Sure, but at that point you'll have access to the person's email, messaging accounts, likely work material, personal files and everything else the owner himself had access to. Not much to defend a computer without a password like that with physical access.

Malignant access to all of those is likely much more damaging than continuous screenshots.

Does anyone know why sunshine streams always the wrong monitors?

antheas•6/1/24, 12:47 PM

Recall is not released yet we do not know if it will be enabled by default

antheas•6/1/24, 12:47 PM

Most likely not since it will consume battery etc

antheas•6/1/24, 12:48 PM

We don't know specifics yet but imo the problem is that it might record stuff that it shouldn't

no worries, next step is MS insists on always on camera for facial recognition, 'for your safety'

there is also the posibility of remotely tapping into recall without the user knowing it, but it will need to be released first to even be attempted

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:04 PM

The issue might be quite a bit bigger. Some programs (er ex. banking sites) have their local executables encrypted but Recall effectively circumvents it. Even more, it gives context to actions, and even access to otherwise encrypted files by effectively OCRing what's on screen. From the initial reports I don't have much confidence they'll do it right off the bat and we may see big consequences because of that

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:06 PM

Don't forget this will also have access to information that might otherwise not be saved locally, as an example private cloud documents, chats or even RDP/SSH sessions

CronoOP•6/1/24, 1:08 PM

From where I stand, it doesn't seem to provide an attack surface that's much bigger than something like ShadowPlay.

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:09 PM

We'll see how it plays out when it's out, for me it's a bit too big pill to swallow

I really dont get how MS gets away with this stuff when companies can be so secretive. I work in pharma and we had to come up with a code system to refer to our clients cause some of them didnt like that we had their names on binders and a competitor might see that during an audit. But we'll keep using windows even if its phoning home information and might be recording your whole desktop somewhere

59smoke•6/1/24, 1:15 PM

You may not be able to

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:23 PM

I can confirm it's actually a thing, had to make an investigation for a ticket. Combed through EXIF for documents and web apps (including teams) strips some data out when saving documents which are normally present when editing them in the desktop versions of the apps (namely comments and such collaboration features). When externals edited documents in web apps (because the E1 license doesn't provide them with a desktop version of the app) and sent them beack there were differences in the document and truthfully there's nothing you can do apart fom agreeing on using one version and sticking to it if you want consistency

I think it's very likely recall won't blindly record the screen but work per windoe

Hunanbean•6/1/24, 1:25 PM

basically, it will be how it always is. Pro version users can use GPEDIT to control it. Home version users will not be able to disable it. remember, with windows, You/Your Information are the payment.

I used to work for astrazenica. Their computer systems ran like dogshit cause all of their severs were located at their head quarters in Liverpool. They didnt want it to run off the azur cloud or something which would have worked better for people in other countries cause then all their proprietary data would be on MS servers

Its the hypocrisy of it

Most of the health providers host in Azure or Oracle, some on AWS and it's always jank. This will raise some big flags for them as it's out of their control and some data will leak this way inevitably, it's the reason why they pushed for cloud workspace in the first place and this negates it completely.

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

If you actually cared about your data you probably wouldn't be using windows

antheas•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

It has to do with where the servers are located
