all right people Microsoft recall
mandatory which by the way that's a
little wild uh because if I remember
correctly recall like watches everything
you do um I also have a fear that my
sound isn't going to work so hold on and
sound is not working okay hold on this
is a video I really didn't think I was
going to make I'm on my inside computer
right now and I ran into this issue and
it has direct implications with
Microsoft recall specifically
how Microsoft assured us that it
wouldn't infiltrate regular systems that
was only for like AI Arm based systems
with the recall or co-pilot plus chips I
can by the way for those that don't know
what recall is recall effectively what
is it takes a snapshot of your computer
every 30 seconds stores it somewhere
they say it doesn't store it they say
they don't store it anywhere but uh by
the way I just realized I'm on top of uh
anyways apparently that they don't store
it anywhere right oh dang we didn't
store it anywhere but oopsie daisies it
turns out we did and then you can do
some sort of semantic searching based on
your history which man this is going to
lead to a lot of people being surprised
about their their their best friends
search history uh semantic right and so
there's going to be a lot of things that
are going to happen to this trust me bro
is guaranteed I know remember that one
time that Facebook had uh they sent down
that they could that they could identify
any song that was being played without
having to do a search on the internet
and it included brand new songs all the
time somehow I just started like
doubting that it just was making no
requests at all ever something something
about the whole thing there's a lot of
these little things that creep up where
you're like really you're doing all of
the semantic everything and you're
absolutely not storing any information
anywhere okay it let's see yep it takes
a full desktop screenshot every 5
Seconds runs OCR and image recognition
stores all that into the timeline wow
it's a lot of that's a lot of storage
definitely definitely not being stored
anywhere say definitively today that was
incorrect recall is getting installed on
every single system in 24 H2 more so and
this is really really
important it is a dependency in file
explorer that should alarm a lot of
people and I wanted to walk you through
all the things that you need to do to
disable it but also the future of
Windows and how we think about Windows
because it's really important that one
if you continue using Windows in 24 H2
and Beyond you disabled the recall
service but I just by the way this has
always been like you guys just got to
understand like this is Microsoft in a
nutshell the reason they made vs code is
because they needed to capture every
single developer that's it that's the
only reason they make these things
because they know that at some point
they're going to be able to charge them
it's not because of the niceness of
their heart it's not because they really
absolutely love every last person they
always do the exact same thing every
single time which which is Embrace
extend extinguish they do this 100% of
the time they create a very nice free
product and then they're going to figure
out a way to monetize on top of that
every single time so of course oh you
know recall is just installed it's not
actually running in one year that do
that dog went from it doesn't bite to
yeah it does bite but it doesn't run
that often to yeah it does bite it runs
often and we store your data every
single time they're going to do that
just so you know they will do this and
in within a year or two Microsoft recall
will run at all times and there will be
no way to disable it and so this is why
I think steam needs to win steam needs
to win and bring gaming to Linux and
Linux needs to figure this out because
within two years this will be such a w
if you can figure this out like that's
it like dude just dude it's going to be
crazy steam let's go steam you got to do
this for all of like literally for every
person you got to do this want to show
you the findings and then you can come
to what ever conclusion you want to come
to as I'm just more concerned with
developing tool and making your windows
experience as good as it possibly can be
so first off what's happening well I
have a like a micro win is what I call
it but essentially it's just the windows
deployment services and it strips out a
lot of the junk like Tick Tock and all
the by the way a micro win you know
like it's totally normal to have a micro
win okay it's totally normal by the way
did he just just say it strips out Tik
Tok is Tik Tok def installed on Windows
by default is that a thing dude send
your mom and daddy out of the room oh I
live by myself thanks I don't got I
don't have parents anymore you know who
I am snake dealing in weed Co crack your
choice one of each please take one hit
and you'll do anything to cop more steal
from your mama hey man you get bit by
like a mosquito or something you don't
look so good do I look like the kind of
guy that would do that to a kid like you
you look like a snake
yes
[Applause]
what what the
[ __ ] this is my current
response to what's happening with Tik
Tok on Microsoft okay that that entire
