          Nope, I’m curious now, too. Neither Microsoft or Windows are mentioned in the article. In fact, the lawsuit is only directed at smart tvs. So where does this address Recall on Windows 11?

            Literally in the first paragraph. It’s not a lawsuit about the ability to take screenshots, it’s the fact that they were taking screenshots and collecting the data illegally. Windows does not do that.

            Jesus Christ, literacy in this country is fucking dead.

                  Wow, that’s a lot of anger to feel while also being wrong about nearly everything you posted. Maybe there’s a causation there?

                  People got really mad about recall because it was:

                  • a system that recorded everything they did
                  • using screenshots
                  • that was turned on for them automatically
                  • and was difficult to turn off
                  • and did not properly respect being turned off
                  • and has already been out for like, a long time.

                  Just going to add an edit here to say: spot on username there though buddy.

                    Since you insist on ignorance, and going off old information, maybe try reading something current.

                    1. It still hasn’t been implemented.
                    2. You need to turn it on for it to be active.
                    3. Recall needs to be turned on for it to take screenshots.
                    4. In order for recall to take screenshots, you have to actively turn it on.
                    5. Recall is not actively taking screenshots unless you turn it on.
                    6. To turn it on or off, it’s located in the settings menu, and very simple to press the toggle.
                    7. In order for recall to take screenshots, you need to turn it on.

                    What part is so difficult to understand?
