if anything this is a very promising benchmark for the new tech,. we're getting close. so what this means if NPUs are anywhere close to CPUs in the benchmarks is that NPUs are going to blow past CPUs very soon, because CPUs dont have

You dont seriously think MSFT expects this shit to benefit consumers do you? Their datacenters are overheating and the billing meter is still ticking while they burn, they need to figure out how to get consumers to start paying for this sh

what are all these folks hoping to accomplish? By crying and starting shit about windows recall, all you did was signal to their shareholders and the financial analysts that windows recall actually substance and not just a marketing facade

I promise you there are better ways to manipulate people in this situation. Like a keylogger. That way, your hypothetical LGBTQ child can't evade your monitoring by using an incogneto tab or simply pausing recall when they login. ste

would you enable it when interviewing candidates for your team. so when you go to complete your assessment you can go back to something they said or some code they wrote?

current laptop here is late 2023 mb pro with m3 max, and some things i really like about it, but i miss the x64 arc. 2 days ago I needed to run a kali linux vm and i plugged in an external ssd where i keep a bunch of my VMs. Theyre useles

i think you are wrong. they are trying to convince the average consumer that they need this new laptop with special hardware because they have exclusive magical features (read: OCR) like windows recall. theyre making it intentionally excl

fine, but that then requires a google chrome sandbox escape or visiting an attacker controlled page, my point was just that the initial claim was rather oversimplified.

i mean... no one is going to convince you of anything if youre speaking of some hypothetical future possibility. But at least acknowledge theyve improved on security. Defender is included with windows, theyve been steady shipping significa

i get the impression you aren't much aware of the existing ways employers monitor activity of their workforce at scale for both windows and mac users without needing to browse through GBs of screenshots on a regular basis.

i really don't see this being used in the enterprise environment. first off, employees without a need for an NPU probably wont be given one. its like who right now is giving out hardware to employees with sick graphics cards? i don&#

thanks for the links. as far as i can telll 38193 is just a priv esc so they need code execution locally first. but the two exploits you linked could possibly be chained together and that would be a pretty sophisticated attack, especially

> To help maintain your privacy, Recall processes your content locally on the Copilot+ PC and securely stores it on your device. its an attempt by microsoft to flex about their new "AI PC" which just means it comes with this np

it really isnt as bad as people on twitter say it is. msft is easy to throw shade at, and a lot of bandwagoning. trust me, im an expert.

linux has had some pretty bad bugs as well. "North Korea" (not sure why you threw that in? are they exploiting this specific vuln ITW?) can only drop this if they can send you packets which they'd need to be on your network

Would you rather your it department have a root cert trust authority installed in your trust chain or recall running? The levels are already astronomical if wanted.

Following this logic you really shouldn’t use Microsoft products. Or Apple. Or google. Or Mozilla. Either way, you are better off with a bug in this dumb as hell feature than you are with a bug in your web browser. Yet here we are, spurg

The nsa doesn’t need recall to gather signals. They can gather higher fidelity data directly as text, network traffic. If the historical data is what concerns you, that assumes the nsa wants to sneak in and then sneak out, but they will jus
