Have you seen what microsoft is pushing on 11??

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No. I once accidentally installed the update, but immediately returned to 10, when I saw how it looks. But I imagine, with some settings and add-ons I can make it look like 10.

The issue is not with the appearance. It's the fact that microsoft keeps pushing AI into everything. The settings app is still shit and missing control panel functionality. There is more to say but these are the main issues afaik.

In addition to the front facing AI features, these days Windows 11 is less an operating system and more a 'suck as much data about this person to train our AI models as we can get away with'.

Windows Recall is one of their AI solutions they're pushing onto people which would screenshot everything on your system in order to assist users in searching through previous desktop interactions and whatnot.

Security researchers are highly against the rollout of this 'feature' as it uses AI and the previous betas have shown that Microsoft is incapable of ensuring the prevention of abuse from malicious users.

Ex: a user entering in their credit card information for an online transaction would have that information stored as an indexable/searchable piece of information by a malicious outsider.

Microsoft has yet to show competance in their abilities to prevent the creation of such a wide attack surface.
