Old Recall + New Recall = Total Recall 😉

Hot take: other people enabling recall and "leaking" your chats is essentially nothing since they can already do that by simply doing screenshots, it's not a new threat.

Hey linus I have been watching your videos since your garage days. So here's my story regarding windows ,When win 11 got released was happy to see the UI changed to look modern but usability wise some goto features/shortcuts are shit like – the right click menu, the battery, brightness one, the copying indicator on taskbar and many more.

Meanwhile SteamOS : Stonks !

Prioritising security doesn’t mean prioritising privacy

SteamOS please save us all

12:41 That's not a valid point to give them credit for, lol
They didn't do it for our privacy but to save their tarnishing reputation and for the AI PCs to actually sell. Also, even if encrypted, why is the OS letting those files stay viewable anyway? Didn't the same company introduce a quantum computing chip (or was it Google or both?) Pretty sure that such tech will be able to decrypt such files in a longer run.

The encryption doesn't add as much security as you would think. You can decrypt the data, so the decryption keys are stored locally in a way that your user profile can access them. Someone or a malicious process running in your user context will also then have access to those keys and can decrypt the data.
It does protect against cross profile access, and someone won't have access to it if they get access to the raw data or your hard drive. But a virus, someone physically accessing the computer logged in as you, or someone that can force you to log in, will state have access to everything.

I can't give MS credit for finally adding encryption which should've been done from Day 0 on the original. How does such a feature go from conceptualization to laying out its architecture to actual code being written without any thought given to using standard encryption? That signals a culture at MS that, despite its PR Talk, does not have security at its core. I can guarantee majority of this channel's viewers, if shown a preliminary block diagram of how Recall was supposed to work in 2024, would've asked "but where's the encryption?".

just switched to linux, thank you Microsoft.

Having screen shots saved from your computer will be the circumvent scam calls, blur is not destructive for data. Plenty of tools can unblur with great accuracy. All it will take is one piece of malware than was injected into a piece of software that is commonly downloaded, or through emails and the data will be endless. Call centers will dwindle as they move to data processing to either sell to companies for profit or steal user data. Where there is money to be made someone is there. It’s not a matter of who breaks it first, it’s a matter of how long before there is nothing Microsoft can do to stop the threat.

0:19 yeah the stazi would have loved this lol

Sorry LTT but what is the gotcha here?

You demonstrate that if someone has local admin and physical access to a computer, they can do damage? With that same set of circumstances they can install anything they want for long-term tracking, or disable the AV, or do whatever they want.

In the cybersecurity world, we do what we can to prevent people becoming local admin, but all your debunks are based on the assumption they have it.

As someone that use WIndows mainly for Gaming i really think Steam OS is the future for us Gamers

Here is the big thing that I don’t understand. Who uses “microsoft services” to the point where this would be a good product? Outlook , outlook calendar is basically the main thing everyone use is it not? Outlook that has a search function totally making this services void? Like if Meta did it , although i would never trust them with something like this I would kinda understand since they own Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook. 3 apps 90% of people use daily to communicate and make plans. So yeah there is a use case. With Microsoft is completely pointless. Its just a ploy to gather even more telemetry on its customer base. And there is already 20+ telemetry services settings hidden away. Come on Microsoft. Do better

The only fix to Recall is discontinuing Recall

Remember to use linux or windows 10 – pirate activation of ESD for 5 years extra updates is almost here

after sponser how to install windows , then you say ( i am not take microsoft safty )are you dump to think we are dump ?

The thing is, I just dont want this? Like it doesn't matter if its completely safe. I just don't want my OS to just record everything I'm doing. I'd rather would have Microsoft focus on fixing just Windows 11 really. All these AI apps just seem to be this super dodgy badly programmed crap just to get AI stuff in there as quickly as possible with no one really having any real need for it. Their copilot app constantly crashes and really is just a webbrowser shell and now this recall. Its all just sooo dumb.
