4 months, everyone in the OneNote subreddit was bragging about how Loop was going to add automation to OneNote. It really looks as if all it does is things that OneNote already does by itself, but in a way that forces users to make use of their OneDrive. It's the same kind of crap that Microsoft fold in OneNote when OneDrive first came out. And, everyone complained enough that Microsoft went back to allowing the free version to access notebooks stored on the desktop. My guess is that they will eventually do the same thing with this loops thing. You will be able to put a Loop component into a page in a notebook that is stored locally. The component will need to be stored on OneDrive, but it can be displayed in, updated in, and synchronized with the component that is cached locally.

11:30 If you don't trust microsoft ... then the logical recourse is to not run windows, and while you'r at it, don't use microsoft 365 either. Exactly, I avoid microsoft as much as possible. But my children are not able to do this because their school demands it. And I imagine a lot of people need to use it at the workplace.

Hi there. I have a question on the Region and time zone settings. I changed this to my current time zone and checked the box, "always show time slots in business time zone" We do business nationally, so should I leave off that checked item? I would love for the user to view times available in there time zone wherever they are booking.

Great demo. I remember seeing a demo of syntex at a Microsoft workshop 5 years ago. But it has never found it's way to any orgnizations i've worken with. I hope to see it finding more attention, because this is really cool

What a wank I think you just demonstrated that Syntax is a completely useless product for a non enterprise business Why would you bother with such outdated stuff SharePoint et al has always been useless and MS is trying to now make it relevant My take is that you need to reimagine document storage and retrieval - surely with AI we can have a blob of documents and you should be able to pose a question at the blob and get the best response - isn’t that the basic promise of MS copilot?

you omit valuable details of how to retrieve the value of the lookup field :(

I did find this VERY interesting as I am "currently" a unemployed IT professional, working mainly "help desk" that last 12 years, and I have accepted employment as work "outside" of IT. I think having a good "overall" knowledge of different areas of IT is great to know. I am currently studying for COMPTIA Sec+/CySA+, (only because I have vouchers), but I have a recently passed CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ and interested in "Cloud", but looking at Desktop Admin, to get employment in the IT area, as I am Windows 7 Desktop Admin Certified. But must get current, so these fundamental Certs would work great..

This sounds insane. Your going to give microsoft absolute access to your entire life?

LOL

Microsoft gets a Z double minus 😂

It appears that you are not familiar with Apple's development tools. You continuously pushed the idea that you have to use all of Apple's apps in order for Apple Intelligence to know what you are doing. Let me re-introduce you to Spotlight. As an iPhone user yourself, I know that you are familiar with it. But you seem to be so steeped in Microsoft's philosophies that you assumed Apple must do the same. Apple developer's all have the ability to send their data to the Spotlight search engine, if they choose to. That means that any third party app can add to Apple's AI personal context. Add to that Apple's App Intents and developers can give Apple's Siri as much or as little control to manipulate and use their applications capabilities as they choose. Contrast that with Microsoft Copilot where they do seem to be keeping most if not all AI possibilities with their own 365 apps. As to security, I agree with you to trust, but verify Apple's claims. So far, they have not betrayed that. Google's search engine deal has never to a secret to my knowledge. I agree that it is odd that a supposedly privacy first company has a widely known privacy violator as their default search engine. But that is a topic for another day. At least you can pick any other search provider you choose. In fact, with AI I expect that Apple will finally have to unveil its long rumored in-house internet search engine-both for privacy and for additional data for its own AI efforts.

Excellent video, shame you haven't explored this further. Understandable why, but I feel more people are looking for the solution as this is a useful option.

Does Document within SharePoint include web pages site pages and not just documents within document libraries?

I don't want that garbage on my pc.

Recall data is not encrypted on device, it's simply a SQLite database

Please don't add background music, it is just an irritating distraction.

bro what you have defined for the ruleId, driveId, siteOrigin, itemId and region in loop connector in cloud flow. can you help in figure that out?

