I once lived somewhere I was sharing wifi with the neighbors, any time I’d right click on some porn Windows would give the option to stream it to their smart tv, I could not figure out how to disable it so this no longer happens.

Those saying it’s not a real thing, it kind of is but not as how green text suggests. My dad, for reasons, had certain images of a flirtatious neighbor (uuuuugghhh!!) and also had a OneDrive app on his phone for work which has a habit of deciding quite randomly what to share.
According to him, which do take this with a grain of salt, OneDrive shared these photos not just with IT at his job, but frequently threatened to share the images with contacts. Also, his Alexa app got in on the fun and displayed the images to his echo show… I needed eye bleach.
Can this be done on PC? Y’know, plausible. I’ve had windows randomly make porn my wallpaper before, and that was in my spare drive and in a folder labeled 2005 tax info. And that wasn’t even recent, who knows now.

Technologically impaired pervy old people and Windows are always a bad mix.
I was once the trigger to fire an old accounting guy from a company because I was helping him do something with a cloud feature of office and a porn notification showed up. He had inadvertently installed some notifications from a porn website.
After the awkwardest silence in history I had to inform him that I needed to report that to management. He just said, ok.
IT later discovered that he was not only watching porn on company time. He was also taking creep pictures of female coworkers and saving them to the company gdrive. Upon further notice, he was not only a pervert, he was also embezzling money. We had to file several criminal charges against him.
I guess the old adage of ‘break only one law at a time’ holds true. If he weren’t a pervert we never would’ve noticed the stealing.

with how thoroughly I’ve seen my friends and family fuck up their pcs, the above story does not surprise me at all. I myself have had obscure issues with windows that other people find unbelievable.

Agreed, i literally can’t imagine being so computer illiterate as to make the described events happen.

I like the part where windows selects a random media you have in your web browser tabs to show on the lock screen.
LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
What the actual fuck. You know, I lock the screen because I don’t want people to see what I am doing.

I had this once, and I don’t know why and how it happened. I live in a shared flat, otherwise I wouldn’t care. Ever since I use a veracrypt to store such stuff, so that it doesn’t happen ever again.

My work machine occasionally displays the contents of the active cell in Excel over the lockscreen. I can’t imagine this going wrong. It’s somewhat rare but I’m ready to take photos the next time it happens, could yield some bug bounty.

Cinnamon DE does that on my Linux system.
glitchdx@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
doesn’t bother me because anyone snooping deserves to be traumatized. However, it’s linux, I’m sure there’s a setting for that.

Maybe they’re the one person who uses Edge. I could see Edge pulling that kind of shit.

That doesn’t exist. I’m looking at the page right now and this does not exist.

I’m certain they do this maliciously.

I love that anons can’t realize that this is obviously fake and intentional to make you paranoid enough to make the unix/linux swap. Windows recall is here. This post is fake for now…but it’s a matter of time folks
Trollception@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
This makes me distrust Linux more coincidentally. If someone keeps telling me over and over to use something I am less likely to have positive opinion of it. That and I tried Linux for a home theater streaming client device and it was a train wreck. No proper HDR support, no Dolby Atmos, issues with VRR, display not remembering settings/DPI. I gave up and went to windows and was done with it in an hour.

What if I told you your inability to do something was not an argument against it?

I’m guessing it’s hyperbole based on microsofts newest push for its OS to save all your data to their servers instead of your own hdd and maybe a hint of the gross Windows Recall "feature"in win11.
oo1@lemmings.world 3 weeks ago
Yes surely fake.
But anyone using MS OneDrive for personal stuff might want to check with some privacy advice - and I doubt MS are going to recommend doing that.
If MS is giving large increases in cloud storage and bandwidth for free/very cheap one wonders whether there’s anything in it for MS. Again MS might not feel the need to say.

No, absolutely not lol

The heck kind of windows did that? Never heard of the photos app doing either of those things, especially sending emails without your permission.
