    There’s no hurry - we don’t want it.

    I don’t see why everyone hates this. It’s disabled by default and you don’t have to use it. I use Linux but thank god someone’s actually trying to make operating systems interesting again, nobody else has done anything interesting in years.

      I’d much rather Microsoft work on improving windows than adding features that I don’t need or want.

      I want an interesting operating system as much as I want to live next to an interesting nuclear powerplant.

      Operating systems should be boring, they should just handle basic tasks and support whatever program I am running on top of them.

      Calling Recall interesting just makes me want it less, it is one more huge vector of personal information that can and will be mined or breached and then mined.

      But an operating system isn’t meant to be “interesting”. It’s an operating system. It should only be meant to operate the system. The interesting should be up to whatever programs it is that a user puts on top of it, something that makes it work better (like optimisations), or at most, make it look nicer. Recall is not that. Your car should be functional as a car. It doesn’t need to be capable of baking souffles, or be a fully-functional mobile office suite. An OS should follow the same principles.

      you don’t have to use it.

      On windows, “its optional” means somthing diffrent than on linux.

      On linux a feature like this is just a command or a toggle switch in the settings.

      Its admittedly a neat concept, I use OBS for this verry reason, to capture moments where I didnt think to press “record” beforehand. An (unprivlaged, no internet access) userland foreground app with “start/stop/delete past hour” buttons. All from the easy to understand from a glance taskbar icon.

      Sadly, we only got a few of these safety features later on because like software, people will also refuse to buy a car without seatbelts or working breaks.

      People are saying “no!” now so they dont have to say no later when its much harder to say no (when its in your home, on your pc). Microsoft plugs their ears when their customers say “it’s unsafe” and “no means no” because they want you to partake in this transaction with them reguardless of if you do.

      s disabled by default

      And how long do you think that will last? They only changed it to opt-in after millions of enterprise IT cybersec directors screeched in agony. And with all of these monopolies, getting a backpedal concessionis only hitting a temporary pause button for them to wait two years and try again.

      “You don’t have to use it” has never worked as a defense against Microsoft ever, Recall exists as the greatest possible privacy violation and should not even be a legal feature.

        Enable recall : ⬜later ⬜yes

        That’s how they will gain adoption. They will gain it through fatigue and apathy.

      An OS really shouldn’t be “interesting” it should be boring, just work and be secure.

      It will be likely installed even if disabled, so your eventual malware attacker can enable it and live off the land instead of installing a key/screen that your antivirus might catch.

      They disabled it by default after shipping it as a security nightmare in preview builds.

      You can’t add security after the fact. If it isn’t planned out with security as a primary design goal months before you write a line of code, it will never be secure.

      Ignore the luddites, this will be a very important can’t-live-without feature in the years to come. Once the privacy issues are worked through, and yes, luddites, they can and will be worked through, this will be a differentiating feature that every other OS plays catch up to. It already exists in some tools like ssh playbacks.
