    Did you read the article this thread is about? The sub-headline is:

    The tool will be opt-in, so Copilot+ PCs won’t screenshot your activity without permission.

      So were many other things in the past.

      I hate that people keep saying this shit.

      ‘But the article said…’ yes, the face eating leopards said there were not going to eat your face today.

      See you next week.

        The person I was responding to didn’t say “I think they’ll eventually make it opt-out again, at some point in the future, in my opinion.” He gave a factual description of the current state of the feature. An incorrect one.

        If you want to hate on face-eating leopards at least be accurate when describing them. Otherwise you become the boy that cried face-eating leopard.

          They ate so many faces as of today, what are you talking about? Microsoft has a long history of doing this, I can’t believe you can in any way defend them.

      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.

          Edge is opt-out though. It’s your default from the beginning until you change it by installing a different browser.
