Interesting thread on what #Recall does and sees on your computer. Simply frightening - why should anybody really want to use that?

Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners

Tesla (TSLA) has to replace the ‘self-driving’ computer inside about 4 million vehicles or likely compensate the owners of those vehicles.

The liability could be more significant than the largest automotive recall in terms of cost.

Interesting, self tripping women's boots. (apparently the top hook on the boot for the lace is too far to the side of the boot, and tends to catch the laces of the OTHER boot... thus leading to a self tripping hazard). Recalled.

I’m interested to see the creative ways this might be abused.

Tesla's self imposed problems get worse. Musk didn't invent the Tesla, he bought the company, and is running it worse than hes ruining twitter.

Fool.

"Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners"

Possibly the biggest, most expensive recall in history.

Tesla will probably just send checks, billions of dollars.

This is on top of ClusterTrucks being recalled for its steel skin falling off.

So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.

Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.

I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.

I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.

The problem with the WARNING is that because of PBMs these #counterfeit products get distributed by pharmacies.

I don’t remember if it’s retail pharmacies or facility pharmacies where this kept happening, but there was a PBS Frontline documentary about how PBMs cause counterfeit medication to appear in legitimate supply chains.

So how would any of us know??

This shithole country let people buy and feed their baby pets tainted products for almost two weeks. This is disgraceful.

“Due to a customer complaint of animal illness, samples of the products were collected on 3/20/25 by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. On 04/01/25, the firm was notified by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture that the products tested positive for Salmonella and Listeria.”

#microsoft # Linux #copilot #recall #independence moving away from Microsoft and Windows after a lifetime! Started out in win 3.11. Finally had enough after all this copilot crap!
Going to be looking for help from all you experienced Linux users out there! Please be patient?

So I see that Microsoft is again pushing Recall out into WIn 11.

And I can kinda sorta see the use case for having Recall, if I squint very hard indeed (except that there is no way it will ever be rolled out in the environment that could actually use it.)

The functionality that Recall would create and provide has a use case in the Microsoft using environment that is The Workplace.

I work in an office with the usual Microsoft products - Office, Teams and Sharepoint.

And the software stack is a nightmare for collaborative working, just completely corrosive and with high friction everywhere.

Example. If I ask someone for a piece of information, and they send me a file, great!

But a week later, where is it?

Because it could be in my email. I might have saved it to my local drive, or to the Sharepoint hosted version instead. Or the groups Sharepoint.It could be in Teams, in Teams chat, or the Teams groupchat. Or maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing, because it wasn't the file it was a link to the file and that is a whole new search issue. Again, the link could be anywhere in the above, and point to anywhere in the above.

This total user experience mess (and mess is far too kind a word) makes day to day search and recovery of information (Microsoft is incompetent at basic search, we all know this, just look at the Search bar, and Bing) an issue. And from that perspective Recall provides a solution to that issue. If you can't do search (and Microsoft cannot) then brute force it and take a screenshot of the desktop every 3 seconds. And hope for the best. (Which will be interesting to see how it goes in practice, because again, Microsoft is an interstate multilane in clown car gridlock when it comes to search).

It's like saving a game by building a log of every user action up to that point, and then replaying their game for them very very very fast when they open the save file.

So the high friction high frustration productivity destroying work environment that is the Microsoft software ecosystem means that you can kinda sorta see a use case there, provided you can ignore all the trust and access issues the actual Recall functionality creates. Mmmm. Good luck with that.

If you are an office worker of any kind please understand Copilot Recall for what it is: Microsoft wants a training dataset of _what your job looks like_ in order to _replace you_. The nepo baby your oligarch puts in charge will happily pay half your salary to Microsoft to get even most of your job done without you.

Wealth wants access to skill without giving the skilled access to wealth.

I think #Microsoft have given themselves enough rope with #Recall. For Reasons, running anything like it would be flat out, no discussion, illegal in my org. As #CISO I’m sensitive to such things… :)

Sure we run a MSFT shop, and sure they theoretically have access to all that data anyhow - can’t [viably yet] process ciphertext, they see all the cleartext at some point.

The rope part is that argument. If MSFT argues that they see all data *anyway* so why not Recall, they burst our collective hallucination that various #GDPR agreements are actually worth a damn [Narrator: They’re not].

And then, my #infosec friends, I get to eject Microsoft - and coincidentally all other #US #cloud services as well as collateral damage - and finally build a full scale Linux/FOSS environment.

It’ll be more fun than I can #recall!
