Am I the only one who honestly thinks Recall is totally useless? I feel like everyone is acting like it's useful and the only thing to debate over is whether it's "worth the security risk". But I feel like it's not even worth anything at all. Even if there was no risk and I was 100% in control I don't think I would ever use such a feature.
Wouldn't you waste just as much (if not more) time looking through old screenshots, than to just go look up a solution the old fashioned way? Whatever you were looking at is probably still in your browser history too.
I know the point is it has some AI crap with it, but that still requires you to remember enough information about what you're looking for to filter them. And if you know that much information I think you could probably just find whatever you were looking for again normally.
That's because you know how to find information in a computer quickly and precisely. Recalk is for clueless people. They can ask the computer in plain English.
Yeah but to what end? Is a clueless person going to find answers to something by looking back through their past clueless behavior? Or maybe it's just so they have a record of what they screwed up so they can fix it? In that case I think some sort of changelog to all system wide settings that the user modifies, with timestamps, would be infinitely more useful than Recall.
