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 could be great if all of it was stored and ran on device. I have been looking at building an AI server for home for that kind of stuff but I cant afford it lol

We totally believe them, right?
"Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements. Screenshots are only available to the person whose profile was used to sign in to the device," Microsoft says.

@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

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

@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 "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 Sounds like Zeitgeist on Linux but powered by AI, right?
