Microsoft's AI Secretly Copying All Your Private Messages

futurism.com

In December, an investigation by Tom's Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its "filter sensitive information" setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

- First they came for the ARM CPU users type mentality
  
  sigh* you're not wrong but the constant posts are annoying.
- It only works if you have an ARM CPU with an NPU.
  No, it works on x86-64 assuming the device has a sufficient NPU. Both AMD and Intel CPUs latest CPUs list the Recall preview as available now.
  
  And how many people have the latest CPU? Most Lemmy users don't even have an HDR monitor—tech that's been mainstream for over a decade at this point—let alone the latest and greatest processor.
  
  So it's just a matter of time then? When can we complain? A year from now? Two years? Do we have to wait for the next garbage thing Microsoft does? Hey, why don't you just tell us exactly when it's okay for us to complain? We bow to you oh great one. We live by your command.
  
  About time someone recognized my authority; thank you.
  Let's wait until the average user has an NPU before we start complaining again, okay? If that doesn't work for everyone, let's have a meeting in my palace tomorrow afternoon to decide on a date, and if I'm in a good mood, I'll allow it.
  
  Wait for them build it before you complain? Wild take.
  
  Don't argue with me or it's straight to the Gulag for you
- I get that it is annoying for you since you obviously don’t have a pc that will run it, yet.
  But a lot of problems in tech started because it was just there and didn’t do that much yet. Lots of governments are still catching up to the big tech to stop them from having too much power, because they slept on it.
  I dislike the recall stuff too, I don’t have a pc that will be able to run it and probably won’t have one for the coming 10 years, unless there is a huge leap in performance. But I do appreciate all the people here making their voices heard and actually bending MS their knee as well.
  So please filter it and get out of the way of the nice people, thank you
- Not to mention it’s optional, entirely on device, and secure.
  Let’s be honest, most of Lemmy users complaining about it are on Linux or a Chromebook anyway. They can’t use it even if they wanted to.
  
  Well, if they say it's secure, it must be secure!
  
  Chromebook? Lmao
  
  We run Linux on them because they're cheap and disposable.
  
  Disposable? Gross.
