Microsoft Screenshots EVERYTHING Using Copilot

Well this is scary.

[winjr]

This is a level of spyware beyond my wildest nightmares.

[annoorange]

Nobody's talking about the workplace.. there will be companies enforcing this, gathering that data and asking copilot to rank employees to determine whos fired. Mark my words

[TRULYMORTAL]

Ultimately, Microsoft was correct after all when they said before. "Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows." LOL

This thing is already breaking EU laws

Installing a keylogger in 2010. You're going to jail for it.
Installing a keylogger in 2024: It's the biggest feature we got this year in Windows 11.
What is wrong with society?

[jess_o]

Words cannot express how much I hate this

[kamoridesu]

it's gonna have to recall me burning Linux Mint onto a flash drive,
and it better remember that.

[Tonaszkraj]

They knew it would be a scandal if they hid it, so they made it a "feature", a very logical move.

[alec]

Wow, didn't expect Microsoft to make a Linux ad

“You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or Copilot has screen-shot can and will be used against you in a court of law.”

Imagine going to someone's PC with Recall and searching "financial documents", and having a bunch of important files and spreadsheets pop up like its some Hollywood hacker movie scene. 😅

Constant writes to an SSD will reduce its lifespan. Especially problematic if the SSD is soldered onto the motherboard and not replaceable.

[Zundfolge]

Setting aside the privacy and security implications (which are tremendous) this still seems to me like a ridiculous waste of system resources.

[acharris]

The FBI, CIA and NSA must be absolutely salivating over this.

[tomo]

The entire board of Microsoft should be arrested.

[mpxz]

Just wait until the Recall Cloud service is announced! Where it can offer to remember everything we do on ALL of our devices, to, ya know, be convenient! 😅
... I'd call that service "TOTAL RECALL".

I loved Microsoft’s assertion that “its OK because its all stored locally”. Windows being known for amazing local security of course. I give it 2 months at most before the first screenshot blackmail attacks start. Nightmare fuel.

Can’t understand how any big business in the world would not see this as a security nightmare. Even if it’s not here today, we all know it’s coming.

[teacfan]

My computer will never have 11 on it. I'll go straight from my debloated Windows 10 to Linux
