Microsoft business model is selling many features for a relative low price that is why they have software suites- no point solutions.. organisations get those MS features pushed to their systems - like it or not- in all the sys updates… so their whole business idea is “ a solution in search of a problem”

What's making me crazy about all this is that this further normalizes and enables mass, automated surveillance. Am I the only one? Does anyone at Microsoft or Qualcomm care about this?

The military industrial complex already implemented all its surveillance tools in everyone’s homes and businesses. Now what is left is so obtrusive the frogs in the pot are starting to notice. This feature is not for the user, it’s for so done trying to find out what the user was up to. Be that your boss or an investigator .

Microsoft is just spamming openai based copilot functionality across its product lines and ecosystem without any clear sense of value to any segment of the user base. The main distinction here between the copilot functionality already found in other microsoft products and this copilot+ pc is that supposedly the pc version does not require you to pay to access functionality from openai on the cloud. In theory at least, because much of the demo appears to be no different from what google displayed with project gemini which likely is mostly fake. And given that microsoft now forces people to use a microsoft email account when installing windows, how is your microsoft identity and office 365 functionality and other standard copilot features (cloud based) going to be separated from this local copilot functionality? This is why the idea of taking screen shots is more of a gimmick than anything useful making this just another example of microsoft bloatware that provides no real value for average users while continuing to consume more and more resources on your pc, which I am sure is to promote hardware upgrades.

It's encrypted and entirely stored on the local device. So HIPAA really doesn't become a factor because only the person who created the data (presumably the clinician) has access to any of it.

I don't think this will make it to Windows proper for a while yet. I think what we have here is another breed of computer and yet another version of Windows for ARM mark II. People still need fast Intel chips (these new chips don't match Intel's best) and Nvidia graphics and so I imagine we will have two concurrent Windows running for the next few years at least. It's only going to be a matter of time though until some civil servant leaves their computer on the train or some foreign power manages to hack in to the server that in a few years we'll find out has been having everyone's data uploaded to it all along.

Having worked in tech for "a while", I strongly suspect that there were developers and testers who said, "This is bad, it's a privacy nightmare, we shouldn't launch this" only to be told by executives that Recall needs to launch by such-and-such date.

The whole video looks like a creation of AI!

As long as I can use it or learn how to use it..I am good)). Other than to think it is the same thing when we went from Windows 7 to 10 (we hate change so don't change anything). Also as a hot take, companies are currently throwing things against the wall and trying to see what sticks. Priority seems less about innovation and more about monetizing (Very bad thing)

And every aspect is controllable; if you don't want shots taken of your banking website, or personal activities, you can limit or block these sites. It's just edited to include bad reference to another bad reference. If you prefer Apple, use a fruit device where their biggest upgrade is color. Big Thumbs Down.
