records everything you’ve done
It records the past!? Holy shit! That’s amazing!
How is this not bigger news? How does it do it?
Recall won’t take snapshots of […] DRM-protected content.
At least the movie industry will survive this unscathed. Thanks Microsoft. 👍
If its processed locally and sent nowhere, why is this a concern? Unless otherwise.
Edit: I phrased it wrong. If MS claims its processed locally, and is like a second eye, why they would provide an exception to DRM contents. This could mean that some data might get sent to MS servers and transfer of DRM content is banned, this poses a legal risk. Who knows.
The non-fun answer is that they’re most likely just using the default screenshot mechanism, which already blocks that. Other programs like KeePassXC, which also hides itself from screenshots and recordings (unless allowed) will probably not be included either.
aside from privacy concern, who want this?
Employers would absolutely love to be able to ask their pet AI “hey tell me who to fire based on their computer usage”…
So Windows is trying to become Facebook?
Probably trying to cash in on some sweet intelligence agency and law enforcement funding for helping the government bypass the 4th Amendment by supplying the government with your data.
Okay this made me turn off copilot. Here is the registry stuff to disable it:
Step 1: Open Run and type regedit to enter Registry Editor.
Step 2: Please go to this path from the left panel.
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Step 3: Right-click on the Windows folder to choose New > Key and rename this new key to WindowsCopilot.
create a WindowsCopilot key
Step 4: Select this WindowsCopilot key and right-click on the space from the right panel to choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Step 5: Then rename this newly-added value to TurnOffWindowsCopilot and double-click on it to change its Value data to 1.Then you can click OK to save it, close the window, and reboot your PC to check if you have uninstalled Copilot from Windows 11.
Until the next thing comes along in a week. Windows doesn’t respect user freedom, because it is not the user’s OS; it is Microsoft’s OS.
If it’s not FOSS, you are the product.
With anti-libre software, we are not the user, we are the used.
stuff to disable it
False. Anti-libre software, Windows, bans us from proving its claims.
only works on purpose built “Copilot” devices and looks to be disabled by default
definitely funky but not as bad as other AI moves that users didn’t get to chose whether it showed up
Ministry of truth is officially scared about what you know because you have seen it so it maps everything you ever saw and puts it in context to forge a formidable cherrypicked narrative. Leave windows. Go foss.
