Yet something else to disable in Windows. I’m losing track of each thing at this point.
Yeah, that’s the issue with the argument of ‘just turn it off’. You can turn it off, then tomorrow there will be another thing to turn off (hope you were paying attention to the news to find out what it was!). The next day an update will come along and turn half of them back on. The following the mental script you made to will stop working because they moved half the settings, etc, etc, etc.
It’s a never ending battle as Microsoft fundamentally does not respect their paying users. Microsoft could add a top-level toggle box to automatically disable bloatware, telemetry, and the privacy nightmare that is OP’s story about how the OS records everything you do, but they don’t have this. They don’t want you turning this stuff off, they don’t respect you.
Off by default, or else I’m done
There are many Linux communities just waiting to give you a welcoming high five. Why wait to be disappointed by MS?
I’m using linux at home, but seriously, normal office work runs on windows.
Could you imagine how SWEET this feature would be if it was a Encrypted FOSS Self Hosted Service?
The base idea isn’t bad, it just needs some tweaking, such as not screenshotting sensitive or private data, being free open source software, and Linux availability.
Hah, jokes on them, my university is too poor to afford copilot.

It’s interesting to see that even such sites as tomshardware are writing about it, because, at least how I see it, they are not a privacy-centric site where things like this are often a topic
