I like the part where windows selects a random media you have in your web browser tabs to show on the lock screen. No way that could go badly for someone.
Cinnamon DE does that on my Linux system.
doesn’t bother me because anyone snooping deserves to be traumatized. However, it’s linux, I’m sure there’s a setting for that.
Wait, seriously?!
but why tho
I love that anons can’t realize that this is obviously fake and intentional to make you paranoid enough to make the unix/linux swap. Windows recall is here. This post is fake for now…but it’s a matter of time folks
Those saying it’s not a real thing, it kind of is but not as how green text suggests. My dad, for reasons, had certain images of a flirtatious neighbor (uuuuugghhh!!) and also had a OneDrive app on his phone for work which has a habit of deciding quite randomly what to share.
According to him, which do take this with a grain of salt, OneDrive shared these photos not just with IT at his job, but frequently threatened to share the images with contacts. Also, his Alexa app got in on the fun and displayed the images to his echo show… I needed eye bleach.
Can this be done on PC? Y’know, plausible. I’ve had windows randomly make porn my wallpaper before, and that was in my spare drive and in a folder labeled 2005 tax info. And that wasn’t even recent, who knows now.
That’s an entire bag of manure
with how thoroughly I’ve seen my friends and family fuck up their pcs, the above story does not surprise me at all. I myself have had obscure issues with windows that other people find unbelievable.
A grain of salt? I’ll take this with a bag of salt if you don’t mind
Technologically impaired pervy old people and Windows are always a bad mix.
I was once the trigger to fire an old accounting guy from a company because I was helping him do something with a cloud feature of office and a porn notification showed up. He had inadvertently installed some notifications from a porn website.
After the awkwardest silence in history I had to inform him that I needed to report that to management. He just said, ok.
IT later discovered that he was not only watching porn on company time. He was also taking creep pictures of female coworkers and saving them to the company gdrive. Upon further inspection, he was not only a pervert, he was also embezzling money. We had to file several criminal charges against him.
I guess the old adage of ‘break only one law at a time’ holds true. If he weren’t a pervert we never would’ve noticed the stealing.
I worked Apple support for a while and I’d have people call in convinced of the craziest things about their devices.
I once lived somewhere I was sharing wifi with the neighbors, any time I’d right click on some porn Windows would give the option to stream it to their smart tv, I could not figure out how to disable it so this no longer happens.
Did it only offer this for porn?
Any media file also
that is a much less interesting tech anomaly
Back when I was a kid we downloaded Napster and shared everything. Now the tech giants are Reverse-Napster and sharing everyone
They got big mad and decided to reverse Uno us.
Seriously since when Windowd does this ? Asking for a friend so they don’t accidentally send me their porn.
Obviously it doesn’t
Is that actually a thing? I haven’t used Windows in a year.
I’m guessing it’s hyperbole based on microsofts newest push for its OS to save all your data to their servers instead of your own hdd and maybe a hint of the gross Windows Recall "feature"in win11.
remember this is 4chan? no it’s not real
Fake: confirmed
Gay: anon watches dudes’ dicks
It’s def a thing that is congregates your media and shares it to you, idk about others
