   Is it just me, or has Microsoft gone completely crazy? They are implementing spyware that takes screenshots every second and forcing AI integration. Why would anyone willingly purchase this? Anyone with experience in computer or information security knows that it is a bad idea, even if it is locally done. Just don't do it. Yet, here we are, and they are doubling down on this idea. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/ #privacy #security

     At this point, Apple should simply skip deep AI integration in iOS and macOS. Focus on third-party apps for LLM. Capture more market share while Microsoft is busy pushing spyware. Tim Cook, this WILL BE YOUR legacy, not Vision Pro. This will be useful for those who need Adobe (i know another monster) or other apps for work stuff.

     I tell you, those who abuse their spouse or kids are absolutely going to love this feature, apart from bad actors. 99.9% of people don't even know this is turned on by default, and everything they do is captured and viewed by bad actors or abusers. Microsoft is not just a monopoly, but they don't like family values or privacy or safety. They are going to put innocent people's lives in danger. ABUSE is written all over this crap.

     @nixCraft as a domestic violence victim advocate who is forced to use Windows at work, this has me terrified for the confidentiality of our work computers.

     @nixCraft Not to worry. They have a fail safe. In a few years your Comp running Microlimp will Crash and burn with all your data.

     @nixCraft I suspect North Korea would be very interested in a modern operating system that does everything they customised a Linux distro to do, but even better.

     @nixCraft Reminds me, unhappily, of my school days where every computer was like this.

     Fortunately, my old work laptop runs on Windows XP and I never did upgrade my old gaming laptop to Windows 11, so it’s back to those I go.

     @nixCraft there a couple billion Devices, how on earth would you store screen recording almost all of them.

     I mean 99.99999% of that is meaningless cat pictures.
