"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.
Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.
I find it equally fascinating that in order to get anywhere near an integrated computing experience in 2024 we apparently need constant recording and transformer models.
No structured file systems, no permission models, no shared stores, no capabilities - just firehose the display output and hope for the best.
@sarahjamielewis We could certainly get a simpler & more capable solution to the problem Recall addresses with modern Computer Science by essentially reimplementing the entire OS to use CRDTs, but who's got the time for that?
The next best thing would be filesystems with efficient backups... Like BTRFS!
@sarahjamielewis it's infuriating to me that every operating system is full of APIs for rendering text to the screen, only for us to take pictures of that text and scrape it back out with OCR.
@tedmielczarek@sarahjamielewis definitely, definitely not trying to defend Microsoft at all here but it does seem the only rational response to a world which birthed Electron apps. if only they used their near monopoly power to actually innovate actually futuristic operating systems and not this mundane dystopia bullshit. shame
