This can't be a good idea. As part of their Copilot+ AI shit, it will take screenshots every few seconds and supposedly hackers would need physical access to your computer to see them. It's bad enough with Microsoft updates using way too much CPU and harddisk resources. Your computer will likely be slowed down if it's taking screenshots every few seconds. Most people are too dumb and leave all the default settings as is.

This is as bad as giving the Amazon delivery guy full access to your home where he's only there to delivery Amazon packages.

Let's get this feature for more Sherdoggers instead of Redditors. This way the AI will be trained to be a based alpha algorithm that bangs Nvidia dimes, rather than a confused incel Reddit mod

Will probably be fixed with an illegal patch in 2 minutes after the feature is enabled.
 
Well you can always just turn it off, or not buy an AI PC. It's not a normal laptop it is powered by Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X processors made for AI, so it will not be slow, or cheap.

For people that do work on their computer and not use it to jerk off all day it is a neat feature.
 
Im boutta give some Big Brother stooges PTSD for reals when they review my shit

Taking screenshots isn't going to tax the processors Recall is limited to. We're talking notebooks that start at $999 right now, and Intel and AMD notebooks that qualify can't even be that much lower priced come the back half of the year.
 
What would possibly the user benefit of your computer taking screenshots every few seconds?
It opens open device-level search that wouldn't be limited to a program or text or metadata. So for example, you would theoretically be able to tell your computer, "Pull up a slide deck or conversation I had 5 months ago, it was about this subject and the slide background color was blue or it was with this person." Things like that, it's essentially enhanced search.

It'll be paired in with the standard generative AI stuff (note taking, summaries, etc.)
 
Thou shall not have abortion, thou shall not have contraceptives, thou shall not fap. The screenshots every few seconds sounds like setting up the groundwork for some sort of enforcement and fishing expedition when they seize your computer.
 
Lmao shit bounce for Microsoft considering the ease other tech giants have in getting people to give their entire privacy away
 
As a rule of thumb, when government, military or corporate powers say that they're "thinking" of doing something, they've already been doing it for like 10 years.

Windows has been a privacy nightmare since 10. You know shit's bad when you have to follow a long ass guide to install it without the spyware, and even then it's closed-source software so there's certainly some degree of spying you can't block. Linux is the future for people that still have some brain cells left.
