Personally i’m all for it, no one I know likes it and even the most aggressive linux hater I know has switched to saying that they’ll probably try it after win 10 eol
Best advertising campain I’ve ever seen, just not for the product they are trying to advertise
This isn’t file backup. This takes a screenshot every few minutes, OCRs it, and stores all that in an unencrypted SQLite file in your user folder for anyone to grab.
Basically anything on your screen is recorded and stored, theoretically forever.
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.

I hate this feature but if that UI is real it’s beautiful
Microsoft claims it’s offline, but how sure can we be? I smell what the rock is cooking.
it’s a penis in the door 🚪
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

Who even wants this? What good is it? I see no use case.

If it was local only, and more security focused I would 100%.
My ADHD. brain needs an AI assistant.
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.
Great for mining data to use in the next iteration of ChatGPT
How many screenshots of security “disasters” does a person really need?
Set furry porn as your desktop.
no don’t do this
That will punish those who violate your privacy.
