the company says that Recall will be opt-in by default, so users will need to decide to turn it on

I’m pretty sure the main picture on the article is what the revised opt in/out message looks like. Previously it was opt-out with just a message describing the feature with a check box to have it open Settings when you were finished with the out of box experience so that you can look at the options later.
Edit: Fixed mention of opt-in to opt-out, thanks tal.
That’s how this works, isn’t it? Nobody reads past the headline. Everybody feels about it super strongly, just not strongly enough to actually read about it.
This might not be Reddit, but the Reddit behavior is still here.

I can never again log into my email or other private account on someone else’s computer.
I mean, it could always have been compromised and had some kind of keylogger or something installed.
But with Windows 11, you are sure it’s compromised.

That’s the Microsoft™️ Guarantee!
Yes, but now it definitely does
Not definitely, recall will be opt-in and only available on arm computers with a very specific ARM CPU
Too fucking late. I’ve already installed Bluefin on two machines and Bazzite on my gaming machine. I’m not going back.
I feel for the hundreds of engineers at Microsoft who have been yelling about these security issues since day one, but cannot say “I told you so” because they’d get fired.
I survived a similar incident, telling our CEO at the time “you know our product can’t do that, right?” I had to show my receipts, present usability studies, and faced incredible pressure, but 2 CEOs later, I’m still here… :)
Document everything. Keep good notes. You never know when it will be useful.
they needed researchers to tell them that?
It’s PR bullshit to give an excuse for backtracking basically
