Microsoft is making its controversial AI-powered Recall feature optional. The changes come after security experts warned the feature could be a disaster for cybersecurity.Tom Warren (The Verge)

Damn, I really thought the Recall database security would at least be, you know, secure. Turns out Microsoft did pretty much what I blogged about for WindowsApps, except you need to find a specific WIN://SYSAPPID instead.Infosec Exchange
Wir sollten bei jeder Gelegenheit die Vorteile von quelloffener Software und Diensten hervorheben. Die Deutungshoheit Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple und Co. zu überlassen, hat uns dorthin geführt, wo wir heute stehen: Ein datengetriebenes Web, das ohne Nutzerdaten nicht überlebt und uns mit Werbung bombardiert.

I've read some conflicting stuff about #linux #gaming rigs and I'm curious what people run.
I have tried Ubuntu, but I don't super vibe how Canonical have been doing things, Debian another attempt.
Pop OS I enjoyed for a time too, but had lots of issues with gaming and that rig ultimately blew up and I struggle to not associate the blow up with the pop.
I've been seeing Nobara pop up? Is anyone running that?
But #opensource is the big unstable, unsafe, immature and amateurish organized and communicated issue within the IT organization. 👌🤷🏾♀️ #whataday!

Fasse ich das richtig zusammen? Menschen der @Bundesregierung geben #Microsoft 197,7 Millionen Euro unserer Steuergelder, um damit Lösungen zu betreiben, von denen seit mindestens 2018 klar ist, dass sie nicht datenschutzkonform, sprich: illegal sind. Gutachten werden ignoriert oder gar verschwinden gelassen.

STORY: Microsoft’s Recall AI system takes a screenshot of your laptop every five seconds. Even before it has launched, a security researcher has built a tool that can extract all the unencrypted data from Recall

#Windows #Recall demands an extraordinary level of #trust that #Microsoft hasn’t earned
This, as many users in #infosec communities on social media immediately pointed out, sounds like a potential #security #nightmare. That’s doubly true because Microsoft says that by default, Recall’s screenshots take no pains to redact sensitive information, from usernames and passwords to health care information to NSFW site visits. By default, on a #PC with 256GB of storage, Recall can store a couple dozen gigabytes of data across three months of PC usage, a huge amount of personal data.

#Microsoft to "invest" $3.2bn in #AI in #Sweden, "drawing on the country's green energy"
When you read that "AI consumes as much energy as a small country", that country is now Sweden.
And this basically means the country's *public* power infrastructure is being sold out to private interests.
Shit like this makes me livid.

#Security nightmare:
#Microsoft’s new #Windows11 feature, #Recall, makes the #SciFi movie #TotalRecall almost look like a fairy tale by comparison.
Everything you ever saw or wrote on your device, even if deleted, will remain in definitely remain available and searchable for users of the device, including #hackers.
Opting out requires work.
Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.
