    LOL, this is hilarious šŸ˜„

    Imagine believing they can sneak gigabytes of network traffic without anyone noticing just because you can't read the code! šŸ˜„

    They can process it locally to your point and send txt files of passwords/sensitive info

    However, they don’t have to send anything while such a terrible feature is new. They just have to wait until enough retards accept such a feature

        Again: if they did that, the EU's GDPR would eat them alive.

          I didn't know AMD had managed to switch over to unified memory too. Managing that while remaining x86 compatible is quite an achievement!

          I think the next big thing will be when storage becomes as fast as ram and they unify that too, getting rid of separate RAM. Working with data directly in place could have massive efficiency boosts. But the industry has been trying to get it that fast for many years and still not succeeded. And once they do, separate SSDs wouldn't be possible, at least not as a primary storage, so it wont be an advance that makes sense for every use case.

          Yeah "universal memory" is the holy grail, seemingly as hard to find as it as well.

          The articles on Wikipedia about the related tech is great, it'll mention something like "Developers expect commercialisation to happen relatively soon" and then link to an article from 2004, or research papers from the 1980s.

            But, you can't disable Recall, that's the point...

            You can just not use Windows and use Linux instead.

              Well... Technically you're correct - because the feature is not out yet.

              No idea WTF you people are reading here, but for a "Technology" community, the comments here are just plain ridiculous...

                Well, let me know if you've got any trouble. Oh, and do you have an HP? Those things SUCK at installing Linux. One of those things you have to find out from trying to install it on three separate HP devices.

                  Right. So you're all panicking just in case.

                  That's what's being swept under the rug as "alarmists being loud".

                  The same way you have a lock on your front door ā€œjust in caseā€. It’s not emotional. It’s logical.

                    The lock is there. The whole thing is encrypted.

                    If they somehow go through encryption, they won't just have the EU on their arses, governments of the entire world will be after them, because they trust that this encryption system makes their data secure.

                      oh yea i used pixel scan or something similar, ban evaders use these to check thier browser profile, and it partially shields it. there other similar browser scanners, but the thing is you also need proxies and anti-detect browsers to hide the rest of your activities, because reddit is just that invasive in detection.(hence all those bans.

                        I just think the idea of your alternative being partially coded by the company you're attempting to avoid is a little stupid. I don't give a shit who he is. I barely give a shit who runs Mozilla.

                        Brave and every other Chromium fork are at the mercy of Google to exist as an alternative to Google, which to me, defeats the point. Every bit of their effort would be better spent rolling their money over to donate to browser development rather than band-aids.

                        Tradeoffs have to be made. Android is an example of that..

                        Chromium can be worked on by anyone, it's just that it's too costly to do

                          sure there are choices. I don't use either. if you believe there are only 2 choices out there...man you have no idea.

                          Usable and mainstream choices? I'm unsure

                            im just simplifying it, they have other methods at thier tools. since recently it come to my attention they also indiscrminately shadowban too for no reason at all/. V3 captcha, browser, time and date, location, components. they detect vpn quite easily now,
