Don’t worry, DRM-ed content isn’t recorded, so big companies’ IP is protected.
Make Mario my desktop background and stay protected forever by the holy power of Nintendo's lawyers.
If the data stays on a local device why is drm protection even necessary 🤔
Always keep Netflix open and playing to stay safe?
I think only the player is blocked, and would be shown in the screenshots as a black rectangle
Imagine trying to use Wireshark on windows to debug or look at some service.
Just an avalanche of packets going to 20 different domains on idle.
No, no. You see, Recall runs locally. It's "edge computing". Which would imply to me that it runs on my router...? Anyway, it's not the cloud, it's edge and AI and surely super cyber, too (whatever that means). My point is, I could give you many more buzzwords, so don't worry. You won't need Wireshark ever again, just ask the AI if your network is secured. 👍
I just installed Nobara today so I could finally rid myself of Windows hell and it’s been amazing.
Is that a linux distro?
Nobara is a Fedora distro(essentially backed by IBM) by Glorious Eggroll (developer who made Proton GE) designed to be more gaming user oriented, as many of its preincluded configs and applications were tailored to gamers.
Calling Fedora IBM backed feels so wrong but technically true I guess.
It is, a gaming focused Fedora distro to be exact.
Kinda funny, not too long ago it was a fun mental exercise if you were paying attention to the tech industry to try to think of the ways in which Google or MS could fall.
Now, AFAICT, neither are falling any time soon, but there certainly seems to be a shift in how they're perceived and how their brand sits in the market (where even so I'm still probably in a bubble on this).
But I'm not sure how predictable it would have been that both would look silly stumbling for AI dominance.
And, yea, I'm chalking recall up to the AI race as it seems like a grab for training data to me, and IIRC there were some clues around that this could be true.
If you’re faced with the tradeoff between security and another priority, your answer is clear: Do security. In some cases, this will mean prioritizing security above other things we do, such as releasing new features or providing ongoing support for legacy systems. This is key to advancing both our platform quality and capability such that we can protect the digital estates of our customers and build a safer world for all.

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.
FTFY: Windows ~~feature that screenshots everything labeled~~ is a security “disaster”
Microsoft claims it's offline, but how sure can we be? I smell what the rock is cooking.
Even if it was 100% offline. For how long? Microsoft can change that with a patch at any time. Suddenly all your personal files are being fed into GPT with no consent.
No more windows for me. I've been back and forth with windows 11 and Linux but been on Linux for awhile. Last windows I used full time was 7
Not even completely removing Windows from your life will help. Anyone you interact with through email or instant message or social media will have screen-scraped copies of the entire interaction. And that would be bad enough if only a single person gets hacked and has their Recall data hijacked. There will be huge databases available that people will be able to freely cross reference. They'll still be able to build a quite extensive profile on you just through all of your interactions that get scraped from others.
Doesn't matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.
I miss when Microsoft was just evil and greedy and not stupid.
I mean who is surprised at this point?
How many screenshots of security "disasters" does a person really need?
I hate this feature but if that UI is real it's beautiful
It's not, it just a marketing image.
Say what you will about Microsoft and Win11 but their 3D animated trailers and marketing images look amazing
How does this make Microsoft money? What's their path to selling the result of this feature?
Probably targeted ads, since they claim the data doesn't leave the device, they get the AI to figure out what type of ads to show.
No shit.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
