Microsoft Windows is a virus with documentation... But he talks about new version of Windows but talks about hardware - Surface is NOT Windows - it RUNS Windows. They may have put hardware into it to allow for new features in Windows to run efficiently.
everythign you do at work is already under purview of your employer - and they might even have tracking stuff installed already, or a screen watcher. Its a work computer, you dont have privacy on it and you never did.
Nothing is stopped companies from doing this today (and they absolutely log everything you do). What's new here is that AI makes that information easily searchable.
Guess we'll see how good that encryption works over time. My biggest concerns are how long until Microsoft changes something and goes "now you'll also get the benefit of the cloud" and then millions of peoples stuff was auto opted in after an update. I don't trust it. Not to mention your request already are going to the cloud. So they can't see your screenshots but the can see what you're trying to do with them. Its a no from me through and through. The processors are cool though.
@@nasabiraphillbert8220 I read that it doesn't hide sensitive information such as financial information or passwords. Even if it is encrypted, it's still a very possible method of attack for hackers. Imagine if someone managed to break the encryption of a high ranking executive's laptop. They would get access to so much information about the person and company.
@@MadafakinRio I still don't want it, it's not useful to me and wastes resources I rather spend on other things. Plus it's not like it's guaranteed to be unhackable, so yeah, it's absolutely warranted to be concerned (though maybe not to declare that the sky is falling). Time will tell I guess.
@@Whocaresssssssss yes, but you can still limit the risks and what they can access by not recording everything. It's about mitigating risks. It's the same reason sandboxing is used and we are told not to put passwords in text documents. Recall imho doesn't really fo something anyone needs, but it's a massive security risk, so in my assessment it's not something I would want. Either way, if you think it's worthwhile that's fair enough. But that doesn't mean there is no reason for concern, there absolutely is.
You can turn off Recall today... I give them a year before they make it mandatory after how much data they farm from it. Sure the images remain local, but doesnt mean what is detected on them isn't sent over.
AI is literally Skynet’s Trojan Horse. Remember “Genesis” in the more recent Terminator movie reboot? Genesis was launched and marketed EXACTLY like this. To the point that it’s ominous.
So if a device with the recall feature gets stolen and is accessed, the thieves now have access to almost everything you've done on that device which can include sensitive data and personal information, who at microsoft thought this was a good idea?
yes, the recall feature is definitely one to turn off as soon as you get the device, it will use resources and ssd space for something that would almost never be useful to me, besides all the privacy concerns
It is supposed to run on the NPU, so it won't disturb CPU performance... allegedly. However, the files Recall stores on you will affect your SSD over the long term.
I’m fine with Windows, I rarely experience problems at all, when “Copilot” comes, I just turn it off and that’s it, if not in the system, then through the code.
...I'm no data privacy expert, and I really don't care that much about it... But if Microsoft doesn't get sued for Recall, then I'm just completely gonna lose hope about privacy in general.
Features sound great, but until those features are 100% able to run on system not connected to the Internet, forget it. Not that I am planning on doing anything "nafarious" but I don't want some nanny state AI telling me what is and what is not a problem.
Recall is a privacy nightmare. I'm going to post this on social media that has every bit of my life on it. Using my phone that tracks my location down to the block. I want my privacy!!! Siri, Alexa, you hear that.
You lost me at "Windows will still cut down performance when on battery". That's a big, underrated advantage the Mac has had for years now. Aside from that, and aside from the fact that Windows/Qualcomm are 4 years late (compared to Apple), the new laptop looks awesome at $999.
Really the blame should be with Intel and AMD. After 4 years since the release of the M1 neither company have even tried to emulate Apple silicons performance efficiency. At least Qualcomme are making a genuine effort but it will take a year or two for them to emulated what Apple achieved.
My take is that this feature was specifically created for companies who hired people for Remote work, so they can basically access that data via management apps…
You are right. I was offered a remote job the other day. They were going to give me a corporate computer and I found out they were going to us AI to video me all day. I told them no way and I would rather be unemployed.
I love the idea of everything being processed on device, but after the whole Eufy camera debacle, we can't really trust that companies are actually keeping up their end of the bargain.