experience just then was what just went
through my brain the moment we just
watched
that it's worse than you can imagine
buddy that I mean Tik Tok definitely
spies on you that's just that what what
is going on here how much spy devices do
you need on a single operating system 5c
screenshot snapshots plus Tik Tok
installed by default you might as well
just let them scan your rectum and get
that brown eye imprint so that they can
identify you no matter what you right
like I mean at this point you're you're
giving them everything just get elon's
brain chip and just give them your brain
waves at this point okay just give it
all just give them just just let them
have everything all these other garbage
apps that get installed on your system
when you first boot it up and what
happened was in the new update with the
new ISO as soon as users started putting
it in I started seeing these error
reports going hey uh why is my Explorer
reverted back to here and started going
through and go hey can you give me the
version go through again and there's
something that really kind of crazy pops
up the co-pilot removal is breaking new
Explorer tabs uh this is actually in the
inti light change log as well so the
inight team
uh in their change log reported this
first and then if you continue scrolling
down I I copy a lot of those same things
from whether it's inlight or other other
places I'm always looking to have the
most tight uh snow nonsense base
starting point for Windows well we
started looking through and what we
found was we have to leave the actual
component there and then disable it
after uh the user comes into the
computer and that will leave the folder
or the file explorer the same way now to
kind of showc this is what I'm convinced
of that most products aren't built I'm
not saying all products there's some
that are actually really well built and
they actually do quantitative and
qualitative analysis to understand their
user and all that and try to deliver the
best possible product but I am 100%
convinced companies like Microsoft do VP
down like VPC Suite bonus driven
development meaning that the co-pilot
team and the AI team they know that they
need to get everybody using it because
they know that they can monetize this at
some point in a very really like in a
really real sense and so for them to do
that they need everybody on it and so
for them to be able to report these key
metrics as more people using the product
or more people have it uh enabled on
they are now in this like the realm of
saying hey my vertical which is the new
Big vertical in which everybody needs to
have like the most AI ever AI is the
future and guess what our future team
has been able to increase installs and
usage up by a th% therefore bring the
bonuses in I am completely convinced
that bonus driven development by the
seite and VP teams is purely what is
happening here there is no other reason
for this I cannot think of some this
just what what what okay there probably
is other reasons that I don't understand
but my small PE brain is just bonus
driven development that's it case this
this is a new uh update that we're doing
specifically big shout out to coding
wonders for for working so hard on
making these streamlined and uh there is
a potential this is overblown in my
opinion uh could just be that Explorer
depends on stubbed co-pilot functions
for non- Snapdragon CPUs
fair but just want to throw this out
there low-l learning which by the way I
appreciate your opinion you actually
have good opinions here but I just want
to throw this out here what happens next
oh it's stubbed out maybe we just want
one enabled
maybe we just want a little bit what
happen if we have a reduced version
right it's dude people always say
slippery slopes a fallacy you're wrong
life is just one slippery slope it's not
a fallacy everything you do just becomes
more of the thing you're doing this is
this is like this is like the exact
reason how this
works it's wild also adding a lot more
functionality we won't have to actually
uh select your own ISO anymore you can
actually just get it automatically from
microsoft.com which is great slipper
slope is a and what we're doing is just
a couple little bug fixes one thing was
adding remote
desktop and U fixing like obviously no
longer messes up the file explorer look
in 24 H2 uh so you can see he left a
bunch of samples here but the big thing
is I want to tie you to the code things
we had to do in the file change right
here is is when this line kind of came
in and and basically what's happening in
this function is we're just saying hey
make sure we strip out like NFS or
search engine remote desktop those those
features are needed and also not recall
because those components are a mandatory
yeah just just so I I'm correct remote
desktop recently got renamed as Windows
app correct yeah by the way that's the
stupidest name i' like I just want to I
just want to put this out here Verizon
bought Yahoo for those that do not know
that they bought Yahoo and does anybody
know what they named Yahoo to this is
actually like the worst possible name
you could name would they name Yahoo too
does anybody know Omen Microsoft
actually somehow figured out how to beat
