I was talking to a friend of mine about this, very techy guy, has run Linux in the past etc. He said he just ran a de crapifier script on his current machine and carried on with his life.
Until Microsoft breaks it and forces the crap back in.
The noose around your computer's neck isn't gonna get any looser, until and unless you cut it off.
You guys are going to have an especially fun time when some criminal makes off with your Recall database, by the way.
Oh, no! If only I could open the local group policy editor and set the recall policy to disabled! If only I could also enable bitlocker on my drive to prevent and *criminal *from being able to get to data on my drive! Whoever is going to steal my laptop is going to simply take it to a pawn shop to sell it, they're not looking for the pictures of my cats anyways.
I'm talking about criminals who exploit some vulnerability and gain the ability to read your file system, not physically steal your computer.
As for Group Policy, if you think that's going to actually turn off Recall recording, I've got a bridge to sell you.
And yeah, they're not looking for cats. They're looking for passwords, Social Security numbers, and other such secrets. Recall records everything you see.
I'm going to be honest with you, this is pretty tinfoil hat.
