00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.960
how would you feel about a PC that can remember everything you do and I'm not

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:11.160
just talking about browser history or old messages I mean a PC that keeps an

00:00:09.639 --> 00:00:15.160
eye on everything displayed on your screen every app you have open how long

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:19.680
you spent looking at a picture all of your credit card transactions everything

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:25.240
Microsoft is hoping this will make you feel empowered and not spied upon once

00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:30.480
the newest Windows 11 update called 24 H2 drops with the feature we just talked

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.000
about dubbed recall the idea is relatively simple Windows 11 will take

00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:38.760
snapshots of your screen every few seconds and save them to dis using AI

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:43.039
these snapshots will become easily searchable using natural language so if

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.079
you need to ask it a question like show me every message where I discussed

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:50.600
Canadian maple syrup Futures recall can locate those for you even if you

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:54.039
completely forgot when the messages were sent or even what program you were using

00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:58.559
happens to me all the time it's pretty easy to see how this would be extremely

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:03.320
useful for quickly finding an important piece of information but it's also

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:09.320
obvious that Windows has to collect lots of information for the feature to work

00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.280
properly recall uses a minimum of 25 GB

00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:17.759
of space if you have a rather small 256 gigs SSD and the default amount that's

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:21.479
allocated increases with larger dis sizes and of course Microsoft is aware

00:01:20.119 --> 00:01:26.159
that this sounds like a privacy nightmare according to them all of the

00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:31.640
data used by recall never leaves your device and is processed by the neural

00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:35.600
Processing Unit or NP u in your PC so the data doesn't need to be sent to the

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:40.040
cloud of course this still reinforces the importance of making sure your

00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:44.439
machine is secure as recall won't do things like hide account numbers or

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:49.000
passwords Microsoft says that recall data is going to be secured the same way

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.600
as other data on your PC but seeing as you're probably not used to thinking of

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:57.399
any random ephemeral thing that just happens to be on your screens becoming

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:01.039
part of a semi-permanent record we're interested to see if Microsoft will beef

00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:05.920
up security around recall as time goes on in the meantime it is possible to

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:10.840
exclude certain programs and web browsers from recall if you'd like thank

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:15.120
goodness for that but here's the thing there's a very good chance you won't be

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:19.200
able to even get recall on your home PC anyway we'll tell you why right after we

blaze.com tequ recall is intended to be a feature

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:05.760
on PCS that Microsoft is labeling with

00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.720
co-pilot plus branding not to be confused with just co-pilot the Windows

00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:17.040
AI assistant that has already been out for a while co-pilot plus PCS must have

00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:20.120
16 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of storage

00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:22.040
but also importantly have to have an npu

00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:27.360
rated for at least 40 trillion operations per second right now there

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:32.760
aren't any current consumer grade x86 CPUs out there that include an npu this

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:37.200
powerful by comparison current Intel and AMD products are capable of less than

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:41.239
half of the number of operations this means the first product certified for

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:46.799
co-pilot plus will instead be laptops that contain Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite

00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:50.680
and X+ chips which are arm-based and will serve as something of a competitor

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:54.799
to the M series chips found in Apple devices although there has already been

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.239
one tinkerer who has gotten at recall working on Lower spec systems that don't

00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:03.200
have an npu most folks will either need to buy one of these new laptops which

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:09.400
will be out later this month or wait until late 2024 when the 24 H2 update

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:14.640
drops for x86 PCS and when we're expecting to see CPUs from Intel and AMD

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:17.919
that feature compatible npus are you looking forward to having a search

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:21.840
feature this powerful or does it seem too creepy for you to be interested let
