Microsoft is relaunching its AI-powered Recall feature, which records everything you do on your PC by constantly taking screenshots.
  • In December, an investigation by Tom’s Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its “filter sensitive information” setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

    Is this going to be the new “Eww, you’re on Android” thing? Mac and Linux users not gonna talk to people purely because they use Windows, now.

    At least in this scenario it would be because of something substantial, rather than some bullshit about colors.

    Relevant quote from the article:

    Beaumont’s advice is simple, but a sobering indictment of the state of affairs.

    “I would recommend that if you’re talking to somebody about something sensitive who is using a Windows PC, that in the future you check if they have Recall enabled first.”

      I moved over to Pop a couple days ago and couldn’t be happier. My games play faster and my printer is faster too for some reason.
