Nothing. The crypto, AI and VPN is opt in not opt out. So just don’t opt in. If they really bother you. You can use

So…Palestine win?
Man, Watch Dogs predicted the future.
No matter what you think of Eich. The Eich era of Firefox/Mozilla was their golden years. I miss them.

much like how they eventually snuck in their built-in spyware to screenshot your desktop behind the scenes.
Here’s the minimum system requirements for Recall. Like you can see you need a NPU, BitLocker and Windows Hello enabled to use it. Also it’s opt-in.

Will, what’s the point now? Fuck it get an Apple. Why not.
EDIT This is going to be the future for us. Stop sideloading apps, then lock the bootloader.
Can we just block the UK from the Internet. So they can have their own Internet, like China. That will solve a lot of problems.
