I think the thread title is overselling it, this isn't for all Windows PCs, just the new "Copilot+ PCs". They have to have a special chip on the device (branded as NPU) that handles all these machine learning operations locally. MS claim none of it is going back to the cloud, but I wouldn't trust them. Then again I wouldn't trust MS wouldn't be sending any of my computer usage data back to the cloud in some way, so I don't use any Windows machine.This is serious privacy violation, and also burden pc more in low spec or low internet bandwitdh, ugh... :/
You underestimate Microsoft's R&D department. I bet they can come up with even worse things than this.It's hard to think of a worst feature to have on my PC.

Nice question... I think their point of view is that being it only used locally it doesn't affect any privacy concern... on the other end as someone that is studying for "red team" I totally can't wait to see which porn stuff you guys haveHmm, what if I have an encrypted drive on my PC storing work related stuff that needs to be encrypted (eg. GDPR), if I decrypt that drive and open files from it would it then screenshot that private file and so it is then stored unencrypted/elsewhere? Even if stored locally, this is then outside the realm of the encrypted drive is it not?
If I only could settle down on what distribution to use...Once Windows 10 reaches its EOL cycle, it'll be finally time to migrate to a Linux distro. Valve's Proton is already doing wonders when it comes to game compatibility.

I use Mint. There were a few others in the past I briefly tested off a USB stick but decided it was too much work. Mint was the first one I tried and it was close enough to Windows XP/7 in a superficial sense so that's good enough for me.If I only could settle down on what distribution to use...
Currently running Mint (Ubuntu & LMDE6) Debian 12, Zorin OS, Bazzite in VM's to try them out...

They will probably try to force on users, like telemetry.Great. Another slider I need to turn off.
Worst thing is only if they had live feed of you all the time. Can't believe the fuckers call it photographic memoryThat is spyware on steroids.

If I decide to give up on playing games on PC, then I'm leaning to either Mint (LMDE) or Debian, IF I want to play as many games as possible, that's when I'm not sure, I want it to be "install and forget" type OS for that.I use Mint.

Short story, I picked one and rolled with it.
We can only hope, they go after way smaller transgressions.Lol...EU lawsuit incoming in 3,2..1
Hehe, what do you mean, my porn isn't encryptedNice question... I think their point of view is that being it only used locally it doesn't affect any privacy concern... on the other end as someone that is studying for "red team" I totally can't wait to see which porn stuff you guys have

Sure, like have you tried to stop your apps from giving up all your personal data to corporations?Great. Another slider I need to turn off.
Well it says it's all local so Internet bandwidth wouldn't be an issue. Nor necessarily even privacy if everything works as intended but it sure seems like a privacy vulnerability and the implications on wasted storage seem significant too.This is serious privacy violation, and also burden pc more in low spec or low internet bandwitdh, ugh... :/
