Microsoft’s new “Recall” feature will record everything you do on your PC

Recall uses Copilot+ PC features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

@arstechnica Didn't they already try this with the Task View years ago and nobody used it?

@arstechnica "At first glance, the Recall feature seems like it may set the stage for potential gross violations of user privacy. Despite reassurances from Microsoft, that impression persists for second and third glances as well." You don't say. The only thing I want to know about this feature is how to disable it.

@arstechnica Better not use “show password” anywhere from then on. LLMs leak their training data. So if someone later queries it on your machine (encrypted storage or not), that’s a problem.

@arstechnica They already do, since the release of Windows 10 infact.

And US Intelligent Services like the NSA ... not to mention Hackers ... ?

@arstechnica Corporations: we have proof that at 12:30pm you looked for 3.1245s at sport news. We have to cut your pay by 50% for six months

We totally believe them, right?
