Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

    Tbf I’m okay with a lot of this stuff as long as it stays local on your own PC and you have control over it. However I don’t trust MS to implement it in a way that doesn’t prioritise their profits over my privacy.

      Furthermore, I don’t trust Microsoft to not do a gigantic oopsie and introduce a bug that emails screenshots of porn websites I visited to my Mum or some shit. Their QC is abhorrent.

        Soon: “We’ve notice there was a backdoor for 20 years, in that open source library, that was actively abused, that allowed for full access to the AI remind me recordings.” upsi daisy.

          The bug was well documented and we own the git platform it was written on, but hey, we ain’t got time for that. Too busy implementing new menus that look worse and do less than the old ones so we have to keep the old ones around anyway.

        Hahaha. Worse yet if Windows AI starts recording you doing that with your webcam while sending your mom a ransomware email.

        AI gone bad.

        Along with a copy of a “encrypted messege” to your wife where you said turkey sucked last thankgiving.

        For a good measure.

      Until MS makes an oopsie and leaks everything and not a single fuck is given by your local government.

      Much like Apple is dealing with right now.

      I’d also be very unsurprised to learn that MS is harvesting the metadata. “Private” and “secure”, much like WhatsApp.

      Available information indicates that it’s all processed and stored on-device (and even encrypted). I’ll wait for confirmation from security researchers, but the available information I’ve come across says that it’s all done locally.
