Privacy helper for #Windows
The free tool "O&O ShutUp10++" helps to disable many concerning Windows features with one click.
It now supports disabling "Copilot" and the disturbing "Recall" feature as well.
"Microsoft’s Recall feature recently made its way back to Windows Insiders after having been pulled from test builds back in June, due to security and privacy concerns. The new version of Recall encrypts the screens it captures and, by default, it has a “Filter sensitive information,” setting enabled, which is supposed to prevent it from recording any app or website that is showing credit card numbers, social security numbers, or other important financial / personal info. In my tests, however, this filter only worked in some situations (on two e-commerce sites), leaving a gaping hole in the protection it promises.
When I entered a credit card number and a random username / password into a Windows Notepad window, Recall captured it, despite the fact that I had text such as “Capital One Visa” right next to the numbers. Similarly, when I filled out a loan application PDF in Microsoft Edge, entering a social security number, name and DOB, Recall captured that. Note that all info in these screenshots is made up, but I also tested with an actual credit card number of mine and the results were the same."
Is the general consensus that #Microsoft #Recall is just an excuse to train AI on all the stuff we otherwise wouldn't give them? Does this seem obvious to other people?
#15 Hits pretty hard, especially in light of the recent #MicrosoftRecall debacle
#InfoSec nerds might want to check this out, while they're thinking about their life choices for (at least) the next 4 years

Microsoft Recall is part of explorer.exe as a dependency -- You cannot remove Microsoft Recall.
You must accept Microsoft will spy on you. You no longer have a choice.

Just out of curiousity, for those who switched from Windows to Linux (either from Microsoft Recall or from CrowdStrike), who has stayed with Linux or who has moved back to Linux? And regardless of your decision, why? (if you feel comfortable sharing!)
@fsf Not a Snowden fan buuuuuuuut we are quickly moving towards removing all #IOT devices and anything connected to the internet because #technros are ruining all tech because all it does is steal our info, track us, while they do everything to block people doing the same to them. No legislators should use any google, apple or adobe products. With #recall #microsoftrecall will steal all government secrets. You think they won’t sell that? Of course they will.
I bought my first Windows PC sometime around 1993, and Windows has been my home desktop ever since. That's over 30 years on a succession of different Microsoft Windows versions.
Microsoft's move to build Recall screen-scraping into the OS has convinced me that they no longer view me as a customer, but as a product.
For that reason, I'm switching to Linux on the Desktop.
Between #MicrosoftRecall and now #Adobe's crack-smoking new attempt to claim access to anything you create with their products, it's really feeling like tech company CEOs have all been simultaneously struck with some weird-ass brain virus that shuts down even the most rudimentary "maybe this would wipe out my company?" thoughts. *And* the ability to listen to their own legal departments, who have gotta be saying, "This is flagrantly illegal and will subject us to company-destroying lawsuits."
Why Not Zoidberg? 
Remember kids, switching to Linux is a good idea, but anyone using Windows and communicating with you over the internet will still record everything you talk about.
with the PR going *this* shitty, them literally naming the product after distopian surveillance SciFi, and *everybody* seeing what a fucking disaster #microsoftrecall is going to be for humanity, my conspiracy theory is that this is #Microsoft's way of a #canary, showing us that the government has implemented official backdoors in #Windows
Ever clicked that "show password" button?
Ever scanned an MFA QR code from your screen?
Ever looked at sensitive personal or financial information (of which you have delegated secure access to)?
Ever looked at something on line you may not want to be recorded in history?
Well #MicrosoftRecall is coming, hold its beer.
@GossiTheDog My first reason for not upgrading to #Windows11 is that I'm lazy.
#MicrosoftRecall will be my second reason.
@GossiTheDog @malwaretech I’ve tried raising the massive problems with #MicrosoftRecall on LinkedIn (owned by Microsoft) but got very little reaction. Maybe people do not care or are nervous about saying something that might be a bad career move: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matthewjohnhayes_microsoft-product-recall-activity-7201117418146996224-2Dpw and https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matthewjohnhayes_recall-stealing-everything-youve-ever-typed-activity-7202450923527282689-iDEl

Everyone - but especially folks in IT and Information Security - should read Kevin’s article analyzing Microsoft Recall.
