This will be preaching to the choir for some readers, as you didn't exactly need another reason not to use Windows right? Microsoft's new Recall AI will take screenshots of everything you do and that sounds truly terrible.

              Again, how does that violate GDPR?

              Are you saying every screenshot tool violates GDPR?

                One that Screenshots what you do without you knowing (wich will 100% happen as most people don’t read news about the shit Microsoft is doing) it would need to be opt in and very specifically tell you what it does.

                So it does by existing.

                  So let’s assume it isn’t opt-in (it probably is though) – you’ve still yet to explain how an application taking screenshots, even without your knowledge, violates GDPR.

                  You just keep saying that it does. Prove it.

      Local and optional. Most small and mid sized businesses won’t have concerns more than any locally cached session and Enterprise MS is well trusted with company data IMO. There will be plenty of on-premises folks who continue when this path but this isn’t as big as a concern as privacy folks are making it out to be. Copilot already has strong restrictions on what data is used for training for customers and what gets sent back to update Microsofts model (none of it).

      It’s a locally proccesed model that doesn’t contribute to MS’s learning in any way. One of the more responsible approaches IMO.

        Lmao idk where you work but i don’t think any company wants their confidential stuff to be on a Microsoft server and blow up network traffic.

        Also nobody in the world should accept that shit!

        Also Microsoft cannot legally have customers data within EU.

      TL;DR, Mikufan got big mad, called me a troll, and blocked me.