that oh man Microsoft just beat that
with Windows app you just named it you
took a common phrase and just common
deared it and now nobody has any idea
what the hell it means unsearchable term
it's a bad Omen it's a bad Omen anyways
also the whole remote desktop thing
somehow that just also feels like a back
door to me and it feels kind of it just
kind of I'm just throwing it out there I
feel a little worried about it I feel
like Microsoft's just adding non-stop
backd doors necessity for the new file
explorer with tabs in 24 H2 funny thing
is it used to not be in 23 H2 so that's
a a very interesting tidbit what exactly
is Microsoft doing on that back end um
the rest of this pretty standard uh and
getting a lot of this just kind of
fixing hey if it's not installing on C
drive and some other really good bug
fixes that a couple people ran into but
for the most part mic wi is in a
fantastic State it's officially the
first year anniversary since we released
that functionality from Ki and coding
wonders has been working really hard on
it I've occasionally stepped in I think
help streamlined it in a big PR here
about a month or two ago and coding
wonders just kind of picked it up and
really just gone wild with it was he's a
very talented Dev and the man's truly
trying to make Windows better and better
all the time
this video is just add no it's not it's
it's it's an amazing thing that he is
pointing out which is that you have to
have co-pilot then you have to disable
it in whatever that disable flagging
thing is for you to even run Explorer
like file explorer kind of wild it's a
paid ad for you to be able to have free
and open source software crazy I mean
next thing you know this man's going to
start telling you about
said not on my watch kids not on my
watch okay I draw the line at free and
open source software CU you know what
the next step is communism okay it
literally goes free and open source
software in tournament camps it's that
quick it's like that quick I know I know
what happens here great but I wanted to
make this video just saying hey this is
happening in Windows every user should
know about it and the thing that I'm
more worried about is what about all the
users that don't hear about it this
recall service will be enabled it is
integrated into your file explorer and
actively part of it what it's doing in
the background is probably the biggest
and also the scariest question agreed
agreed agreed agreed agreed agreed
agreed agreed Chris I don't even know
why I'm not even subscribed to
Christopher Titus Tech what the heck
what the heck uh This is
Wild this is just the craziest news that
has ever existed and the the wildest
part is that I don't think there was any
there was no news that I knew that I
that I knew about it or that I saw cuz I
would have definitely been linked it
like a thousand times if Microsoft kind
of announced hey we're you know putting
co-pilot more and more into uh the
operating system don't worry it's don't
worry it's just stubbed functionality
right instead they just kind of silently
put it in there told nobody and it's
being discovered like this to me that's
kind of uh it looks pretty
terrifying so good on uh good on uh
Christopher Titus
amazing stuff if you haven't checked out
his twitch streams you should check out
his uh twitch streams he's really really
good he actually builds some good stuff
a lot of cool Linux stuff as well really
deep on the Linux world so he's got he's
just a man that makes good things for
operating systems great time you got to
check him out give the video a like he's
awesome here you go also give you man
dude look at look at look at my life now
there we
go hey good luck everybody uh I read an
article where one of the focus groups uh
was exposed to an OS recall on
everything a full amp and there was a
massive push back people hated it so I
think they're just doing the boiled frog
approach yeah my guess is that if you
you know it's just like you know you
know the what the [ __ ] that one uh you
just need a little bit and then once you
get a little bit you go further I'm
going to say something this I know this
is completely T tangental oh slightly
tan it's it's adjacent we're going to
call it
adjacent I was teaching I was going over
some math concepts with my kid this
morning and I realized that young kid
kids one thing that's very big about
about them is that if you give them an
answer they will just simply accept it
and that's that they won't try to
critically think through it they just
want answers and once you give them one
they're going to want more answers
they're going to just want stuff kind of
for free and so this is like my big my
big worry when it comes to AI is that
when answers are just for free you don't
put in all that thought they claim it's
optin well it is optin oh okay so they
did okay so wow I'm surprised I'm
surprised no one saw this
vice president dude oh my goodness
a called it called it to a te how much
do you want to bet David uh Weston is
G right okay so I I guess recall let's
see recalls data let's see h on recalls
an optimist experience set during the
setup experience for co- for co-pilot
plus PCS yeah but this isn't a co-pilot
