Microsoft has announced a new AI-powered feature for Windows 11 called 'Recall,' which records everything you do on your PC and lets you search through your historical activities.
Wild they're announcing a recall already. I mean I didn't like windows 11 but it seemed more or less functional, even though the ads really pissed me off.
There's a certain logic to this. The more useful a personal AI is, the more it knows about your activities, so as to master helping you do them better. I'm not saying I like this new Microsoft feature, but the underlying logic is not exclusive to them - it will be everywhere else in the world too eventually as AI grows.
Seems that way. Windows 10 support stops October 2025. You have until then to switch, but I suggest getting familiar with a Linux distro now if you can.
I know Linux is big on lemmy and I adore Linux, I use it on my home server and laptop. But the way of the world is ai. For 30 years I have been imagining having a computer that will be able to predict what I want and we are well on our way to that exact place.
It's prudent to mind potential security weaknesses, but dismissing it so quickly as some people do is just as dumb as it gets.