How well encrypted, and how secured is the decryption mechanism for recall? If its all on device, what's stopping malicious actor to pretend to open it as a user to then have it decrypted and a bunch of data stolen?
Whats stopping a malicious actor from stealing your data now, without recall? It's not like you always log off every website, encrypt your local data with third party encryption software etc. do you? What i'm saying is, if someone got access t your machine and login information, it's game over anyways lol.
Ok recall, while a bit “creepy” would actually be a game changer for me. I’m super disorganized, and think “oh I’ll remember the name of that website or video when I am ready to buy/do it in a week” and totally forget it, then to avoid that I will make tons of bookmarks or shortcuts or notes etc that get lost and make no sense. I really like the idea personally.
Just would like to add: Prism is not an “emulator” for x86 to ARM, but a translation layer that allows for apps to still run natively on that processor while converting x86 instruction calls to their ARM equivalents. This is a lot more efficient than an emulator would be, but it would still be optimal to have a native ARM app as compared to using a translation layer.
If microsoft doesn't allow high end gpus to be in place of an npu, people are gonna be mad. Nvidia and amd have spent the last few gens adding AI cores and systems to their hardware. To not be able to use that and to require a dedicated npu within the cpu will be a huge waste
@@Chemzborgor their for anything that wants to use them. I've done plenty of LLM, image gen and other AI workloads with my gpu. Plus currently FSR doesn't use any form of AI, DLSS does
I am really enjoying the tech arms races that have been springing back to life. Screens are getting brighter and with better displays, chips are getting more performant but with greater efficiency, battery life is getting big leaps. Starting to feel like what I wanted out of the laptop space in like 2015-2019 is finally catching up.
I cannot think of anything I do on a PC that I want to have recall to work for. For work the only thing I would find useful is searching for some customer info. But I don't trust it with that information.
Spyware? Made by Microsoft, so you know it's buggy and insecure right off the bat? Shipped on every new PC? On by default? I love this for Microsoft, they're actively killing what used to be their cash cow.
Theres a secret 32gb & 64gb ram option direct from Microsoft that other dealers wont carry, the downside is that it comes in black only. Other thing to note is that some of these Snapdragon devices have the cringe feature known as "no headphone jack". The surface Pro is one of those the new yoga is going to be as well. Dell tried it and they flopped in sales for the XPS13 idk why companies continue to do this cringe trend.
Just because it is processing thing on device does not means it respect your privacy. It just means that the software does not sent your data to MS as you are using it. They can still get your sensitive data via periodic log files.
as someone who used to do IT, i saw this coming ten years ago. it was super clear after windows 8, that Microsoft was trying to make windows more 'simpler' in operation. heck windows server 2008 was basically easy mode compared to Linux.
That thing is scary. It looks like a laptop built for those companies (mainly CN ones, even abroad) that track everything people do with custom priority data access on smartphones and PC and the relevant proprietary apps. They track it all even outside of work as people are punished if they use another smartphone/laptop or fired. Everything is monitored and scanned to know who they talk to, what they're saying, when, where, how, how long they've been using the toilet, where they shop. It's had a bit of backlash a year or so ago when those companies have had issues with european workers not willing to work with CN standards of harsh repression and total surveillance (spoiler: they got fired). That's crazy that they push this as a game changing feature. For whom exactly is the question.
20:20 I agree with this even on an apple silicon computer running Windows Arm in a hypervisor. There's a snippiness to it that's a bit hard to describe.
LOVE how suddenly everyone is so worried about their privacy and they voice it through a social media owned by one of the biggest tech firms in the world who DEFINITELY values their privacy.
No wonder windows 11 is losing marketshare to windows 10. This whack ass os is getting more restrictive and bloated wiith each update. Id rather jump ship to linux than upgrade to 11
Austin, why would live captions and translations be difficult to do? 10 years ago, I could whip out my phone and have a conversation with someone have it translated
I don't think the majority want copilot or AI built inside windows. I want windows 11 to operate like windows 7, the Ai and copilot should be optional especially when they are always trying to force you to use an edge browser.
