Microsoft has already taken a step back: Microsoft implements drastic changes to Recall after criticism
Yeah bur for the non tech oriented user it's still difficult . Most devices bought come with OEM install.
Even for a regular user it's going to sound like There is a virus that reads and remembers everything on your computer but you can turn it off and trust us it would be off.
Microsoft lost my trust a long time ago. For the last 10-15 years, my only relationship with them is, "how much sh*t am I willing to put up with before I switch to something else?"
And CoPilot/Recall was the breaking point.
Aside from the security nightmare, I'm really curious what havoc the LLM can cause by hallucinating stuff, based on how suggestive a question is asked.
Wife on husband's account: "What dating sides did I visit this year?"
"Here are the 5 most popular dating sides you visited last year:..."
"When was the last time employee X watched porn and on what side?"
...
I know that I shouldn't, but here's what I think about this whole deal, illustrated with a single image macro:
Get wrecked, Microsoft.
I think that the article does a good job highlighting how much of a trainwreck this is, because Microsoft is not to be trusted. The Windows users hysterically complaining about this are not expecting Microsoft to behave in some outrageous way; they're expecting Microsoft to behave as usual.
As much as I liked Visual Studio, its privacy intrusiveness was my final straw.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
