    Yeah it won’t be in regular PCs anytime soon, since this feature apparently requires

    1. 256 GB of SSD
    2. 16 GB of RAM
    3. An “NPU” which AFAIK most computers don’t have
    4. Windows 11

    But the point is that they market Recall as this great new premium feature when it’s actually very dystopic. Even if you trust Microsoft that it’s gonna be entirely local (which I don’t), there are lots of other things that could go wrong. Like Recall having your passwords/private conversations/stuff under NDAs in it’s database, bugs that could potentially leak the data, malware whose purpose is to exploit it to get access to everything you do on your computer, or a government forcing Microsoft to add a backdoor edit: damn I’ve read this like 10 times before replying and just realized that you did say that the Recall feature sucks






  • If god exists then he is a disappointment to me. Bro “loves us” and all of that, but he won’t do anything when

    • people are dying in wars
    • companies are exploiting people for profit, especially in developing countries
    • north korea exists
    • his “followers” are spreading hate against [insert minority here] in his name
    • etc., you get the point







  • For the most part probably not, but Microsoft cares a lot about backwards compatibility so I imagine some of this code still lives on in Windows

    Though you should take this with a grain of salt, since I’m saying this as someone who 1. never looked at Wine source code 2. used the Windows API only once, for a very small program 3. is still learning programming, so I wouldn’t call myself a coder (yet) either
