What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We don't... big corpo Microsoft does.
The idea is moderately appealing. I've definitely tried to find "that one thing that mentioned that other thing I saw 2 weeks ago" before.
But outside of Facebook (and TikTok/tencent/whoever), Microsoft is right up there with companies I wouldn't consider letting anywhere near it. And the complete absence of any concept of security in their first version would have completely disqualified it from being trustworthy even without their awful track record. You don't do something, then "add security" and get acceptable results.
I can’t wait to miss it
Gretchen, stop trying to make “~~fetch~~Recall” happen. It’s not going to happen.
Requires Microsoft Hello, which seems to be a biometric login, which as I understand it means that it is not covered under 5th amendment protections against self-incrimination. You can't simply refuse to give up your fingerprint or facial recognition, and now cops just plainly have access to whatever your computer usage history is.
There are options not to install MS crap on your computer.
Sure, I'm a Linux user.
Microsoft Hello can also be a PIN.
A PIN isn't exactly high security...
The default Windows Hello PIN
- Must be at least 4 characters long
- Can’t be longer than 127 characters
- May include uppercase letters
- May include lowercase letters
- May include digits
- May include special characters
That’s plenty secure and is not biometric.
The pin can be numbers, letters and symbols as well though
Microsoft has hatched a plan to make tons of money off of this.
How do I know? It is Microsoft. They don't do anything unless they have planned it all out and run the math. Even with some PR hits it will still be a net positive in income.
