New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Steps to Disable or Uninstall 'Recall' in Windows 11 24H2

there are multiple options here depending on how comfortable you are digging into your computer's registry. You can either simply disable it surface level through settings or excise it entirely from the system registry

[muddlemore]

reblogging again as a cautionary tale to please PLEASE fucking make a system restore point before you do anything. i consider myself tech savvy and still nearly bricked my computer. and make sure you know how to access safe mode

Finally figured out how to permanently disable google assistant on phone

[astronomicpopcorn]

You can't just post this and not tell us how man

[oldsgie-deactivated20260302]

Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu

From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's AI assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet.

Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off

They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it.

Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others

Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

There's also a Thief-inspired metal album, Premonitions of Chaos by Compendium! It is described as "a progressive metal album with death and black metal influences and symphonic elements" on TTLG where it was posted. It can be found:

Time for another Thief website.

This one is the Keeper's Compound, and it's one of my favorites just for its atmosphere. From the main page you can access different "areas" that contain various bits of information about things like items, factions, and game mechanics. It also links to some other sites in the Livery. This is the project of one person (Jacob Wilson) and is incomplete (you'll find some blank books in the Library) so it is not as expansive as some others, but I would still highly recommend taking a look!

Hello taffers!

I'm back with some Thief fanart, it feels like i'm going back to my fandom roots. Really happy to have found the time to draw and animate that sexy but threatening Viktoria. I've been replaying the Dark Project and the Metal Age with my boyfriend and the nostalgia hits sooo hard. Might as well share that memory trip with you all <3

(Once again, I'm more active on insta @ lucilledraws!)