Makes me think i should finally just force myself to learn linux. I do not like windows 11. You add on this intrusive copilot snapshot feature. And the day they force me to update to 11 is the day i uninstall windows.
Nobody seems to acknowledge that this is still Windows for ARM. Like it still won't have the functionality of full x86 Windows but they're trying to make it so ambiguous so as to seem as though it's just the same Windows.
@@nickthaskater Mostly app support at the moment. Most windows-based software is programed to use x86, not ARM. This likely won't end up being an issue for large software companies, but smaller companies may struggle to update their software to work with ARM processors. Some of this will be handled by various different forms of emulation, but emulation is always going to be slower than software that can be run natively on ARM processors.
@@wairgald There is no lack of functionality here, nor is there any emulation... Prism is a translation layer much the same as Rosetta 2 on Apple. Sure bigger corporations wont have issues with this at all and will provide native arm support but if you're not a mega corp, i'm sure the translation layer will work absolutely fine for a smaller application in any case.
@@SintaxBSD Yeah I had seen someone mention that, might have even been you, but since I don't know a lot about it myself, I figured referring to it as emulation was at least close enough. Thank you for the info.
Why is that a feature we need? Looks more like something they'd do to train an AI. With OneDrive version history, autosave, history for most apps, we surely don't need an AI to watch our every step...
Why is everyone worried about this? We all know companies respect their employees' privacy and ability to independently get their work done without the need for additional surveillance through software. Right?
After so many years, and even the same amount of attempts I truly hope Microsoft and Qualcomm have figured it out. We deserve it, there is nothing worse than getting another "meh" experience. I am certain, security wise, this AI is a nightmare for certain companies in the infosec.
I mean... If this doesn't get you to switch to Linux Mint or some other Linux variant then to be honest you are basically giving Microsoft (and precedence to other companies) approval for 24-hour surveillance...😮

Great video! I especially like how you touched upon upgradability and repairability, which is something that other TH-camrs and publications did not cover and is important given how much these Surface devices cost.
The Recall feature will now reveal when you’re using your mouse wiggler. On a work system, this could be your ticket to exit the company involuntarily.
Oh look, another thing that Microsoft jumped into as an afterthought, spent way too much time and money on, and will ultimately drop support for because they didn't understand their customer base.

Wow, can't wait for the system requirements
What's the big deal with recall if it's all done on your npu? If it's not sending it to Microsoft the worst thing is wasting storage.
They are whiners. so? haha
No wonder windows 11 is losing marketshare to windows 10. This whack ass os is getting more restrictive and bloated wiith each update. Id rather jump ship to linux than upgrade to 11
lol windows normies getting upset in 2024. Thats a good laugh
As soon as my appplications stop supporting Windows 10, I'm gonna jump ship to Fedora (A Linux distro).
Recall feature should be default off and need to be enabled on every app manually. Default on is a huge security concern.
nope
Austin, why would live captions and translations be difficult to do?
10 years ago, I could whip out my phone and have a conversation with someone have it translated
I don't think the majority want copilot or AI built inside windows. I want windows 11 to operate like windows 7, the Ai and copilot should be optional especially when they are always trying to force you to use an edge browser.
another reason to use linux
Makes me think i should finally just force myself to learn linux. I do not like windows 11. You add on this intrusive copilot snapshot feature. And the day they force me to update to 11 is the day i uninstall windows.
Nerd glazes microsoft in 4k
In before they make recall a _mandatory_ option. 💀
Nobody seems to acknowledge that this is still Windows for ARM. Like it still won't have the functionality of full x86 Windows but they're trying to make it so ambiguous so as to seem as though it's just the same Windows.
What functionality does it lack compared to x86 Windows? It's the same thing.
@@nickthaskater Mostly app support at the moment. Most windows-based software is programed to use x86, not ARM. This likely won't end up being an issue for large software companies, but smaller companies may struggle to update their software to work with ARM processors. Some of this will be handled by various different forms of emulation, but emulation is always going to be slower than software that can be run natively on ARM processors.
