   Is it just me, or has Microsoft gone completely crazy? They are implementing spyware that takes screenshots every second and forcing AI integration. Why would anyone willingly purchase this? Anyone with experience in computer or information security knows that it is a bad idea, even if it is locally done. Just don't do it. Yet, here we are, and they are doubling down on this idea. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/microsofts-new-recall-feature-will-record-everything-you-do-on-your-pc/ #privacy #security

     I tell you, those who abuse their spouse or kids are absolutely going to love this feature, apart from bad actors. 99.9% of people don't even know this is turned on by default, and everything they do is captured and viewed by bad actors or abusers. Microsoft is not just a monopoly, but they don't like family values or privacy or safety. They are going to put innocent people's lives in danger. ABUSE is written all over this crap.

     @nixCraft they should be giving up on the idea of charging for the OS if they want to do this.

     At this point, Apple should simply skip deep AI integration in iOS and macOS. Focus on third-party apps for LLM. Capture more market share while Microsoft is busy pushing spyware. Tim Cook, this WILL BE YOUR legacy, not Vision Pro. This will be useful for those who need Adobe (i know another monster) or other apps for work stuff. Otherwise, Linux on desktop will cover your needs.
