Noooo don’t screenshot my NFT!!!
Obligatory non-fanboy warning: I say this as someone who generally dislikes Microsoft’s contemporary software and avoids Windows on their personal computers.

It looks like users are prominently presented the option to disable Recall during the first launch.
Controls from the start
During setup of your new Copilot+ PC, and for each new user, you’re informed about Recall and given the option to manage your Recall and snapshots preferences. If selected, Recall settings will open where you can stop saving snapshots, add filters, or further customize your experience before continuing to use Windows 11. If you continue with the default selections, saving snapshots will be turned on.
You’ll see Recall pinned to the taskbar when you reach your desktop. You’ll have a Recall snapshot icon on the system tray letting you know when Windows is saving snapshots.
You can turn on or off saving snapshots at any time by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Recall & snapshots. You can also pause snapshots temporarily by selecting the Recall icon in the system tray on your PC and selecting the pause option.
“It looks like users are prominently presented the option to disable Recall” at this point in time.
ftfy, my friend.
Good news is that it takes Microsoft eons to update a user experience. So this will probably be the experience for the next decade.
Just because you can decline an offer of a shit sandwich doesn’t mean it’s cool for someone to go around telling people to eat shit sandwiches to begin with.
“It’s too complex, can’t do anything about it!” I swear, the moment people saw the crypto industry being able to ignore fiscal laws and responsibility because of shiny objects in the form of algorithm complexity is the moment they realized they could do it in other IT fields like AI.
Even if Microsoft doesn’t look at your data because it is encrypted and only the AI can look at it, the AI is still training on it. I haven’t seen anything about Microsoft keeping their paws out of your locally trained AI which essentially can localize anything they wanted to look into your data for within its neural networks, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s loaded onto the cloud because of “support” and “improvement research”.
Look IDGAF just don’t store them on my drive cause it’s already so fucking bloated
Is it just System Restore but sluttier?
No
What would happen if, for instance, an external program on a bootable usb disk were used like dos to find and delete the offending app?
