People who think this means windows is spying on them are going to lose their minds when they realize that Teams, another Microsoft product, can record everything you camera sees and your microphone hears and has existed for years.
There's no "think" about it. These companies are putting measures in place to make spying as easy as possible. We get and agree that they're not actively spying on (most) people. But that's the problem: They're not interested in actively spying. They're interested in inactively spying. On being able to store pages and pages and pages of information on the off-chance you do meaningfully step out of line.
Room 641A has been public knowledge for nearly 2 decades. Nearly twenty years. These companies are complicit in spying. There's no "think" about it. It's objective fact. Yet for some reason, there's people out there that believe for no reason at all, despite the decades upon decades of evidence of corporate and state co-operation and effort at mass surveillance of the public, and despite public backlash have faced NO meaningful reform, punishment or reigning in, would somehow and arbitrarily decide to suddenly become "good".
The biggest lie people tell themselves is that the same entities that have experimented on the public and knowingly engaged in outright atrocities would arbitrarily reform themselves for no reason at all. All because confronting the idea of such an entity still engaging in such behaviour is too uncomfortable.
There's no "think" here. People know this shit. It's happening. The only ones that "think" it's not happening are the ones that mock people who know it happens.
We get and agree that they're not actively spying on (most) people.
The one moment of sanity in this whatever this is.
This new feature requires new hardware in your PC because it moves the processing out of their cloud and onto your local system. But this is somehow actually a move to make spying easier because... your government listens in on a public network?
Future versions of windows will be just like the previous versions. A whole lot of hysteria, followed by the release of a simple tool to turn off all the new crap they added, so that it continues to look and act like windows 7.
Oh, my bad. You're not just woefully retarded. You're an unironic statist that is actually willing to play defence for mass surveillance. I thought there might have been a chance for you.
