I hope enough companies realize the inherent danger to their IP this feature brings. Or that the government realizes the inherent danger to CUI data and forces there to be an admin level lock of the feature so normal users can't just turn it on.
I and many others can't just switch to Linux because we are required to use company laptops/desktops that are admin locked.
If the US government bitching was enough to get the flight simulator easter egg removed from Excel (allegedly), I can't imagine a similar stern glare from the Pentagon would not cause Recall to magically turn out to be uninstallable after all. At least from any US government owned computers originally so equipped.
Anyway, isn't this only going to roll out on "Copilot" compatible PC's with the requisite AI acceleration chips in them? I would be furthermore immensely surprised if it could not be locked out in Group Policy for corporate customers.
I can't wait until the first breach caused by Recall hits the FCC. It's definitely gonna happen.
Somewhere, some patent lawyers are going to make millions debating about whether or not this constitutes "public disclosure".
Specially since there's no Microsoft app that has ever securely functioned past a few days. This thing is gonna be hacked as soon as it comes out an we won't know until until there's an investigation into the accidental death of thirty innocent people as passengers in some vehicle somewhere controlled by windows 11 or something... Boeing re-entry vehicle maybe? Nah! You guys are good! Just jump in and come back home already!
shouldn't be doing personal stuff on work computer. let the company deal with recall if they don't want their shit leaked.
They didn't mention personal stuff
then he/she can let the organization decide about recall, it's not up to him at this point unless he's the owner. maybe the organization wants recall to further spy on employees and that's a different reason to not work for them at that point.
That... that's what they were saying, no? Companies should worry about their shit.
