Microsoft’s Recall feature uses AI to capture and store user data. While it can be useful, it also poses a significant privacy risk. Here's what AdGuard is doing about it.

    I’ve disabled windows update completely so I can pick and manually dl updates. Never going to put that recall shit on my pc.

      How’d you do that? I’ve made registry tweaks, group policy tweaks, etc and my windows machine still eventually hits a limit where it forces updates around the 12 week mark. Granted it’s still longer than before, it isn’t completely disabled.

        around the 12 week mark.

        Not all computers need to tell the date & time, just uninstall clock.exe

        At that point it’s easier to install Linux.

          I run Linux too, but I have to use windows for some contract jobs.

    Of course it is. It’s invasive by design. The “recent tweaks” were because of backlash, but now that’s died down
