    You can turn it off. Opt-out is still bullshit.

            They do find it regularly. Its not even a secret, they are openly advertising it as a feature.

            AND ALEXA IS LISTENING TO ME 24X365 DAYS A YEAR!

            It is… thats its purpose…

            I think you are in the wrong place on lemmy if you are so willingly blind to the realities of tech companies.

      until your computer force reboots itself in the middle of the day to do updates it didn’t tell you about, and you log back in and later that night find it uploaded all your shit to the cloud and just for good measure deleted some of it too as a fuck you

      The true opt out is to stop using Microsoft products

        You can’t opt out, most healthcate providers use windows.

        Mental health awareness? No thanks, I rather just write in a journal and talk to myself in the mirror as therapy.

      I don’t trust Microsoft not to flip that switch back when I’m not looking.

      Microsoft all about opting out rather than opting in.
