i see a lot of people very *upset* about the new "recall" feature of windows. and i genuinely don't understand why, it's literally such a cool feature and i would 100% use it if i used windows i used https://rewind.ai for a while, and it was so incredibly useful a lot of times it's insane. having a 24/7 searchable screen recording and the ability to go back in *virtual time* is, like, very cool and useful when you "remember you saw that thing but only remember a few words from it" one of the few things i hate about chrome is that it doesn't store history indefinitely (and there aren't any good extensions that do that). i lost so many good resources/articles/etc because of that.. and this "recall" is basically that but system-wide! > but it's literally a keylogger! and? how is that bad if everything stays on your device and it's not like they are forcing you to use it clipboard history is a keylogger too then, and it has been in windows for a few years already > but it's llm-powered! afaiu, that llm thing is a) local and b) optional you don't need ai to screenshot your screen lol > but what if scammer/stealer/fbi/etc! first of all honestly skill issue, don't run untrusted code and don't let anyone you don't trust use your computer. or just don't use this feature lol, it's fucking optional after all second – it would take them quite some time to upload the entire 25+gb archive somewhere. and even if that malware did some pre-processing to extract "useful" data, it would require quite some heuristics to determine what data is useful and what is random garbage. it's literally so much easier to just dump your cookies/tokens/etc directly than scrape those logs... i honestly doubt any mainstream stealer software will even bother with this > but what if it's not local! again. you don't have to use it if you don't trust that it is... but logically speaking, it's just impractical to stream the screen 24/7 from millions of computers. it would cost microsoft too much without any real profit. and like, windows has had telemetry ever since win10, and im pretty sure there are a few fbi backdoors too. this feature is literally not it :haggard:
