@Kyonko802 i get that microsoft starting to delve further into telemetry and shit is bad, but this is still misleading.
1. it is only available for new copilot+ laptops
2. it is all local (requires 25gb min)
3. you can just turn it off (including specific websites, and it doesn't work during private browsing)
i'd think of it less like telemetry and more like more granular restore points that an AI can delve through to provide reminders and such.
even if there wasn't an option to turn it off built in, you can rest assured there would be some way to do it with registry edits or what have you. windows 10 and 11 already have telemetry as-is that *isn't* local, and you can turn that off very easily with a powershell script.
@Kyonko802 @beardalaxy On the other hand is microshaft, so the implementation is turbo shit.
@EdBoatConnoisseur @Kyonko802 they did this exact same thing without AI on windows 10 (timeline). they ended up discontinuing it, probably because they saw the opportunity to use AI for it instead. i don't know anybody that actually used it.
my assumption is that it'll be another one of those toggles during initial setup if your computer supports it. if people want their pc to track everything they do then they'll leave it on... i'm assuming it'll be most useful for people just doing schoolwork or business. which is the vast majority of people using laptops in the first place and probably why MS targeted it there. any self respecting gamer wouldn't be using a snapdragon laptop.
