Microsoft starts final Windows Recall testing before rollout (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

Microsoft is gradually rolling out the AI-powered Windows Recall feature to Insiders in the Release Preview channel before making it generally available to all Windows users with Copilot+ PCs.

Recall is an opt-in Windows feature that screenshots active windows every few seconds, analyzes them, and allows Windows 11 users to search text within the snapshots using natural language.

As the Windows Insider Program Team said on Thursday, Recall can be paused whenever needed and will only allow access to the data it captures after authenticating via Windows Hello.

Imagine paying for a surveillance machine that takes pictures and records everything you do ready to regurgitate it to anyone who asks. The fact that anyone sees this as anything other than dystopian is a bridge to far for me.

Micromanaging bosses dream.

PIP justification dream.

LLM training data.

Employee scoring system.

Android has been doing shit like this for years. It’s a marketing tool more than anything. But there’s a weird tribalism around Android so everyone just forgives it. But when windows does it people suddenly care about privacy.

I’m tired.

Its not like there isn't a backlash against Android either. There's a reason why projects like GrapheneOS exist.
