In case you forgot about Microsoft Recall, it looks like it will reappear in your Copilot+ computer soon running Windows 11.

I am sure you are all thrilled with the idea of a screenshot being taken of your screen every 3 seconds, right?

Straight outta 2006! Remember multiple expired antiviruses, obsessive defragging, and "experts" recommending Win9x on new hardware? I wrote about it back then. Here's the translated post for some tech nostalgia (or PTSD?).

LibreOffice Writer seems to struggle on Windows since the couple of few weeks. Whenever I hover on menus or content navigator in Writer, the screen goes black for a few seconds. No other application has this issue. Anyone else noticing this? Wondering if it's a Windows bug, a LibreOffice bug or AMD graphics bug... @libreoffice #LibreOffice #windows #amd

@pebo @bsi Bemessen an der Angriffsfläche und Zielgruppe lohnt sich da eine solche Erhebung nicht wirklich. Die meisten erfolgreichen Cyber Angriffe basieren auf Social Engineering, die Zielgruppe sind eher selten private Haushalte, sondern Unternehmen und die wiederum verwenden fast ausschließlich #windows am Desktop. Auch wenn ca. 98 % der im Internet stehenden Server #linux basieren, nutzen Unternehmen intern gerne mal Windows Server.

@timnitGebru Boycott, divest, sanction Microsoft → bdsmovement.net/microsoft

"The Palestinian-led BDS movement, supported by Microsoft workers, calls on people of conscious to pressure Microsoft to end its complicity in Israeli apartheid and AI-powered genocide. To pressure Microsoft, boycott Microsoft’s consumer products whenever possible"

BDS MovementMicrosoftMicrosoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Fehler gefunden. Die pdf Vorschau im Explorer bringt den ganzen Prozess zum Absturz. Deaktivieren und es läuft.

Wieder Aktivieren lässt den Mist von vorne beginnen.

Geiler Mist. Nicht. 🤮

Ich hasse #Windows einfach nur noch.
