    Holy shit, what a comment!

    This is about the Smart App Control

    It’s not, it’s about Recall.

    that takes screenshots periodically to check for “malicious activity”

    It doesn’t. Smar App Control does code validation and reputation check. Recall makes screenshots, OCR’s them and keeps them in an encrypted vault for the user to interact with.

    built into the OS

    It’s not, you can turn both off at any time.

    its basically a glorified keylogger

    It’s not, it fundamentally is NOT, because it doesn’t log any keystrokes. SAC isn’t even in the picture here, while Recall literally only makes screenshots, runs OCR and encrypts that.

    Fuck me, where do you people get this bullshit from? It used to be “oh no, Microsoft will be making screenshots of your activity and sending them to their servers” not so long ago which, while still bullshit, was at least in the same ballpark as what Recall does.

    Now you’re throwing SAC into the mix somehow?