@@wairgald There is no lack of functionality here, nor is there any emulation... Prism is a translation layer much the same as Rosetta 2 on Apple. Sure bigger corporations wont have issues with this at all and will provide native arm support but if you're not a mega corp, i'm sure the translation layer will work absolutely fine for a smaller application in any case.
@@SintaxBSD Yeah I had seen someone mention that, might have even been you, but since I don't know a lot about it myself, I figured referring to it as emulation was at least close enough. Thank you for the info.
Yeah hell no with the recall shit
Why is that a feature we need? Looks more like something they'd do to train an AI. With OneDrive version history, autosave, history for most apps, we surely don't need an AI to watch our every step...
Screw AI. I'm so sick of this crap.
Why is everyone worried about this? We all know companies respect their employees' privacy and ability to independently get their work done without the need for additional surveillance through software. Right?
I dont believe a single soul has seen the recall features and thought, "cool, this is definitely something I always wanted."
Windows 11 literally gets worse everytime i hear about it: needs a microsoft account, removing built in android emulation and now adding awful AI
the amazon store was handy but lacked apps, if playstore was on the android emulator it would be used alot more.
You could load any apk manually.
awful AI oke twitter user
After so many years, and even the same amount of attempts I truly hope Microsoft and Qualcomm have figured it out. We deserve it, there is nothing worse than getting another "meh" experience. I am certain, security wise, this AI is a nightmare for certain companies in the infosec.
copilot, first thing I try to uninstall
the difference between this and time machine is that time machine is on device and it saves your files using backups, not screenshots
I mean... If this doesn't get you to switch to Linux Mint or some other Linux variant then to be honest you are basically giving Microsoft (and precedence to other companies) approval for 24-hour surveillance...😮
You already did that when you chose to use google, gmail, chrome, and youtube.
more important than l those stupid a.i. features in copilot, is how to disable them completely from windows...
I don't have problems with aí, however with Microsoft....😅😅😅
@@FranciscoGomes11 skynet, hal, shodan... no a.i. will ever find any value in humans... and if there is something we're good at is creating new ways to kill each other... a.i. is most likely the next weapon of mass destruction.
Great video! I especially like how you touched upon upgradability and repairability, which is something that other TH-camrs and publications did not cover and is important given how much these Surface devices cost.
Recall? Nope. Going Linux and learning unix (I'm a newbie) if I have too. Ain't having a computer with that shit. Nope. Big fat NOPE.
but you still use gmail, google, chrome and youtube?
What experiences have you had with standby and wakeup? Is it as fast as the Mac because the operating system is available as soon as you open the lid?
The Recall feature will now reveal when you’re using your mouse wiggler. On a work system, this could be your ticket to exit the company involuntarily.
Can't wait to disable all of this! Won't be upgrading from windows 10 for a long long time.
...if you are still on windows 10 (for some weird reason) what is there to disable lol
@@SintaxBSD I'm saying once windows 10 gets too old and I'm forced to upgrade to 11
The only review so far that touches on the upgradability! Thank you!
Oh look, another thing that Microsoft jumped into as an afterthought, spent way too much time and money on, and will ultimately drop support for because they didn't understand their customer base.
Ai in my personal opinion is quite useless to gamers. We have no use for it to help us get better at games. Especially the hard core fps.
world does not revolve around you
Fsr, dlss, frame generation - no use really?
youre not going to be gaming on a surface anyway? So.... whats your point
Did I ask for y'all to talk down on my opinion? No! All I did was voice my opinion. So get the hell off my back about it.
@@SpookyDraygon1994 well its wrong.... and not relevant to a surface tablet or laptop. AI literally id what drives DLSS. its what RTX uses... but you know has no useless
I was thinking of going back to using windows but that recall “feature”. I can see that Microsoft hasn’t changed at all.
This video makes me want to stay away from ARM based PC's running Windows 100%, this video just makes Windows on ARM seem like the worst move Microsoft has ever made for Windows, the "Recall" feature is 100% a no no and feels like a big security risk.
It's gonna be useful for a non tech nerd.
AMD and Intel chips have NPUs, too. Any new system that's branded as a Copilot Plus device will have this by default.