plus PC which is that Snapdragon
whatever whatever whatever whatever
whatever thing this is any any
Windows Explorer right this
is just in in that's it from here on out
that's all there is to it you actually
have to turn it off as we're discovering
this is not opt in it's opt out there's
a there's a difference between disabling
something and enabling something I
totally get you know enabling is one
thing like goang Telemetry they tried to
make it opt out and everybody lost their
crap and now they made it opt in and
people have largely allowed it to happen
n you need to have specialized Hardware
yeah for how
long for how long right I I I I mean
this in the nicest way until they figure
out some way to be able to send you some
halfast version of the model in which
takes significantly less CPU and then
they can just have that thing run and
it's not as good but they still have it
and then they're like oh but if you
upgrade to the new thing then you're
going to get the even better version of
it all like this this is how it always
works this is how it always works is
that there's like some big far off thing
okay oh you you know remember graphics
cards weren't like the standard on any
PC they were unusual you had to go to
GameStop and buy a voodoo 4 that was
like 16 inches long and hope it fit in
your Huer Packard PCI Express slot or
not even PCI just P just standard meat
and potato PCI and that was like super
unusual only the most Gamers of the
gamers did that what was the one before
uh before
PCI is it APG dude yeah yeah there was
one before that right it was like those
were the days I mean it just I'm just
saying dude the Black voodo 2 I had a
voodoo Five Card okay Bros I had a
voodoo five I played Unreal Tournament
and unreal on my Voodoo 5 graphics card
that I bought by saving up money okay
yeah think about that one tough guy
think about that one yeah how do you
Flex like that did that was a voodo 5
Card yeah of course Voodoo uh five
Graphics come on graphics card come on
everybody knows about that Voodoo 5 look
at this look how big it is yeah dude I
own that I owned I owned
that uh hold on let's and measurements
and dimensions let's see let's see if
they let's see if this thing brings it
up there isn't much information about
the dimensions of the food here okay
yeah yeah I had that I had that I had
this it was so good anyways all right
well the name hey I know Bros shouldn't
compare I know you shouldn't compare
graphic size sound or gra graphics card
sizes okay but back in the day I'm just
saying I had a pretty big graphics card
okay you know my graphics card was
pretty damn big okay I by the way I
can't wait for the I do want to let you
know that the end of the do you know
what the end of this all is going to be
this is the end this is what's going to
happen right this is the future of where
we're going with this type of stuff as
everything slowly becomes a subscription
you're going to have thin devices that
barely that barely do anything and it's
just going to become you don't own
anything you be you don't even own you
don't even own your operating system
it's not even communism it's like the
worst form it it we're going to like
live in some sort of weird I'm not even
sure what it is it's like a monarch
right you're just going to have kings
that own everything it's like rental ISM
I'm not even sure what the term is it's
going to be weird anyways I I was going
to say techn feudalism but I don't think
that's quite correct but it's close to
that it's very it's it's it's very very
close to that but it's more like just
just monarchs a techn ISM sounds right
yeah but my guess is that just due to
how technology works it's only going to
just simply aggregate into like 10
people and that's it you know so it
won't even be it won't be like a
feudalism spread out among many like
dukes and and stuff it'll just be like
10 people and that's it they own
everything it's terrifying anyways hey
the name the name sorry for that really
dark note you know the thing is is I
still think programming and all these
things is really great and you have a
lot of potential and I I really hope
that people don't take these things away
as like oh this is the end I actually do
think that there's many many bright
spots left I just think that you have to
Simply uh avoid some of the kind of the
darker areas uh one thing that I think
is fantastic is that you have the right
still as of right now to build any app
you want get some nice just bare metal
machines out in the cloud deploy your
server you can own the the thing pretty
much straight up all the way through you
can use cloud flare to like redirect
your traffic to your own little
raspberry pies you could own the whole
stack and the hardware and launch it
yourself you can still do all the all
the things yourself and to me that is
absolutely beautiful I absolutely love
that we still have that and I think that
that is something to really think about
and there's just still so much
opportunity out there so please
absolutely do not take this as some me
being saying it's hopeless I am I that
would be like the the one thing I would
hate to deliver is the notion or the
idea that life is hopeless I don't think
it
is a Jen
