Noppeee. Very happy I switched to Linux. Despite how annoying all the hounding about it was, it’s galaxies better than the shitshow Windows 11 is becoming.
The malicious thing about recall is, it doesn’t matter how much you protect yourself, every one you interact with has to protect themselves too, or your private chats are gonna land there anyway
Ahh yes, I like to start my Saturday morning with a little horrors beyond human comprehension.
Ah, surprised I didn’t think of that. Fuckin hell. There’s no good way to have a private conversation these days.
Easiest way to brick e2e encryption
The nice thing IMO about Linux is that it’s “learn and forget”, you only need to learn things once (like sudo, apt-get or whete is the home dir and what is it), it won’t be randomly changed in an upcoming forced update.
And when shit is gonna change, you can downgrade to the older version, but even then, the changes always ends up being warned for a long ass time that “hey, X thing will change soon!”

During that time, you can easily install Ollama on an old computer.
With a client like Oatmeal, you can save your session/ reload/delete as you wish; so your model remembers what you want.
I am running llama3.1:8b, it’s good enough for the day-to-day operations.

My old computer is apparently “not good enough” for windows 11, but it’s surely good enough for my personal AI running on Linux though!
Interesting. A few questions, if I may.
Are you running ollama in the same system as the one consuming it ? If yes does it always run in background ? Does it impact performance of other applications when it runs in background?
No, Ollama is running on an old PC with a GeForce 1060 and 16gig of ram…
Yes, it’s a “webserver” running in the background exposing an API.
However, if I “top” my system, without chatting, it sits at 0% usage; it’s only when asking that the system peeks at around 55-70% CPU.
You have to understand there is 2 things here: the server and the model. The server is always running, but requires next to nothing in terms of resources.
The model is what computing your questions, this is the heavy part. It’s started on use, then after a delay, it’s closing.
TL;DR To answer your real question, you could use Ollama on the same system that you are using.
I tried llama3.1:8b and it’s absolutely horrible.
You can use larger “open” models through free or dirt-cheap APIs though.
TBH local LLMs are still kinda “meh” unless you have a high vram GPU. I agree that 8b is kinda underwhelming, but the step up to like Qwen 14B is enormous.
Everytime I hear the word Microsoft or windowsI only hear a toilet flushing. is it me?
No seriously, I’m really trying to find a legit scenario where such tool is actually needed and I honestly can’t think on any.
There are plenty of tools out there to help you track your work so no need for any of this bullshit.
legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed
The “legit” reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.
Regardless of the marketing spin they’re putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS’s LLM. They’ll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the “release of information” clause into their T&Cs.
Recall isn’t for users. It’s for Microsoft.
nope
