON it brings up a COPILOT feature to start asking questions to it. There is no RECALL on Windows 10 so far like Windows 11 has. I discovered the COPILOT feature couple weeks ago by accidently clicking on that ICON to see what it did. I will definitely not go to Linux. I am too old to start learning new systems even though I have been doing software for many years - just never did Linux. I think Windows 10 will work quite a while even after October 2025. Anyway, thanks for the video. Taake care.

This AI technology are not I is interesting at all. And this privacy you taking about, in EU have GDPR law and US Department / Agencies must have more law on right side before this came reality of MS Windows 11 (AI versions with this copilot plus pc watermark stick)...

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

@14:36 Contrary to your misinformation, Recall IS NOT turned ON by default. That may change with the introduction of future Windows versions, but at this time, it is NOT ON by default. Also, did you NOT mention that all the information (and even more) that Recall gives you has been available for over a decade and a half using tools that any competent IT guy can use. You just don't get screenshots which I find practically useless except to screenshot a computer issue (which can be done by snipping tool). Finally, trying to describe a picture of something you've seen into a microphone for Recall to attempt to bring up will be much more inaccurate and time consuming than simply clicking on browser recent history and clicking on the obvious URL which the picture had been seen. In fact, if you history is too stuffed with random websites, than I would just use a search engine. Recall doesn' take screenshots of every screen change and is highly likely to not contain what you were looking for among all the other crap you look at daily. I'd let the nascent technology mature a few years before making dire predictions.

[@CyberCPU]

Microsoft just pulled recall from the release. They plan to make it off by default now. At the time this video was recorded, that wasn't the case. It was on by default and had major security issues. That's why it got pulled. It will be back in an update. I'm filming a video this week on it.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

@@CyberCPU Thanks for the response. Microsoft is listening to it's security researchers and acting accordingly. That's good for everyone. Introducing new features, like Recall, needs delays as they sort out privacy and security issues. If you’re curious to try Recall, you can explore it on the specific build 26100.712 available in the Release Preview channel. Unsure if they made this beta release unavailable yet.

[@nahakuu]

That is first good thing they did. They put the spyware behind hardware requirements. Only the public spyware, the secret spyware runs on intel 2nd gen anyway. That is why I use for all Linux with custom firewall to block what I do not want to have internet.

I have a hard time hearing voices, I always enable closed caption, voice enactments, if possible. I love Window's Live Captions, I use it on every video I watch on my PC. It really helps with live streams, it's way better then KZbin's auto CC. Windows AI filters out the "umms", the "uhhhs", and other filler sounds, that other auto CC's don't. It makes makes following what they are saying so much easier. Also, I preferred the Win11 audio, even though the audio quality is way way worse. All I heard was his voice. I didn't have to concentrate on filtering out other sounds so I could hear what he is saying. I hope they enable that feature for outgoing audio. It would really help on videos like this, were the main thing is what the presenter is saying.

[@Mx-Alba]

If your interpretation is correct, all your sarcasm and then some is totally warranted.

[@Inventors_Toolbox]

So the company mandating I make an account with them and mandating they get to hold a copy of the encryption keys to my computer is telling me the screenshots my computer is taking will be safe because they are only on my local encrypted drive? Legal experts out there. If the government demands microsoft turn over the encryption keys to my pc do I have standing to object, cuz the way I read it, I don't. They likely can take anything they want from a 3rd party that you 'voluntarily' turned over to them.

[@rdsii64]

Can your NPU work with an open source AI?

[@msmith2016]

@CyberCPU Tech - I will not be going forward to win 11. Of course I will move everything over to linux that I can but I need win or mac for Adobe products. Is there any possibility of running server products that would have all the AI and spying removed that will run win64 programs on the desktop? Now, if they're not removing that crap from the server products then I think its time to turn out the lights.

[@CyberCPU]

You will probably be better off running desktop software with those components striped out. There will definitely be ways.

[@bvbvf]

Well at least you need an NPU with 40 Tops to have the spyware enabled. Guess in the future I have to make sure to only buy CPU's with either no NPU at all or one with less than 40 Tops. About the Win11 requirements though, I don't think they are that big of a deal, I mean from what I know any remotely modern computer (2017/2018 onwards/ 6-7 years old) should be able to run it so I don't see much of an issue with them. By the time you actually have to upgrade to Win 11 there will be 8-9 years worth of cpu's which are compatible. And I assume most people, while not upgrading every year or two, probably do upgrade around every 7-10 years. I do that too, I got my first computer at around 2008, upgraded 5 years later and that new computer stayed with me for 9 years (2013-2022) at which point I upgraded again.
