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 Exactly what the non-windows-specific rewind.ai does. But at least in rewind’s case the processing is private and local to one’s machine. I don’t subscribe, but it’s easy to think of reasons it could be useful as a kind of augmented memory.

@arstechnica one would think HP would be more concerned about people using (horrors!) third-party usb flash drives in HP-branded printers and computers. A nefarious supervillain can fit a lot more malware on one of those than on a printer cartridge lockout chip.
