@nixCraft oh it can only be seen by that person’s account? Oh great. It’s not like every person I know uses 1 account shared with everyone.

Like my boss who has all employees use the same account he will be able to spy on everyone with.

@nixCraft I already don’t use MS products if at all possible (especially at home) and this would not make me switch back (although I have to admit that it might, sometimes, be useful).

Unfortunately, I’m not sure I’ll be able to avoid this on my work machine unless the IT team decides not to activate it.

@nixCraft

As if I needed another reason NOT to use Microsoft products.

Back in Office 97, I saw that Outlook had a journal feature that tracked everything you did in Office. I stopped using Outlook then and I stopped using Windows in 2008.

I'll only touch it if you pay me good money. And I wash my hands thoroughly after.

@nixCraft Recall sounds like a cool feature - if they really do process it all locally and if it's completely optional, but knowing Microsoft, they will sell your data off to advertisers and the NSA.

I'm sure this could easily be recreated on Linux, at the very least, and it would be helpful at times, it's just running some basic OCR and CV models, but they're both likely proprietary and trained on whatever they want (stolen content, images, text snippets).
