- vwampage 2y agoPrivacy first! ...encryption coming in a later update
- eterps 2y agoRegardless whether you'd want to use something like this, in which cases could it be useful?
- nutrie 2y agoExactly. It’s difficult enough to cope with the future, let alone the past :)
- junaru 2y agoBack in the day we called it spyware but now its a 'productivity tool'. It's horrifying how this became the norm.
- Alifatisk 2y agoThe "recall" feature is not something new, rewind.ai has been offering this for years.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoThe difference is who controls it. I've run a tool on my machine that recorded every key press because I was researching how to optimize keyboard layouts. If someone else did that, it would be a keylogger and it would be very much not okay. But since I did it intentionally, it was a useful tool - though, granted, short lived because it made me nervous having that data around even in encrypted form. There's something there about tradeoffs and informed consent.
- drpossum 2y agoI have seen this hyped several times over the last week with little traction and engagement.
- mtndew4brkfst 2y agoI've seen the author on just about every possible comment thread about Recall saying to check it out, incessantly and shamelessly. Good way to sour some people (like me) sight-unseen. I know HN is more tolerant of self promo than many platforms but I find it exceptionally off putting in this example.
- nicce 2y agoIn reality, only way to protect your privacy in this case, is to not to collect that data at all. Otherwise, you cannot use it like you want to. Anyone who hacks you computer, is able to access the same data as the end-user. > Privacy-focused: Your data is stored locally on your device, and you have the option (soon to be implemented) to encrypt it with a password for added security And password does not matter, since remote attacker can log your keyboard inputs.
- blitzar 2y ago> you have the option (soon to be implemented) to encrypt it If this is not in the first pass when implementing the idea then its a big no for me. Security should have been part of the original design, not shoehorned in after the event.
- nicce 2y agoHonestly, some sort of 2FA backed short-session private cloud would be better. But there is still small risk that attacker can access it for short time.

- eterps 2y agoI can imagine a lot of developers are living mostly in the terminal and browser. Wouldn't it be much more efficient to integrate on that level instead of taking screenshots?

- Refusing23 2y agoi tried this but it wouldnt run... so.. that was disappointing
- vikramkr 2y agoCalling this privacy focused and then shipping a version that doesn't even encrypt the data saying it's coming soon has to be one of the wildest possible ways to launch this lol. Microsoft set the bar low with how they addressed privacy concerns with their version of recall but apparently it was just the start of a limbo contest
