Microsoft Windows 11 "RECALL"

[Gluma]

Microsoft is planning total monitoring with an update called Recall, which will take screenshots of the current screen every 5 seconds. For this action 10% of the memory on each installed hard drive will be reserved. That would be awesome if we could get all gamers to switch to Linux. In any case, I'm getting fed up with Microsoft. I would be interested in your opinion on this.

... Or you simply turn it off.

Fun fact: such a function HAS ALREADY EXISTED IN WINDOWS! Doing exactly that, saving a history of what you're doing for you later to recall, including cloud sync.

OPTIONAL cloud sync, as well as the whole thing being optional. But hey, I guess outrage is cheaper, than looking at history.

... or the present, there's a clipboard history, including cloud sync which is optional. Both cloud & history itself are optional, that is. TURN. IT. OFF. PROBLEM. SOLVED.

sounds a bit like the ye olde diagnostic record function that you use for trouble shooting

its not as easy as just saying turn it off, normies are a big demographic that won't even know. Like my Mum won't even know she will just use the computer not knowing.

The only reason she will turn it off is because i would tell her too, she not going towindows 11 anway i already told her not to.

As the feature will ask you at first what you want to set.....yes, it is quite easy to turn it off....

During setup of your new Copilot+ PC, and for each new user, you're informed about Recall and given the option to manage your Recall and snapshots preferences. If selected, Recall settings will open where you can stop saving snapshots, add filters, or further customize your experience before continuing to use Windows 11. If you continue with the default selections, saving snapshots will be turned on.

Le Gasp!
You mean it can be turned off?

Amazing that all the youtubers going on about this don't mention that little detail.

My opinion is that I'm trying to figure out what this has to do with the Steam platform.

Otherwise. Don't care. Windows is as Windows does.

Recall needs specific hardware requirements to operate, including a Copilot+ PC with a 40 TOPs NPU, a Snapdragon X chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.

Microsoft confirms Windows 11 Recall AI hardware requirements

I doubt most people will meet the system requirements for Recall. It requires a specific chip for AI use.

YouTubers get views from being dramatic.

Yup. What the OP left out ( i am SURE by accident) is that this new feature will only be available on VERY specific new chipsets that less then 0.5% of Windows 11 users have at the moment.
It will NOT be available on the normal Windows 11 PC branch and x386 CPU like Intel or AMD Ryzen.

So this is a big fat storm in a waterglass.

Wow, I am definitely not giving my operating system 40 Half-Life 2's worth of space to pointlessly spy on me.

u dont really believe that just because u tick off a box that its not 'on' right?
Dont be naieve:)

Something that requires specialized hardware and a quarter of a terabyte of space that runs completely locally isn't going to be able to "secretly" stay on in the background when you turn it off. You'd notice your computer's fan constantly sounding like a jet engine.

Windows 11 has been a flop, and copilot will flop too…
