This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them...

At least you tried! And annoying that you stumbled upon hw issues.

If you ever want to try again what about getting hold of an old drive, or try dual boot, then you can swap back to windows easily and there's less pressure for Linux to work out of the box.

As you say the guides you used didn't match, try and research more about what is the correct distro for you, and maybe start with one that looks like a sure bet.

No problem, it just sounded like you needed help.

To avoid getting advice then you better mark your comment, with rant or something.

Plot twist Windows has always been bad.

@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

Microsoft has always been good at catering to businesses and hooking them on windows+office+etc.

But there has always been better alternatives around, OS/2 was so much better than windows 3.x, and WordPerfect was better than word. I'm sure there are countless other examples.

It will be interesting to see if they make Inception 2 (or one of the other movies) and then still cast Elliot.

BeigeAgenda ,
@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

True that is also an option, else I was thinking about Inception 2 where they could include in the script that Ariadne also transitioned.

They want the best con artists.

40 years in the field you say, and how old are you?

I thought Xen and OpenVZ etc. became obsolete with KVM? But it's probably for the best that Xen is still used.

BeigeAgenda ,
@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

Doh I meant LXC 🤦 instead of KVM.

I upgraded 3 major versions of Devuan with a snapshot between each upgrade, and I have a script running doing hourly/daily/weekly snapshots.

The only hassle was updating grub to boot on the new snapshot, while still being able to boot the old, I had to dig up a boot USB when I messed it up.

Yes most likely, they don't use YouTube anyway, too busy watching Mandingo fights.

I would much rather use FSD that is limited to routes and conditions where the developers and testers agree that it's safe.

Compared to a company that says "everything works", and "those drivers that got killed must have been doing something wrong".

Or like the good old days where you deleted COMMAND.COM

Yes paused long enough to post their complaint.

I expect they will increase the number of ads when they resume.

30GW out of how much Daniel? We need some proper stats from Koch's mouthpiece.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Munich did exactly that in 2017, so let's see how far Sleswig-Holstein is willing to go, hopefully they won't be falling for Microsofts sweet talk.

Yeah, why don't they lean into it and call it FurryGPU much better.

I have been playing on Linux for years before proton.

WoW, HL, Fallout, Diablo, Quake, RimWorld to name a few.

It's positive that not all from Mastodon are on board with it, and "Fediverse stakeholders" sounds too much like IPO talk.

Two ssds is when you need to run stuff on windows that requires the bare metal.

Windows needs to be contained, controlled and told who is the boss, I suggest using Tiny11 or MicroXP in a VM for stuff that can't run in wine.

Firefox stopped supporting XP in 2018 so it's not too long ago that it was still usable.

BeigeAgenda ,
@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

Okay it's long for people where it's 6 years ago they learned to tie their shoes.

Gramps here still thinks LOTR is a recent movie.

I was struggling to find the newest XP related news to prove my point, it was the best I could do.

By 2018 XP had been replaced by Windows 7 for several years.

It took me something like 5 hours to upgrade from Devuan ASCII to Daedalus (3 dist upgrades), and ensuring stuff still worked between versions.

Compression format, xvid replaced it before the hevc codecs were invented.

I hate what Twitter has become, but it keeps the muskrat busy tweeting nonsense, and it costs him a lot of money and time.

So it was too good to be true? One tell is that they wrote: Check out xxx.onion that points to my laptop.

And it's not good going around calling yourself worthless!

Sounds painful, and what about bleaching then?

I doubt that the alpha🧻-head would write that.

Good to know, I'll change when the dists start replacing grub with rEFInd, last time I changed bootloader was lilo -> grub from what I can find it was around 2013 Debian switched.

All those closings and new launches also helps with reducing that pesky user base, get burnt a few times by Google and Microsoft looks much better.
