Yeah but I think most of us have already.... We are not many enough to matter though. Microsoft and Google will continue to do what they want with 99% of users.

If they keep going at this pace, even the average person will be sick of it. My company was already considering it (after some input from myself and a couple coworkers) after they first announced recall. We sometimes deal with sensitive information that we can't share with anyone outside the company. Periodic screenshots, regardless of what Microsoft says they will do, is a huge security risk.

It still can be disabled in windows enterprise using a intune policy, at least.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 16 points 2 months ago

Yeah this is all my company cared about. They trust that it will be disabled...

The way MS is headed, would it really surprise anyone if a faulty update accidentally re-enables it without telling you and cause a massive shitstorm, though? I‘m not sure how many companies are naive enough to have this sword of Damocles above their machines. Especially with that disastrous anti-hacker resolution by the UN on the way. Sure, there are a lot of companies that just don‘t care nearly as much as they should, but one massive leak with recall involved could be enough for thousands of them to switch.

Eh, I switched. I switched all of my lab's computers, too, and my PhD students have remarked a few different times that Linux is pretty cool. It might snowball.

I don’t think Linux will displace Windows meaningfully any time soon, but I do think people underestimate the fact that most people don’t install their own OSs. They get people like you to do it for them.

I'll switch when Windows 10 is no longer supported. Or just before.
