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

    From The Verge’s obsequious article:

    Recall won’t work with every Windows 11 computer. You’ll have to buy one of several fresh new “Copilot Plus PCs” powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon X Elite chips, which have the neural processing unit (NPU) required for Recall to work.

      And from the article in the OP:

      I got ahold of the Copilot+ software and got it working on a system without an NPU about a week ago,

        They are using that to sell NPU bullshit to the stupid people crazy enough to be excited by it.

        Then down the road they’ll push it in an update for everyone, I wager.

          Most of the newer CPU’s have an NPU already, Microsoft just set a higher performance requirement for NPUs to be officially labeled an “AI PC” which they are pushing hard.
