Microsoft is making changes to its Recall feature on Copilot+ PCs in an attempt to resolve privacy concerns. The tool will be opt-in, so it won’t screenshot your activity without permission.
That is how they spin it now, but I saw the setup process for windows 11 on copilot+ laptops and it was opt-out originally. I’d imagine it’s going to be one of those things where they ask you to enable it every couple of days.
Exactly. Making Edge my default browser is opt-in too, but that doesn’t stop them from bugging me about it regularly or switching it any time they think they can.
I’m loving Linux Mint since I switched. It’s nice to have an operating system that isn’t trying to subvert my choices every day.