It's a problem for a simple reason that you have to ask yourself, "How well do you trust Microsoft or any other company to not push the boundaries of what they're able to get away with." For one, Microsoft doesn't have the best track record as is, knowing this, the biggest problem is having to take their word for things, they say "This data will be stored locally on your computer and not be sent to the cloud," I can tell you right now, I don't believe that for a second, a tool like this is obviously meant to be invasive, cause most of the pros are so minimal, but the down-sides are just off the charts and this entire feature is literally just spyware that is just being disguised with the whole AI craze nonsense and there is no way something like this is just going to be stored locally at all or if it is, it won't be that way for long. Add to the fact that this is already half-baked with their lack of content moderation where all your credentials and everything are going to be on display, I even watched a video where this is also going to include stuff that's on your browsers (including edge, even though they mentioned that browser was going to be exempt from the recall feature, which was clearly a lie it seems), he put in some credentials of his own (of course fake to try it out) went to recall and all the information was right there for everyone to see, oh but guess what? I also heard that if the recall feature has anything related to the company themselves, any other company, or some special interest groups, that information will be disregarded immediately and maybe to some extent could be censored somehow, so "If" this is going to be the case, then that really shows you that even Microsoft knows that this is a really invasive feature so much so that they have to exclude themselves from it so there is no sort of liabilities on their end, but oh! The customers get to deal with this "great feature" and we're just exposed to the wild, fascinating. With the whole hacker thing as well, sure you could definitely argue that they do have other ways of obtaining your information that doesn't have to go through recall, but the problem here is that, now they just have a 1000x easier way to get CRAZY amounts of information about you all at once, and it's all packaged nice and neatly where they can just search through whatever they want, how is this "not" a problem? And this is even worse if the person has gotten remote access so they can just grab what they need and split and you're done for. Also, let's keep in mind that the government and others will likely have a field day with this feature now and considering how bad censorship is these days, now anytime you type anything on your browser you have to be super wary of, made a joke that might be seen as offensive and recall captured it? Could get you in trouble, are you a journalist and there are going to be people out there that want to take you down? Recall captures it. Are you an anonymous figure online that makes KZfaq content like for example "Vtubers" where this is their strongest asset, well now recall can have all that information right there for everyone to see, and again they "say it's going to be stored locally' but we all know its not or at least for long, and if some kind of data-leak happens when it does get stored on their servers well, your fucked and they won't have any liability over it either. Then, let's add on top of all of this where, this feature is going to be turned on "automatically" by default, so a person that doesn't even know about this feature could have all of their information just shown to the world without them even knowing, certainly isn't creepy at all, and then to make matters worse after every update, they turn this back on, so if you happen to forget to turn it off after each update and you just go about your regular day searching through stuff then you're kinda done for, and sure you can "delete" these snapshots, but it does it literally every 3 seconds (someone said 5 once, but I'm pretty sure it's 3) so it's kinda useless. And sure you can toggle this feature off going to settings>privacy and security>recall and snapshots, but how long is that going to last? And how do we know that even when you toggle this off, it's not still working in the background? This is one of Microsoft's biggest feature yet, do you really believe them to let you just be able to turn it off that easy? No way. This entire "feature" is just a surveillance camera for your computer to monitor your habits online 24/7, and while it's true that this won't be rolling out for every system out there, cause of the requirements are going to be quite extensive to run this and there is a certain processor you have to have being something called the "SnapDragon" so most windows 11 PC's won't have to worry about this "for now", (although they do already have it where you can download some feature or whatever where it allows you to run recall with minimal specs requirements and seeing as they've already done this, you know they have this planned to be rolled out at some point for EVERY windows 11 PC and future PC's down the line). Seriously though, the fact that these guys haven't gotten some kind of class-action lawsuit at this point is kind of baffling to me.

copilot pro gives you ADS even AFTER you PAY for premium?!?!?!? NO ONE SHOULD EVER PAY FOR THAT SHIT

