What do y’all think? Does switching to Linux as an entire corporation mean RedHat? Or could it be done on a distro like Debian?
The Windows target costumer has always been the employer – expect group policies to disable Recall in any enterprise version. Not Home though.
Corporation: Yo can you add a button so I can see all my employees’ screenshots? And maybe get like a little report of what % of the day they’re spending on doing exactly what they’re told? And then like an automated email to HR and their manager if it drops below a threshold…
LOL, you’re vastly overestimating company’s IT abilities, funding and give-a-shit motivation. As to money, now you gotta hire people to watch people. No matter how automated, there’s a cost and additional personnel need.
And if the corporation is technically competent enough to manage all that mess, that’s probably a company with skilled workers who will leave under such conditions.
No, there was always an off switch for enterprise versions of win 11 before MS back peddled and made it opt in.
Enterprises have a function called Group Policy where you can make mass adjustments to managed PCs and no doubt there would be a setting there to disable Recall.
Technically, GPOs are just registry adjustments with English definitions tacked on. No doubt there will be tools for Home editions to fix this; for those that look, that is.
An example of this, that comes to mind, is Windows Update Blocker (WUB). All it does is enable the policies that block Windows Updates from Microsoft servers and stops their attempted workaround of the Windows Update Medic or whatever it is, which is solely talked with making sure the WU service is running. These are the same policies/registry settings that are triggered when an enterprise org uses WSUS to control update deployment.
I don’t doubt, though, that Microsoft will to something shitty to ensure Home users cannot block it forever.
No… we just won’t buy the recall PCs and will disable it on the normal enterprise licensed workstations via GPO. Could always block the update in WSUS as well if you’re using that vs another RMM tool
Nope.
