Next they will be using your web cam to take pictures of you because … reasons. Then they will turn on your mic and record so that if you verbalize thoughts that don’t make it to your computer screen you can recall those too. Where does it end? I don’t want to know.
Before that happens, they will just use all that screenshot data to train their AIs.

Thanks, I hate it. Welcome new linux users.

Don’t watch your weird porn collection on Windows, got it.
But it’s perfectly safe you guys. It would take a completely run of the mill virus from literally anywhere to get this data remotely. What are the chances?!
I was just thinking the other day “I should just run Problem Steps Recorder 24/7 because why the fuck not?”
But thanks to MS’ bad idea implementation department I don’t have to!
You know actually this is great way for Microsoft for surveillance. Not all apps and there data was accessible to Microsoft, like some data were encrypted etc. No that they are taking screenshot they can directly run those screenshots through ML Models. ML Models Maybe on device but the output/metadata they produce might be sent to Microsoft. For example Microsoft might run Image-to-Text on device but all the text from output could be sent to Microsoft. Your data will remain on device but Microsoft will still know
to be honest, it’s my personal opinion they were already doing similar things before
Not wrong, just a useful justification…
there is already a similar paid tool for this, not very popular, not as advanced because it doesn’t use AI: https://apse.io/
So basically the same as half the school administered laptops full of remote spyware. We had one of those bought home, supplied to teaching staff, the spyware was never disclosed and it used to sit on a desk in the bedroom. The rule now is we buy and control our own devices, even if they have to run shit like Windows for compatibility on some. Enterprise versions of Windows will almost certainly ship without crap like Recall as it might conflict with the enterprises third party spyware. Unfortunately there is still intense institutional resistance to moving away from the Microsoft ecosystems in some organizations.
Nope, it sure doesn’t. You know why? Because I don’t use windows. That’s why. Haven’t used Windows on a daily basis since like 2018 and have no plans on doing so ever again.