I really think that recall is cool. I would love an AI to do that personally. But not Microsoft AI that's built into my operating system. Plus Microsoft has proven they will 100% force this to turn on in the future with updates. If I used an AI like this, I would want it open source because I'd not touch any closed source AI that was so invasive without honestly being able to see the code. This is such a massive security and privacy issue. I was already really struggling to move to Windows 11 for multiple reasons. It was a hard pill for me to swallow, but when they announced recall, I bit the bullet and moved to Linux. I've used Linux for years, but always for server work. But as of a few days ago, I'm official on Linux! And holy cow Linux for desktop use has come so far since last I checked in! Games work pretty decent too! I'm setting up a Windows VM with Glass Panel for games that need Windows, but other than Adobe products and games, Linux is honestly superior in every way from what I can tell. Like legit everything else. And the gaming aspect has come a long way. I honestly wonder if in the next 5 years, Linux will have little to no issues with games. But I'm honestly kind of shocked Microsoft thought this was a good idea. Even if they back peddled from here, this is a Unity situation but worse. I am a Csharp developer. I am a Csharp die hard fan boy. But, after Unity pulled the stunt they did, I would be weary ever touching Unity with a 10 foot pole. Still solid arguments for it, but you now know the evil and desires of Unity and the direction they wish to go. What Microsoft is doing is 10X worse than that. This is such a horrible invasion of privacy and security. And they seem to have zero desire to back peddle. But even if they were like, "Woops, are bad, we pulled this from the shelf". Is anyone going to trust they won't slip this back into a future patch? Because if you think they won't. You're high lol. This spooked me off Windows completely. Damn do I miss the days of Windows XP. Windows 7 was also solid in my eyes. Windows 10 was a worse version of Windows 7 imo with a constantly crashing file system, but it was fine enough I guess. Though to Windows 10's credit, it did do a vastly superior driver support job. But near the end of Windows XP. But for many many moons Microsoft has been spyware and placing backdoors in their OS. But you could fight it, plus it wasn't always the biggest of deals the way they were doing it. But now, this is just next level. This is sooooo scary.

LOL

As an IT admin, I stay up to date with what Microsoft is pushing, that doesn’t mean I like it. Just started dual booting in Nobaru. This IS a security/privacy issue. Anyone who has local access to your machine can access this data. What about a library who doesn’t know how to properly deploy a system with group policy? The grandmas and grandpas who fall for scams where a scammer remotes into their system? Absolute insanity. Sure you can say the same thing about a password manager, but it’s not a screenshot of what you’re doing every day, every 3 seconds. This has personally put me off of windows in a massive way, and I believe many, many power users feel the same way.

The only vaguely awkward thing for me about Recall is that if your PC gets a virus / hacked... Or the governments gets its hands on your PC... They're potentially going to be able to get a lot more information. The core concern behind privacy has always been that you don't want your data in the hands of people who are actively likely to harm you... Corporations have little incentive to harm you - too much trouble for their profitability if they end up harming a user. Anyway, this is ultimately part of the question of how Personal AI agents should work... I'd personally consider your own agents as a part of your digital identity and deserving of legal protections against unwanted search and seizure, etc. And access to such systems should ideally be more strongly locked down, so that even if your PC is compromised, that too much isn't leaked outside... Which shouldn't be that hard to do. Although it does mean that Copilot should automatically not remember certain kinds of information. It might also be worth it to completely separate business context work from personal context... Like, you might only use Recall while your laptop is in business mode (depending on your preferences)

Wrong solution to impose on people however well intentioned it is. Should have been an option.

This is such a terrible take, I really expected better from you. Journalists are pointing out real practical concerns that have nothing to do with the integrity of the operating system, and everything to do with the operating environment that computers currently work in. They are not always locked. Passwords are not always secret. They're not always using individual user accounts. Not all developers have all their API keys hidden all the time. If you're not thinking about the practical implications of such a large change in the security model of an existing product ecosystem, and instead only pointing out the technical aspects, then what even is the point of an agency? You might as well just redirect to Microsoft's marketing. Seriously, I would reconsider this perspective, look at it from a real-world, human situation, and perhaps consider taking this video down. It's not all journalists and all industry that are stupid, it is in fact Microsoft that have done something so obviously bone-headedly inhuman here, that the technical aspects are not the point.

It's bullshit i don't trust Microsoft.

"This data will never touch the cloud... for now" 🤣

I absolutely agree with you, Fundamentals exams offer diversification of your technology knowledge and shows your interest in learning for growth to prospective employers if your have litrle or no IT experience, however those with some experience in IT, it's probably best skip Fundamentals exams and go straight to Associate and Expert level certs

0:12 yeah Unix lalready fixed that over 30 years ago, every heard of the commands: grep, find, locate, recoll, history,etc.. Heck if those at microsoft are so computer illiterate at least they could learn to press ctrl-H to search their browser history. And what about Rover the dog in windows XP from over 20 years ago!! Rover found any and all files by name, content, date of of last modification, etc.etc.. so you can't remember what document you were using yesterday? pop up Rover on windows XP and bam! you have it instantly and with less than 1GB of RAM. Remember only one word inside the document but don't remember the name of the document, Bam! Rover found it instantly! Why did microsoft screw up their search and just about everything on windows since windows XP?

