For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

My laptop keeps trying to get me to upgrade from Win 10 to 11. I've always refused, not really liking what I've seen of 11, but this moves it right to "over my dead body" and beyond. Might be time to look into Linux-on-the-desktop - definitely once they stop updates for 10.
(I run Linux, too, on a pile of servers, but it's all headless/cli. Last time I tried using a linux GUI was over a decade ago - is it any better now?)
@robert @GossiTheDog much better. Pick a mainstream distro(Ubuntu, Fedora) and GUI (KDE, GNOME) and will work on just about any popular hardware (dell,lenovo). Companies like @frameworkcomputer will even sell you very good, supported by them, hardest
