Don't forget that while they managed the PR better, apple "Intelligence" also has access to damn near everything on your devices.

So is there a way for businesses to disable this garbage feature through managed device settings or something? I’m guessing corporate legal departments aren’t going to be too thrilled with this feature.
There's a CSP for disabling it on windows enterprise devices at least. Not sure if there's a way for pro and home machines.

Ugh, I didnt think about that😬
Me neither! Microsoft needs to be taken to court over this because it is a serious breach of privacy to not only record the users but even random bystanders as well. Now I am convinced this is just a backdoor for the government hiding in plain sight. Fuck them.
Oh this 100% is the government backdoor that they've been begging for. "If you can innovate your way into it, you can innovate a way out of it."
That was in regards to Apple phones belonging to Boston bombers being encrypted and locked.
It's no surprise that behind closed doors, the government asked these companies to create backdoors for them to spy on people.
You can't, at that point you assume your correspondent is compromised. It's not just recall but also malware and credential stealers. Doesn't matter if recall is taking screenshots, if the messaging client itself is pwned via malware then they have full access to as much history as is available.
To my knowledge, there isn’t. But you can ask the person to turn off recall. I’m going to be running 11 in a VM myself so /me shrugs
The code for Recall is in the code for File Manger. Recall cannot be turned off if you want Windows to load and function.
Is this not accurate (anymore)? https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/how-to-disable-windows-recall#section-how-to-uninstall-windows-recall
