This Hacker Tool Extracts All the Data Collected by Windows’ New Recall AI (www.wired.com)

When Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the new Windows AI tool that can answer questions about your web browsing and laptop use, he said one of the “magical” things about it was that the data doesn’t leave your laptop; the Windows Recall system takes screenshots of your activity every five seconds and saves them on the...

M500,

I wouldn’t really call it a hacker tool any more than you would call a hammer a thieves tool.

It just accesses the data that stored in an unencrypted format on the computers hard drive.

If someone had remote access to your computer they could use this, but I imagine they could also use the official tool too.

Since the data is stored in an unencrypted fashion, a hacker who had remote access would be better served running some script that will just transfer all this data to their offsite server and could be accomplished pretty easily.

I guess what I want to really say is that calling it a “hacker tool” is misleading.

M500,

Linus tech tips did a video about this where he had his team use other tools. Essentially he was like, it would end up costing him more or the same as it would take his team longer to do the same stuff and relearn.

It might have been a shortsighted video, but you can look it up if you want to.

M500,

So they will stop background checks for jobs?

M500,

What do you mean? That they are based off Ubuntu?

Using Lemmy make me hate Windows (or any proprietary softwares) and finally make me fully switched to Linux

Just like migrating from Reddit to Lemmy it’s the same as migrating from Windows to Linux, there’s shortcomings and learning curve and the more I use Lemmy the more I hate about Windows, because unlike reddit Lemmy is open source and open source softwares communities is more popular than proprietary communities and people...

M500,

Yeah! Good on you. All these big tech companies are getting worse and worse.

At the risk of starting a fight in the comments, what distro did you choose?

M500,

Yeah, that is either going to get me to Linux or at least Mac depending on one of my work apps.

(I can’t use alternatives or wine to run it.)

Fallout Series (Why don’t I like it?)

I think my first Bethesda game was Skyrim and I love Skyrim. I’ve played through Skyrim when it first came out I played through it again in the DLC came out. I played through it again on the switch I have since played through it again on PC. I love Skyrim. I played it so many times and I know it’s a meme to keep re-releasing...

M500,

That’s actually a great point and maybe that’s exactly what it is.

I carry 4 guns but only because they use different kinds of ammo. I don’t even think about the kind of gun.

But Skyrim is exciting because each time I play, I do a different build. Stealth, vampire, melee, etc…

M500,

That’s a good point, I think the dreary landscape is really boring and is not a ln environment if want to immerse myself in.

Fallout 76 has nice forests, but that game has its own problems.

M500,

I got pretty addicted to fallout 2 for about a week or 2. That was genuinely a really good game.

I was surprised that you could sleep with someone to get an advantage 😂

M500,

I hardly know/care about the fallout lore. I guess it’s just not a series for me.

I wonder how much more I’d like it if the mechanics where the same but had a different setting/story.

M500,

Yeah? Skyrim has a really interesting landscape. Fallout is mostly empty land, a small hut/gas station or random buildings in the city.

Around level 40 I’m either 1 shotting people or it’s a bullet sponge. And I basically take everything.

Its difficulty curve is kinda weird. It starts pretty hard then takes a quick turn to a walk in the park.

M500,

So dead at launch?

M500,

I guess people just wanna be mad with him I mean what I think what they want is that they would find that the company was actually at fault and they actually did something wrong and then I guess someone gets fired. I think it’s what they wanted to hear, but honestly, this is the best outcome . 

M500,

If you had Beyonce money, you wouldn’t even have a phone. You would have a team of people who deal with phones for you.

New “Recall” feature in Windows 11 is a privacy nightmare (www.theverge.com)

The new “Recall” feature really does look good on paper, but the taking in mind that it catalogues almost everything you do on your computer, it could turn out to be a privacy nightmare. “logging things you do in apps, tracking communications in live meetings, remembering all websites you’ve visited for research, and...

M500,

Well if they stick to their promise of keeping it in device, encrypted, and only accessible to the user then it might be OK for HIPPA.

But it’s still ripe to get hacked and will probably eventually be accessible to Microsoft or is accessible by then but they just say they won’t.

M500,

I’m at the point where I don’t care about graphics all that much. Just as long as it doesn’t look like a muddy mess.

If it will not run decently on a steam deck, then I’m skipping it.

M500,

I got into it because I was using my switch a lot. I realized that I was not having at times so I could be with my wife watching TV or something. Now I can just game in the steam deck.

M500,

Maybe once you retire and get your pension you stop voting.

M500,

💎🙌

M500,

Yeah, it’s nice that such a big cultural shift happened around this.

M500,

Any point in Minecraft instead of minetest with a mod?

M500,

What actually happened. The article just says he died.

M500,

I mean what events led up to this? The article doesn’t say. Like, was he just speeding or was he shooting at police?
