Windows 11 and a new "experience" called Recall

As for CMD.... I'd be totally lost without that...

• My isp ToS allows them to gather all sorts of metrics from my browsing habits and to share / sell them as they see fit. Not sure if running through a VPN will hide any of this?
• I've read that many GPS systems in cars (and, allegedly, Apple CarPlay / Google Maps on your phone) gather metrics about your driving locations and driving styles (including actual speed versus posted speed limits) for onward distribution. Could this be impacting the price of your next car insurance renewal?

As I understand it, a VPN would hide your browsing information from the ISP; however, that being said, if you want to decrease any ISP snooping, use another DNS server, too.

There were a few articles on ArsTechnica (technology news site) about auto insurance and tracking:

I came across a YouTube video a few days ago that describes how Recall is now required to use the new File Explorer in the 24H2 update for Windows 11. It is an interesting video:

I disowned windows when seven came out and switched to mint.

It's interesting seeing what Microsoft is doing with their Recall project - all in the negative sense. While I will not use Windows and Ars Technica is providing additional information about Microsoft's Recall.
