According to Microsoft’s documentation, a user can only change the setting to enable or disable the new People section three times a year.
Why are they using electricity for stuff no one asked for? It seems to be too cheap over there…
But if we feed enough data to the AI slop machine, one day you can get your own Knight Rider car! /s
three times a year.
WTF is up with MS doing this rate limiting? I just learned that Win11 will lock you out of your own machine for 2 hours if you restart too many times, like if you have a dualboot and are doing something that requires restarts to resolve.
This is why I decided to dual-boot Ubuntu and Win10 until I’m fully comfortable on Linux. Every single thing about Win11 just makes my skin crawl.
Last week it was the news that they’re eliminating methods to install the OS at all without being signed into a MS account. The degree of snooping had no plausible explanation other than for Microsoft to harvest and sell your data.
You won’t regret it! Ubuntu is a solid choice for your first foray into Linux.
What the shit? Ooh, I need to test this on my work computer!
it’s a very good feature. if you have too much work and need a longer break, just restart a few times. i may need to change my work laptop from macbook to a windows
You have a work MacBook? Man, your company must be filthy stinkin’ rich.
We all have MacBook Pros because we don’t want to deal with IT. It’s better than Windows, but I miss Linux.
The fuck is that goddamn thumbnail. You keep shalehket out of this shit.
Yeah it’s in awful taste; thanks for pointing it out. For those who are not familiar with the art installation: https://www.jmberlin.de/en/shalekhet-fallen-leaves
In Europe this probably goes against GDPR, right? If I don’t agree, they should not collect my face
If I hadn’t abandoned OneDrive already, this would make me do so.
Yeah but they are taking your data from the laptop your mum bought yesterday and put all the family vacation pictures on. Mum didn’t know she had to kill off OneDrive or Microsoft will hoover up and monetise your memories.
Jokes on them, the friends and family that aren’t techs are mac users. I’m the only w11 user and that’s only for work. (And you bet your fat arse that’s lobotomised)
Fortunately not… I’m generally the one responsible for IT maintenance with my parents’ as they get older. Disabled OneDrive long ago since they don’t use it.
No, you really, truly can’t “rugged individualism” your way out of a societal problem. Remember that wedding you went to a few months ago? Someone uploaded this photos and now your social graph has been recorded. When your friend’s kid had a birthday party a few weeks ago? You were uploaded and graphed again. When you were out at that restaurant and you were in the background of someone’s date selfie? Graphed again.
The only solution to this problem is real data protection law, like the GDPR in the EU.
Oh, I definitely agree. We need better privacy and data protection laws here in Australia too. In the meantime, however, I do what I can to minimise my footprint. I’m well aware that other people are going to be the weak link!
I’m done defending idiots. Use sh%t, get hit.
I think that’s why it’s recommended to encrypt files containing personal information with a separate tool before uploading them to any cloud service. It prevents big data from automatically processing your Information and protects you from leaks.
So, will this look through porn videos as well? Asking for a friend.
By mates, do they mean buddies or procreative partners?
Australians
Yes
Both are good
Ha, joke’s on you Microsoft: I don’t have any mates.
Jokes on them, I don’t have any mates!
