Time to file a patent to mine Recall on corporate fleets to help companies monitor employee efficiency. And then sue anyone that tries to do this.

The new Recall features is a good reason to remind everyone to not do personal shit on your work computer. Please.

Microsoft Recall in Windows 11: in what way can this be POSSIBLY compliant with the requirements of GDPR?

(Same goes for Office365 requiring autosave to stash files in OneDrive, and Outlook slurping all your emails into Microsoft's cloud and using them for AI training.)

@cstross

speaking as a compliance professional,

it sure the fuck cannot. It constitutes data gathering outside of the stated purpose of the system and is prima-facie noncompliant with GDPR and -multiple- other compliance regimes.

tho my personal problem with it stems from its inherent abusive characteristics - https://infosec.exchange/@munin/112480357946214139

Hey so,

This windows recall thing?

Enables domestic abuse.

Like, flat-out.

This 'feature' means that someone in an abusive relationship now has a canonized part of the OS monitoring their activities that can be then invoked and studied by the abuser.

Why is everyone talking about bears lately?

@jerry they're an NP-hard problem - you can't tell ahead of time whether or not something's going to halt, or whether it bears repeating

Well, I've had a completely ridiculous number of people DMing me on LinkedIn... Since I just announced that I am leaving, are they wishing me well? no

Are they offering me jobs? no
Are they making funny llama jokes? well, some of them
Are they mostly trying to meet with me so they can sell stuff to my (soon to be) former employer? absolutely

I guess it's too hard to program their DM spam bots to see if the person they are spamming just announced they are getting the boot.

@jerry ......why bother tho? spambots are munitions to be expended, not something valuable to be maintained.

@jerry I mean.......they're not -people- to be -avoided-; they're -accounts- that exist to spam and the expectation by the operator is that the account will be shut down quickly.
