A new discovery that the AI-enabled feature's historical data can be accessed even by hackers without administrator privileges only contributes to the growing sense that the feature is a “dumpster fire.”
How were they supposed to test any of it, without releasing it to testers? Recall is an “Insider Preview” feature, it’s nowhere close to a final feature.
It doesn’t store screenshots, it stores text it gets via OCR from the screenshots in a SQLite database. Still one of the worst ideas these idiots ever had.
Insiders are not MS employees, though. That is also not the same as trained QA or security. You or I can join the insiders program. It is essentially public beta

From my understanding recall stored the screenshots it took unencrypted. Atleast encrypt the bloody data before releasing it to anyone outside of ms

“Insider Preview” features are proof of concept stuff, they can add encryption before the “Public Preview” version.
Doing some internal security testing for a start. QA should always have a couple passes too.
Precisely my point.
If people don’t want to be part of the internal testing, or part of the QA testing, then they shouldn’t be running “Insider” or “Preview” stuff.
