Don’t worry, DRM-ed content isn’t recorded, so big companies’ IP is protected.
Make Mario my desktop background and stay protected forever by the holy power of Nintendo’s lawyers.
Can you add a banknote or EURion symbol somewhere to dissuade image-processing software?
Kirbo will step in with Luigi with a cross.
If the data stays on a local device why is drm protection even necessary 🤔

Imagine trying to use Wireshark on windows to debug or look at some service.
Just an avalanche of packets going to 20 different domains on idle.

the only irl person I know says it like: “no, shit-sherlock” and that’s just how I read it in my head now
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 spaceSounds 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.
At least hopefully companies will stop selling laptops with 8Gb of soldered ram.
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.
I’ll just stick with my 4-core cpu then… Edit: is logical both core and threads?
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.
Kinda funny, not too long ago it was a fun mental exercise if you were paying attention to the tech industry to try to think of the ways in which Google or MS could fall.
Now, AFAICT, neither are falling any time soon, but there certainly seems to be a shift in how they’re perceived and how their brand sits in the market (where even so I’m still probably in a bubble on this).
But I’m not sure how predictable it would have been that both would look silly stumbling for AI dominance.
And, yea, I’m chalking recall up to the AI race as it seems like a grab for training data to me, and IIRC there were some clues around that this could be true.
So Windows 11 has a built-in keylogger!
Who even wants this? What good is it? I see no use case.
Microsoft is talking control over its ecosystem. Will it police your os for piracy? Look at what you do so it can sell you products? The use case is infinite once they have the data
I love the idea of exo brain/second brain where AI helps me keep track of all of my stuff and recall stuff.
But I want to extend myswlf not assimilate to the Microsoft Borg collective lol
Audit trail in a corporate environment maybe. Assuming non-Microsoft admins have access to that data, it could be a benefit.
Can’t imagine the risk it introduces though.
And resource usage overhead.
I would 100% use this. I have ADHD and having the ability to recall something I did days or even weeks ago and query things I did in the past is amazing.
“Hey, I messed up my home assistant automation and can’t remember what my old automation was that was working. Can you find it?”
“I had a meeting a month ago with my boss Collen and he showed me a deck about this or that data point. Bring that power point deck up”.
The use cases are endless. This is literally a game changer.
yes, but it should be opt-in not opt-out. It should not exist in my os unless I install it myself.
I could apply this line to so many things microsoft put into windows since xp.
There is an opt out option. You even get 50gb of space back when you do. You can even set which apps can or can’t be part of the recall program. You can delete all the data like how you would delete browser history.
I think the main thing is that you’re in control of the data.
I also have ADHD and would benefit from it just like you said, however, I wouldn’t trust Microsoft with anything related to privacy & security based on their track record. This is going to be the last piece in a huge puzzle that makes me switch to macOS confidently.
Very fair.
i can’t wait to show it my nuts
“Sorry, Microsoft cannot recall your nuts. We haven’t developed the technology to zoom in to that level of details.”
Sorry for that. It was just too easy to pass up.
thank you Steven

Great for mining data to use in the next iteration of ChatGPT
If it was local only, and more security focused I would 100%.

FTFY: Windows
feature that screenshots everything labeledis a security “disaster”Microsoft claims it’s offline, but how sure can we be? I smell what the rock is cooking.
Doesn’t matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.
Bye bye windows
it’s a penis in the door 🚪
It’s using a snapdragon elite specific chip that can handle the AI offline.
While we don’t yet know if it can be a hackers wet dream, we do know that there are use cases for it
Yes I can agree there can be positive uses for AI, but I don’t really see any transparency from current AI companies to trust them.
Unfortunately, that ship has already sailed. AI will be a disruptor. You not using it won’t change anything. Only laws and legislative action will fix things.
I hate this feature but if that UI is real it’s beautiful
How many screenshots of security “disasters” does a person really need?
Microsoft: trust us bro!
How does this make Microsoft money? What’s their path to selling the result of this feature?
Probably targeted ads, since they claim the data doesn’t leave the device, they get the AI to figure out what type of ads to show.
No shit.
