Yesterday, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella sat down with the media to introduce a new feature called Recall, as part of their Copilot+ PCs. It takes screenshots of what you’re doing on constantly, by design:

The idea is it allows you to rewind back in time at the click of a button to see what you were doing at, say, 11pm two months ago. It also classifies almost everything you’re doing, seeing and typing. This is instantly searchable.

Microsoft’s store page for the PCs points out “It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers [..]”
