The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and more,” according to the Verge.

    Uhhhh. Governments use w11. I’m betting they get this disabled or freak the fuck out. If the former it’ll mean it’s able to be turned off at least.

        Well if they stick to their promise of keeping it in device, encrypted, and only accessible to the user then it might be OK for HIPPA.

        But it’s still ripe to get hacked and will probably eventually be accessible to Microsoft or is accessible by then but they just say they won’t.

          True. I wonder if it would be viewed as making an unauthorized copy of protected data?

          If they do screw up or get greedy and upload protected data they could be in very hot water.
