    Can’t you just shut it off?

    That recall function, whatever it’s called, not the computer. Seems like most processes can be killed, not sure.

      Yeah this feature is shitty from a cyber security standpoint, but lmao @ you being pissed for the government being able to see numbers issued to you by the government themselves or heavily federally-regulated businesses

    I switched my work laptop to Linux(Nixos+Gnome) as soon as I could after they announced they were going to be using an AI in the OS. Been loving it ever since, and the peace in knowing they aren’t spying on me as well is a really nice added benefit.

        I jumped from windows to Pop-os (Ubuntu based) after my windows boot dive failed. The switch was surprisingly trouble free for me. A few minor teething issues here and there but otherwise fine

    Apologies if this is explained in the article (sorry, as a Linux user I don’t care enough about this story to actually read the article), but… how is a filter that avoid taking screenshots of sensitive info supposed to work? I mean, what kind of divination algorithm can detect something is sensitive without looking at it first?

      It might take a screenshot and keep in memory, and only save to disk after some image processing that detects if there is sensitive data.
