No one is listening I’m sorry to say. I corrected a couple people but then realized it was pointless. The discussions in the crossposted communities (which - holy shit I don’t think I’ve seen something so thoroughly spammed across multiple tech communities before) are just as bad or worse.

They have confirmed it was a packaging bug and will be resolved.

It’s just a packaging bug and they said they will fix it.

They literally posted that this is a packaging bug and will be resolved.

I live in a snowy climate and we did just fine before the invention of wireless starters. My car does not have one and we manage just fine.

That is a great QoL, but let’s not pretend this is necessary.

Yes, but we have had remote start without the internet for decades. It’s nothing but a cash grab. That’s what people are upset about here I think.

They took a feature that did not require the internet, then made it require the internet, for literally no purpose except:

But until, companies will push these hardware subscriptions because it nets them more money.

It’s one thing to withhold a feature. It’s another thing to overcomplicate a feature for the purpose of withholding it.

There is no need for the internet to use remote start

Man, if “Microsoft is actively trying to take control of my hardware and prevent me from deciding how it is used” and “Linux has a learning curve and lacks market dominance to get hardware manufacturers to play with them sometimes” seem like equivalent circumstances to you, there is no number of iterations to this back and forth that are going to arrive at any common ground between you and I. I can only say good day to you.

Your statement suggest that if Windows is “trying to work against you” then Linux is “trying to work for you”.

That’s literally not what I said, nor what I implied. If you want to interpret it that way it’s your choice, but I’m not going to defend a statement I didn’t make and didn’t try to make.

You don’t escape that problem entirely in Linux, it just takes different forms. Proprietary vendor Linux hardware drivers would be a perfect example.

I feel like you aren’t distinguishing between “problem exists” and “problem exists because the makers of my OS want it to exist.”

So why hack Windows to make it do what you want?

I literally said this was NOT the question.

I’m skeptical that irrevocably tying the two together is the only or best technological solution to wanting it in the search box.

It’s because Linux isn’t actually trying to work against you, even if it may feel that way to a noobie at first. Guaranteed this requirement exists to make Recall impossible to uninstall, and for no other reason.

The question isn’t “why take the time to hack windows” it’s “why keep supporting a company that requires you to undo so much of the product just to maintain control and privacy with your own hardware, and which actively seeks to sabotage attempts to do so.”

how the fuck could they have possibly done things in a way that makes explorer tabs depend on recall?

It’s very clearly an intentional move to keep it installed.

And as if it’s entirely reasonable for the maker of your OS to intentionally work against your ability to control your own hardware and what runs on it.

The “Riddle Man” wants the answer to be ‘language’ because the question he claims to have asked is what’s the third word in “the English Language.”

If we credulously try to answer the implied question, it’s better to just link this page, but you should read the whole thing.

There is still the perception that it’s too cheap to be good in many cases. I’ve run into this fairly recently. It’s stupid, but it exists, and sometimes it exists in the people making the decisions.

Meta: The company whose products you use when you absolutely, positively, don’t give a shit that they are the worst example of the worst nightmare of a consumer-hostile, privacy-invading, you-are-the-product, tech company. Yes, even worse than Microsoft.

I just got it yesterday and I agree!

Starting with my grandmother, I’ve been warned by the various bakers in my life for about 50 years that the various kinds of raw dough I have wheedled them into giving me or snuck off of their work area will give me a stomach ache or cause other issues. The most recent time I was warned in this way was surely less than 2 months ago.

So far so good, not a single problem, and I never pass up a chance to eat uncooked batter or dough. (Edited to add - if you haven’t tried basic homemade pie crust dough you haven’t lived. It’s not sweet, it’s just good.)

I am absolutely not saying the risk doesn’t exist, but the chance of it seems so minuscule (based on my anecdotal lifelong experience) that I only ever think about it when someone brings it up.

If I bought something prepackaged on a grocery store shelf, like from nabisco or whatever, that was undercooked, I wouldn’t eat it. From the kitchen of a relative or right from a bakery - has never given me pause.

It really is a fantastic album. It bummed me out to realize that the actual lyrics to Particle Man were not quite as meaningful to me as they were when I was mishearing them (lol) but yeah, great album, and honestly I like Lincoln just about as much.

This is how I’ve loved cookies for my entire life. I’m just happy they are easier to find now.

Edit: I’m sincerely amused that someone downvoted me for expressing my opinion on the kinds of cookies I like. I didn’t know this was a “ketchup on steak” level issue. 🤣
