Redmond hopes you’ve forgotten or got over why everyone hated it the first time After temporarily shelving its controversial Windows Recall feature amid a wave of backlash, Microsoft is back at it - now quietly slipping the screenshotting app into the Windows 11 Release Preview channel for Copilot+ PCs, signaling its near-readiness for general availability.…
So if someone is reading a personal email I sent them, in this case it is likely covertly screenshot by Microsoft. I abandoned MS in the early 2000s over privacy concerns and monopolistic behaviour. But I never thought I would think twice about messaging someone with a Windows computer. Here we are.
If you’re worried about private emails being captured, wait until you find out how email fundamentally works. It ain’t peer-to-peer if that’s what you thought. Even P2P isn’t peer-to-peer lol
That why I said “messaging” too.
Yeah, same thing for all messaging. Even SMSs are retained for a looong time which is why they all flood in when you get reception.
The trick is knowing that when you hit send on anything, it’s no longer yours. What happens to it next is entirely controlled by something or someone else. It’s as private as those you gave it to will keep it. Data governance 101.
That’s true. I suppose my point is that those things don’t make an additional vulnerability any more palatable.
