Just my opinion, the CEO of Microsoft appears to be smiling, seemingly bragging about this display of power, because he knows this Recall 'feature' is not wanted and will cause people to recoil as they realize there will be no more anonymous posting on the Internet, no more anonymity for anyone.

While it sounds like this invasive, Big Brother Recall feature is expected in the future; I think they are bragging about it now in a desperate attempt to chill online objections to the election theft and their next plandemic etc. They haven't been able to use this feature to stop Trump or Trump supporters. We need to get President Trump in office so he can stop this 'new' threat to free speech.

I recall Biden threatened about 3 years ago that the office he created would be focused 'like a laser' on 'misinformation' to discourage us from supporting Trump, and yet we still have enough freedom of speech to expose the Deep State's election interference and support him into first place in the up coming election.

Now there is a stupid idea.
Fill your computer storage with screenshots you can’t delete.
Can we bring back the “Blue Screen of Death”
At least we know how to fix it.

Good to hear as there are many times that I want to dig up something from the past.

Maybe he can tell me how to turn off using OneDrive as the default storage location for files. Every time I turn around it is back as the default storage location and I have to manually select my computer to save files.

Locally is a curse word to Microsoft.

Gee, good thing storage is getting so cheap.

I wonder how much a yottabyte of storage at the NSA Data Storage Center costs compared to at Microsoft and Google etc.

This kind of data is useless- there is just too much of it.

BUT... get on their radar and then “let’s see what you’ve been up to”

There could be this reaction from some people that this is pretty creepy. Microsoft is taking screenshots of everything I do.

Which makes conservatives look gullible. Windows is not taking screenshots of everything I do unless you choose to implement this in the future, and knowledgeable users should know it.

Microsoft’s launching Recall for Copilot Plus PCs, a new Windows 11 tool that keeps track of everything you see and do on your computer and, in return, gives you the ability to search and retrieve anything you’ve done on the device.

If this technology sounds familiar, Microsoft tried something less powerful in Windows 10 with Timeline but discontinued the feature in 2021. It’s also because there’s already a very similar app for Mac called Rewind. The software works on M-series Macs and, like Recall, logs everything you do, listens to all of your meetings, and gives you access to a chatbot to recall anything. With Recall, however, you’re getting deep, native integration into Windows, while Rewind is a third-party app you have to install and hand over system permissions.

Recall won’t work with every Windows 11 computer. You’ll have to buy one of several fresh new “Copilot Plus PCs” powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite chips, which have the neural processing unit (NPU) required for Recall to work.The minimum hard drive space needed to run Recall is 256 GB, and 50 GB of space must be available.

If this means on the computer rather than "cloud" then those computers are going to need a room-size hard drive to store screenshots like that.

I think scare mongering.

Yeah. I mean that's why that you can only do it on the edge. So you have to put two things together. This is my computer; this is my Recall. And it's all being done locally.

At least he has a sense of humor!
