    It's worth noting that Microsoft's privacy practices have drawn scrutiny, and they are known to collaborate with 3 letter agencies.
    If you choose to continue using this spyware services, please be aware that the information collected may be used in ways that Microsoft deems appropriate as they have questionable ToS. They are not trustworthy vendors. You have been warned.

    @nixCraft I just want to say I totally called it on this. They are so obsessed about "Recall" that they will bring it to desktops too.

    I want to be clear on one thing. Unless this thing has insane system requirements for an app that will drive everyone up a wall screaming at Microsoft burning up desktops and basically wiping out laptops for breakfast, the only way it can do this while having decent performance is if it's sending those screenshots to a Microsoft LLM server. Quite a lot of affected computers don't have high end GPUs to accelerate this (nor do those that do want it filling VRAM and ramping the processor randomly.)

    I still think eventually Copilot on even desktop/laptop is going to do a full blown "Recall" -- implemented fully by sending screenshots to Microsoft.

    @nixCraft

    This stuff is cool in the abstract sense. What you imagine is a Star Trek computer that acts as an intelligent virtual assistant, analyzing problems, and creating novel solutions.

    What you get is a virtual dumbass that gives wrong answers, breaches security, and rats you out to the highest bidder.

    It's especially dangerous because the dream is alluring, and people overlook the problems, or aren't aware of them in the first place.

    Cool! I can't _wait_ for it to spy on my banking accounts and tell me I should cut down on the pub visits with my brother, and did I know the vegetable souffle I like to order is actually made with chicken stock!
