- Comment on Microsoft just delayed Recall again 1 month ago:
It sounds like the “AI” is used to index a bunch of screenshots so you can ask it what you were doing this morning/yesterday or something? Potential major privacy issue aside, it’s another instance of the AI solution providing a really marginal benefit over what already existed. Windows 11 already had a list of every window/document you had open sorted by timestamps iirc. Which, also a potential privacy issue, but still more the point is this is a very marginal upgrade to what was already there. Although even on the privacy side, a memory of X document or folder being open at time Y is less of a potential breach than the contents of the document being visible and searchable.

Microsoft is once again delaying the roll out of its controversial Recall feature for Copilot Plus PCs. The software giant had planned to start testing Recall, which creates screenshots of mostly everything you see or do on a Copilot Plus PC, with Windows Insiders in October. Now, Microsoft says it needs more time to get the feature ready.
