Recall: Stealing everything you’ve ever typed or viewed on your own Windows PC is now possible.

Photographic memory comes to Windows, and is the biggest security setback in a decade.

Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

    Windows 11’s Recall feature is on by default on Copilot+ PCs

    Disabling the AI snapshotter requires a trip into Settings for ordinary users

    Over the weekend, The Verge’s Tom Warren posted (on twitter) screenshots showing Microsoft’s latest Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), in which the Recall feature can’t be turned off unless the user opens Settings after completing setup.

    Now, it’s possible things have changed in the last few days, but I wouldn’t really expect them to based on the last time I used windows. I also didn’t know this before I tried looking it up, so I’ll admit I’m a little biased against microsoft.

    But the real question is, what documentation are you looking at where you’re pulling all this information from? Can you provide a link?
