Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency
Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency
TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

I hope every SWE looks at this and remembers how not to conduct oneself.
I doubt it's the engineers who are demanding that this atrocity exist.
The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don't want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don't care)
Thats just how big tech is
And it's why I, as a self-respecting SWE, refuse to apply to big tech jobs. Yeah, I could get paid a lot more, but it's not worth it for the work culture. My current org seems to respect my opinions and values, and that's worth a lot more than money.
Good for you! I'm still waiting for the day the tech world unionizes and push back on the recent horrendous decisions
I don't think the whole tech world needs to unionize, but I think there's a strong argument for the gaming industry. But in general, there should be stronger protections for those who choose to unionize. IIRC, you can't be fired for attempting to unionize, but that doesn't seem to be enforced in practice.
There's some moral responsibility though. When it comes to privacy though, the majority is too naive
Yes and no. In a perfect world, people would be able to uphold their ethics. Unfortunately, in the real world, people don't have that luxury. A job is their lifeline to basic necessities, and sacrificing their job might mean going to debt for many. Especially if you are young and without many options due to the lower level pullback in the tech sphere.
