There's been a lot of youtube videos made on the tech side of it. But, like I say they all make a fair point. It's installed, enabled and hidden. But none of them have shown any evidence of it actually collecting data yet.

This arrived in the 24H2 windows update I think it was about a week ago.

Frankly that sounds like "OK, I did install a camera in your bedroom, but it's not like it's on or anything!"

Definitely. And it's actually "We installed a camera in your bedroom, but it's hidden, you cannot remove it. It's enabled but don't worry it's not recording".

I just ideally would like Microsoft to say something. Because at the moment it's super weird to enable it on PCs that it's not meant to run on.
