Would anyone have problems with Recall if it worked exactly as it does now but was delivered turned off by default and displayed a clear warning about the risks involved if the user tried to turn it on?
I mean, there are probably valid use cases for it, if you know what you're doing. If I remember correctly, there is an OSINT tool that does something similar about your browser, so that you don't forget or misplace some piece of information you've stumbled upon while investigating a case.
@bontchev It seems like the main thing holding back Rewind on Mac was the price (20 USD/month), not that people weren't interested in this kind of functionality.
@bontchev Talking about my day job, it is a big no no. I work in clinical and industry labs. Clinical labs contain all patient information and results management. It's a strict no way Jose ordeal. Industrial accounts will also say no, as they will not allow any information to leak out.
@reaply That's understandable - but what if it is turned off by default? Are you worried about somebody turning it on maliciously?
Dunno if you know, but Windows already has a tool that logs everything you cut or copy. It doesn't even stay on your device - it is send to your Microsoft account on Microsoft's servers. It is turned off by default, though.
@bontchev It would certainly help in mitigating the impact on millions of unsuspecting customers, but it doesn't help Microsoft's Secure Future Initiative in which the feature opens a deluge of vulnerabilities and attack vectors on an individual. Simply put, MS needs to do better.
