nixCraft 🐧 wrote the following post Tue, 03 Sep 2024 16:06:38 +0200 Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies. #privacy #security

Time to migrate for those who still have W10 and cannot migrate to W11 because .. device is not supported!
--> " full security support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025"

Current status of my #MoveToLinux :
I haven't done much on my computers at all recently. Too busy elsewhere.
But I've decided to get used to it on a small, underpowered laptop, first, just writing.
So far, so good.
Plus side:
I fixed an annoying problem with the trackpad that bugged me on Windows – setting probably hidden too deep.Obsidian, Firefox are exactly the same. No learning curve.
Minus: I have to learn a new keyboard for some characters, so my touch typing speed has gone down.

« When such support ends it is time to, at least, update the OS to a newer version, although in some cases that might mean buying new hardware (at least more disk space and memory, although Windows 10 may require a new machine).
Another option is to change to an alternative #OS that supports your hardware, e.g. #Linux supports quite old hardware and should be able to run 64-bit versions on CPUs from the past 10-15 years. »
