So that just means anyone BUT Microsoft will have a harder time trying to find out what you're doing.

Are they missing the fucking point?

Depends how they implemented the encryption. But you’re probably right

Too late. Still not enough to keep me from going back to Linux. Especially now that I'm all excited to try NixOS with Hyprland. This was your last mistake, Microsoft. 🫤

Whoa, whoa, whoa... The Linux fans ASSURED me this would be both a feature you can't turn off, and a feature they bury the toggle for deep under layers of frustration.

Surprised pikachu

I'll bet you a dollar that becomes the case within a year or two, after the attention dies down.
