A few words about the new Microsoft Recall busting feature. People on Mastodon probably know about it already, but still — WTF? Just store everything in a local database that seems to be insecure even before release?

Well, that didn't take long...

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

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" ???

' upcoming feature is enabled by default btw in the OOBE setup and CANNOT be disabled directly - you will need to disable it in the Settings app instead, afterwards.

I don't know if you'd trust to actually respect that setting either, wouldn't be the first and only setting on Windows that doesn't actually do anything you'd want it to (or not to) do.

OH and also - Microsoft stores all the Recall data in an database in plaintext, so you KNOW it's secure and definitely not easy to steal away from you by anyone that gains physical or remote access to your device <3

"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.

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.

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.

Das "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.

to "invest" $3.2bn in in , "drawing on the country's green energy"

When you read that "AI consumes as much energy as a small country", that country is now Sweden.

And this basically means the country's public power infrastructure is being sold out to private interests.

Shit like this makes me livid.
