    oh, Microsoft got even better at spying on people?

    come on, this is a bug, not a feature.

      This is so true. Every “improvement” of their software is a way to collect more data.

      Yeah, just ingesting more data for their ai.

      Also, android police blocked me from reading that fawning and poorly written article. Thank you reader view

        Just use KDE connect (it’s also available on windows). Just open your file browser and select the last screenshot on your phone. (It mount your phone as removable media)

        It’s all local and you don’t have to send any extra info to Microsoft as added bonus.

        All this new and fancy stuff is already solved on Linux for a long time and on windows long before Microsoft “invented” it. By great free and open source projects.
