A comic

Windows OS: “We have a brand new feature called Windows Recall that you might like!”

Guy: “Oh boy! What does it do?”

Windows: “It helps you find anything you’ve seen on your PC by using clues you give or by letting you scroll through your past activity!”

Guy: “Wow! How does this tech work?”

Windows: “Our Windows AI constantly takes pictures of your screen and saves all that data”

      If it is for just taking images of your screen a cron job or systemd timer can do the trick taking a screenshot twice an hour.

        I’m pretty sure the requirements are so high because (at least for now) the AI that will process the screenshots and search queries will run locally

          I just dont really see use for this, you could have a historic record of opened programs (filtering system programs) and for the work you are doing in them, the timed screenshot option.

          As with everything Microsoft, it’s just an exvuse to cram their New ProductTM
