This is the year i finally dump windows. I already have started testing Linux Mint and it seems to work just fine. Hopefully enough games workbon it that I don't have to use Windows again.
I could excuse most of win10, but the "feature" in 11 where they take a picture of my screen every min and send it to Microsoft... No thanks! Fuck that!
Ending security updates for an OS that just came out a few years ago is also a scummy way to make people upgrade, they literally have to give people viruses to make them do an unnecessary upgrade, it's really slimy and gross.
Bye Windows, I haven't liked you since win7 :'c
They claim that Recall doesn't currently send copies to MSFT, but yeah I hear ya. This is the year I go back to Linux.
They said they wouldn't put ads in your start menu, which turned out to be a lie. They said they wouldn't use Recall after initial backlash, this turned out to be a lie. They claimed that Recall would filter out sensitive information which once again turned out to be a lie.
Now they're saying that they won't send your screenshots to their servers, I'll let you figure out how credible that sounds to us by now....
They wouldn't be pushing so hard for that "feature" if they didn't plan to profit from it in some way. AI training and user profiling are definitely very easy ways to make money off of those screenshots.
"Currently" was a load-bearing word in that sentence.
