   Microsoft will try the data-scraping Windows Recall feature again in October

   Initial Recall preview was lambasted for obvious privacy and security failures.

     Thank you, Microsoft, for Windows 11 and 'Recall', thus making Linux the only reasonable choice.

     By October 15th, 2025, I will have (somewhat ironically) defenestrated my final Windows machine.

     @arstechnica can someone please explain to me what the issue with that functionality is supposed to be in a non-emotional way? My PC already indexes all my files for faster searching and sees all of my browser history for the same reason. How is recall any different? Especially if done locally.

     Qualcomm must be ropeable that Microsoft are sabotaging their Windows-on-ARM attempts with such a huge security hole.

     Intel and AMD can breathe a sigh of relief as they have been given another stay of execution,

     “The x86 builds of Windows for Intel and AMD processors don't currently support any Copilot+ features”

     I really hate this bullshit, and want no part of it on or near my computer. REALLY starting to wish I wasn't stuck on Windows for my office machine. Pretty much everything they do to it makes it worse.
