If someone hacks your system, it's much easier for them to find
sensitive financial info in your filesystem than to break Recall
encryption and scour your screenshots that might show it.

But MS, or at least their messaging, was clueless at first and didn't
seem to understand the visceral reaction people have to an app taking
and storing screenshots of everything they do.

But why TF did they even create such a controversial app in the first
place?

I don't get it. In my decades of using computers I never once thought
"It sure would be nice to have screenshots of everything I did the last
2 weeks." Finding things by reviewing screenshots seems much more
difficult than looking at a browser history or going to your filesystem
where you know the documents reside.

This one really seems to be a solution in search of a problem.

Most AI stuff seems to be a solution to no problems.

Some people want this bullshit. Others want out. Linux is the
answer. Sure, you could not opt in with this feature, but it's the
very idea that Win11 is promoting irrational AI features, just flush
it, cut your losses like I did last year.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

I think that CPU manufacturers have figured out that people think there
is no good reason to upgrade their computer anymore and that a machine
from even a decade ago will still do the job. As a result, they're
creating a new need like they always do to sell not only a CPU and a
GPU, but an APU as well. It's all about making you feel like the useful
thing in front of you is no longer good enough.

The Google AI responses are sometimes damn good. I know it's just
parsing your question and finding related stuff, but it's well-presented
and thorough, and much better than digging thru multiple links.
