For the folks saying install Linux keep in mind you can indirectly be captured by this feature.
For example if you’re playing an online video game you’ll be captured or your chat messages in your messaging app.
Of course, the idea is that there's less risk of that the more people switch.

My work laptop is a Surface 7 with that NPU (miss my Thinkpad T15 already), and it has absolutely zero "Recall" feature that I could find. Company uses W11 Enterprise though, so maybe that has something to do with it?
Yeah, your company IT department probably blocked it with group policy. I suspect most companies will do so if they care about security.

PowerShell:
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Recall" -RemoveI don't trust pushing buttons when I want shit rooted out.
But the terminal is scary…

I run a W10 LTSC VM on both my laptop and desktop for this purpose. I refuse to use Windows on bare metal, but I also understand that some software simply does not exist (nor functions under Wine) on Linux. Things like Adobe Acrobat, which I need for legal things from my lawyer for custody stuff, some vehicle diagnostic software, and software for my fucking labelmaker (Brother PT-D600, broken screen, will fix or replace eventually).
Ya, it's annoying for sure... As I said, chicken and egg type thing. The market share has to be there before these companies will invest anything in linux. You'd think macos would be a gateway to them providing linux support but that doesn't seem to translate well.

Microsoft now activates 'Recall', a Copilot AI feature that's making your private emails & messaging obsolete by saving screenshots of these every few seconds. So what does this Windows update mean, is it really "opt in" and how can you turn it off? Let's take a deep dive!

i'm good.$ man recall
No manual entry for recall -
Watching Windows gets worse and worse is a lot more fun when you don't have to use it.
I use Mint btw.It is sad to see the mental gymnastics people do to justify their inertia.
"It's opt-in!"
"You can disable feature X easily by editing the registry"
"You can install this tool from a shifty site to restore that feature MS disabled"

Emails you write to literally anyone are no longer private the moment it leaves your outbox.
Well, unless you are one of the dozen people using gpg encryption.

Let me guess...
systemctl stop recall?Not for long, systemd is built by Microsoft employee.

What I mean is that you don’t have control over it anymore, whoever received it can show it to whoever and whatever they choose.

You can't convince 99% of windows users to switch, the real solution is done via legislation. The force of a government is more powerful any boycotts you can muster. (For example: European Union has been passing a regulations on right to repair, do privacy laws next)

Step 412: realize that there is no REAL alternative to Excel.
you can make do for office apps. try graphic design.

Came here for the "use Linux" comments. Like clockwork. To be fair: I'm guilty of it too.

Visit LinuxMint.com

Press download
Other comments predicting the Linux drones being unhelpful to users looking for answers wasn't wrong.
Damn. Predictable too.

LMDE here. No ragrets. Mint features, Debian stability, and none of the Canonical weirdness.
I really liked LMDE. I eventually moved to arch though because I'm a tinkerer at heart. If I need stability without constant updates though, a Debian based distro is my go-to. LMDE for a desktop, or just straight up Debian with no thrills for a server.

Mountains and mountains of janky spaghetti code VBA macros. That's the only answer left.
Does anyone have any go-to resources to help with scripting LibreOffice Calc? I do not need to convert Excel/VBA scripts for use with LibreOffice; I am fine writing things from scratch. But learning VBA at work was incredibly easy because I could just do a generic Internet search for what I want to do, and there would be a dozen different help posts and articles with detailed explanations and exact code to solve the problem with VBA. But on the LibreOffice Calc side, I cannot find much useful information, for either BASIC or Python.

That is not going to stop Windows Recall from screenshotting the message once decrypted.

The one thing keeping me from going all-in on Linux is the users being insufferable.

maybe sooner if you are using big tech webmail

My first thought seeing this headline was "who cares I'm using Linux anyway" ... My second thought was "Well I'm probably gonna start working in a mixed environment again soon and I'll be the one who'll have to disable Recall for the Users ... So good to know
