Probably why that guy from Microsoft support called to refund my support fees. Asked for my account numbers so he could direct deposit $387.00.
Very nice and thoughtful fellow. Suggested I always log in with my Microsoft account creds so as to make the most of the great security experiences. Color me impressed.

Well that was nice of them. I wonder if they outsourced this work to the people who offered to get money for my timeshare, even though I don't have one. Super thoughtful the way they are proactively trying to help.

Well I make a joke, but a client of a friend lost some $20K to those scum. He thought it really was Microsoft, even though the strong accent.
Dangerous world out there!

My in-law got all drives wiped. Luckily for him the human waste of the other side was a bit inept and only deleted the content, didn't encrypted the drives. I could recover most of the data.

A friend's laptop got locked for ransom. She asked me too look at it, but I told her I didn't think there was much I would be able to do. I created a Ubuntu thumb drive, booted to that and mounted her drive. It turns out the scumbag only locked the boot partition. I was able to just copy off her unencrypted My xxx folders. So, like you, I was a hero because the crook was dumb.

Yes, They are making it "opt-in" (for a feature nobody wants) and fixing the horrible security holes (presently known).

You're absolutely right. Something needs to be done about this trend.

The overall complexity of the multiple changes they've made speak to just how insidious this feature is.
Their public statement says that snapshots are not shared with microsoft, but it is noticeably silent about what it does with the results of the processing it performs on the snapshots.
Plus, I tend to think that the snapshots' persistence on the machine is only for the purpose of providing the potemkin "feature" to the users.
I'll bet that your screen is processed every 5 seconds whether the feature (the storing of the snapshots) is on or off.
Here's an assertion from the MS statement:Quote: First, we are updating the set-up experience of Copilot+ PCs to give people a clearer choice to opt-in to saving snapshots using Recall. Notice that it says that users can opt-in to saving snapshots, not taking snapshots.

I trusted unknown developers with their "patches" more than MS until Win7. I guess I will do it again from 11 onwards - though I will most probably skip it.

We see a whole load of posts about how Microsoft sucks. Well, this is praise for them. In my day to day, I do a load of API design work using OpenAPI. Frankly, while OpenAPI is great, the tooling and development of it is less than amazing. It's cumbersome, and it doesn't promote easy reuse. Well, Microsoft has produced something called TypeSpec[^] which makes API design an absolute delight. It's now supplanting my tool of choice (SwaggerHub). So, I want my APIs to return all records on an endpoint and I want them to have common statuses on the return. Well, if I do this:
op all<T>(): {
@statusCode statusCode: 200;
@body records: T[];
} | {
@statusCode statusCode: 400;
@body error: Error;
} | {
@statusCode statusCode: 401;
} | {
@statusCode statusCode: 403;
}; Then I can do this:
@route("/organizations")
interface Organizations {
op all is all<Organization>;
} Well, what does that look like when I produce my OpenAPI design out of this?
openapi: 3.0.0
info:

In my case, most of my posts against Microsoft are mostly in the insider news and more in joke, sacarsm mode than real rants.
At the end of the day I am still using it and will still use it (at least at job)

To be honest, I don't understand what the point of that TypeSpec is, because it doesn't generate C# REST API's.
