    “But most significantly, Microsoft has made Recall a feature you must opt in to using rather than opt out of using, and it’s possible to remove it completely.”

    Important bit

            If they want to pay 2-3 Billions to EU for breaking laws, let them. I will also make so money suing them.

              Didn’t they require one of these bigger upgrades to still get security updates? I thought I read something about 23H2 (or similar) not getting updates anymore.

                Yeah, 23H2 has updates until November. Pretty funny if you think Windows 10 22H2 ends in October.

        Yeah, this is just the thin end of the wedge.

        Although I suppose you could call windows itself the thin end of the wedge, this is a slightly wider part.

      Also it’s not available on x86-64 CPUs. You need an ARM CPU with an NPU. Microsoft’s reasoning is so that the AI shit can be processed locally to protect your privacy. Apparently they’ve never heard of GPUs before.
