I'm finally caught up on the Microsoft Recall feature coming to Windows 11, and my very first question is who even wants this?

Who has sat there and went "oh yeah, I forgot what I was doing 5 mins ago on my pc and I absolutely cannot spend a few mins thinking about it or pressing the back button to remember" ???

I know 's Feedback Hub probably doesn't actually go anywhere, but it was a bit cathartic filling this out anyway.

Microsoft has patched bypasses for setting up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. Previous methods like terminating a process or using a blocked email now loop back to account linking. Users can still bypass this via a command prompt trick.

Well, that didn't take long...

There is now an automated tool for hackers to extract all data collected by windows recall.

Can anyone point me to a straightforward explainer of what #Microsoft is up to just now with this #Recall thing - in language understandable to the layperson?

Window's AI-powered Recall feature is an absolute train wreck.

"Security Researcher Calls Windows 11 AI 'Recall' Screenshotting Feature a Disaster"

Take constant screen grabs of my screen and feed it into an AI? What could go wrong?

"With Recall, hackers are able to scrape "everything you've ever looked at within seconds," and users should prepare for "AI powered super breaches.""

Who could have predicted this idea would go south? Have to say, zero chance I'm bringing this tech into my setup.

Sometimes I wonder if the marketing team at #github is mad that #microsoft stole the copilot branding and took it over. Like imagine being the github sales people after Microsoft keeps saying they're bringing copilot to everyone for free. "No you should keep paying us for our copilot, even though we're owned by Microsoft and they are also selling you copilot. They're different copilots."

Veo gente que depende en exclusiva de software de #Microsoft igual que los artistas que dependen exclusivamente de software de #Adobe y no soy capaz de imaginarme tranquilamente apostando todo a una sola compañía aun sabiendo que esa compañía está dejando de ofrecer un buen servicio y perdiendo la ventaja competitiva frente a otras a nivel de utilidad y accesibilidad.
Para usos puntuales que siguen resultando convenientes es razonable, pero no tener ni la menor curiosidad en aprender de otras...

#SPD, #Gruene und #FDP haben eigentlich in ihrem Koalitionsvertrag vereinbart, dass Aufträge für #Software „in der Regel als Open Source beauftragt“ werden. Denn der verbreitete Einsatz von #Microsoft-Produkten steht schon lange in der Kritik.

Das #microsoft #Recall "Feature" ist tatsächlich ein riesiges Desaster aus Benutzer Sicht. Ich konnte das fast nicht glauben, aber dieser Thread hier zeigt deutlich, was tatsächlich dahinter steckt. Spoiler Alert - das hat mit AI mal überhaupt gar nichts zu tun:

Besonders toll finde ich, dass wirklich alles aufgezeichnet wird (Passwörter, verschwindende Nachrichten, nachträglich gelöschte Inhalte) - außer DRM geschützte Inhalte aus Hollywood.

Microsoft bloquea la solución alternativa de Windows 11 que habilita las cuentas locales
Muchos usuarios utilizan un truco de correo electrónico para evitar la creación de una cuenta de Microsoft. Al parecer, esto ha sido detenido por Microsoft.

Me da a mi que Microsoft le está haciendo el trabajo a Linux para que este aumente su cuota de usuarios.

of all the things wrong with copilot's recall

and there are so fucking many things wrong with it

one of the most amazingly wrong things is that... they're already throwing "ai" bullshit at these screencaps they're doing every five seconds, right? that's what does the OCR and also does the LLM-driven description for the search functionality later

and yet no one

NO. ONE.

thought to tell it

"and don't save screens with the word 'password' on them."

YOU COULD DO THIS WITH GREP, YOU STUPID FUCKS, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! IT'S NOT HARD!

And yet, here we are.
