    Jesus Christ. All these requirements for something most people didn’t ask for:

    System requirements for Recall

    Your PC needs the following minimum system requirements for Recall:

    A Copilot+ PC
    
    16 GB RAM
    
    8 logical processors
    
    256 GB storage capacity
    
        To enable Recall, you’ll need at least 50 GB of storage space free
    
        Saving screenshots automatically pauses once the device has less than 25 GB of storage space

      Sounds like the way around this is to make swap space take up the drive up to 24 GB. Then trim the swap space as you need it.

      I know it says “to enable” but let’s be real here. It’s going to be a placebo switch.

      That’s a quite normal PC right? Not that I want it though lol good heavens.

      When I think about it my daily only have 4 cores, oh no cant use it (I’m on Linux too, so sad ).

      Or am I missing something with “copilot pc”, does it have to have som special hardware? Asking out of morbid curiosity.

        Yeah, it has to have certain specific types of CPU. They’re making this a requirement for all Windows 11 machines if you want to keep receiving security updates. It’s going to create a mountain of e-waste.

      Wait for them to find a way that everyone will run out and buy 1k+ laptops now. Disregarding privacy, most people only need Chromebooks nowadays.
