I appreciate the content there, but the second sentence refutes exactly what you're saying.

That data may be in snapshots that are stored on your device

Cast or put doubt on Microsoft security, or their privacy practices. That would be a great conversation starter as a post. But without evidence of wrongdoing the post here is a non story.

An example that would be notable is: "Packet sniffing reveals that Recall is sending image hashes to remote servers". That would be a big story that could then appeal to the title of this post. But the Ars article, and even that screen shot you posted is nothing like that.

There's a reason reputable news sites don't report on things that don't happen. Its because that's not news. So back to the reference to the title of this post: "to steal your corporate secrets" is just blatantly false!

Ars Technica reports Microsoft will add AI to Windows, to steal your corporate secrets

Look, I think it's a dumb feature and a dumb direction for Microsoft to head so deep into (AI and the whole Copilot branding). But that title is a downright lie and not supported by the article at all.

The article refutes your title in the 5th and 6th paragraph. Did you link to a reddit post rather than the article to make your title more clickbait? Come on, that doesn't foster actual discussion. You can do better than that.

I was curious, in case anybody else doesn't know who Dirk Hohndel is:

  • Currently works as Head of the Open Source Program Office at Verizon
  • Formerly VMware’s Chief Open Source Officer
  • Formerly spent almost 15 years as Intel’s Chief Linux and Open Source Technologist
  • Formerly Chief Technology Officer of SuSE and Unix Architect of Deutsche Bank
  • Developer and contributor in Linux and open source since the early 1990s. He was one of the early Linux kernel developers and has contributed to several dozen open source projects over the years.