I think most of a fear mongering has been over the top. Recall at best is taking Random screenshots so most data will be missing, password fields on web sites don’t display passwords so they can’t be captured. If a hacker/malware has so much access to your pc to view the Recall data, then they will also have full access to all your files, web browser history and passwords etc. I would be much more worried about the full access at that stage. Most of the online fear I have seen has been based on things that haven’t happened yet e.g. MS sharing your data, but that’s a different conversation if that ever happens. For everyone using facebook and google/ chrome, you have no privacy, all your data has been sold. Recall in its current form can’t share anything about you unlike other popular services. If you are worried your parents/wife are going to view what porns site you have visited, don’t turn on Recall and clear your browser history :)

Scam. They change the A.I. info. Seen it myself. Asked a question one day and asked the same question the next. It was changed in favor of the mega companies.

Thanks for solving the problem of what do I do with my last vestiges of digital privacy :/

The thing is, as me many people work on offices, and in my case, I have a particular workload where when its need I do my part of the work and some other time I watch video on KZfaq or read things, and other things not related of my workload, but its because I don't have demand, I bet in the feature this Recall will be available for admins to check their employes and this sure will be a nightmare, I am not doing anything wrong, but if an admin check my Recall and see I am watching videos about games, how I should explain this?

If I hadn't switched from Windows to Mac since 2004 and owned one of those new Windows AI PCs, the first and only thing Microsoft's "Recall" feature would record on my PC would be installing Linux and saying goodbye to Windows.

Nothing is totally secured... so it is a privacy and security nightmare even if it is also an inovation. But for me, like the browser, it should be an application, not a part of the operating system. An operating system should be only a software layer allowing an application to run on a computer: a file system, a memory manager, a network manager, a GUI but nothing the user directly interact with. Of course you can have default application but I think that it should be explain during the installation and you should be given the choice to install them or not. And for the "Innovation" part: if we cannot remember anything without AI assitant, if we cannot make any innovation without AI assistant we're gonna end in idiocracy... limited to the innovation the IA was trained on... If you want your brain to work you have to make it work, not rely on AI assistant.

This is the reason why everyone is moving to Linux. Linux golden age is coming.

my issue is that people keep booking then rescheduling minutes before the interview is supposed to start. How can I make it so they need to connect with me to be able to reschedule? Any help is appreciated!

Hm, neat explanation. the official trailer doesn't explain anything about what the "+PC" means and many other videos on this are mainly about complaints and concerns of the recall feature.

I’m very excited about recall and copilot in general. Actually ordered a copilot+ laptop as a long time Mac user.

Except it doesn’t work - embedding fails every time. MS support still hasn’t resolved the issue in three weeks. 💩 show.

This product would not need to exist if Microsoft did not break windows search from win7

I have an Family 365 subscription as well as one for copilot pro. Unfortunately, this chat window in onedrive is not available for me. Does someone know why?

remember Cortana? you know what i see when i think about all this - a giant straw coming down from the sky sucking up all ideas and then monetising them to sell back to you for $50 a month. And then, when you pull back 'The Wizard of Oz' curtain its none other than Bill Gates - the withered ol p-file on the other end of the straw - laughing

Great presentation Nick. Given that you are normally very conservative / cautious about Microsoft announcements this demonstrates what an important step this is.

It was a slick presentation but as you noted the reality may never get there. MVP Andy Malone said pre build day that he has noted 117 copilot derivative projects and I guess another 15 were announced in the presentation But realistically it will take ages before we will be able to have a copilot studio environment that delivers the vision Meanwhile its vapourware 😩

Great video and I agree 100%! Which I wonder how it would intergrate with the romured AI focused Nivida 5090 GPUs? Also they can always expand the offering in the future Like Samsung did with their AI phone featuresnow coming to my S22 ultra.
