this rootless Python script rips Windows Recall's screenshots and SQLite database of OCRed text and allows you to search them.

How are they supposed to feed it into their LLMs later if it's encrypted??

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Decrypt it server side like all other encrypted data

If we believe it doesn’t leave the machine then the ai can have a decryption layer

That takes up precious cpu cycles

So does the rest of it

If only Microsoft required a second prossesor like some sort of module just for encrypting and decrypting things without using additional CPU cycles... What if we also stored the encryption keys on that module so we could trust that platform...

Honestly I'm pissed that even if I switch OS I'm probably going to be paying more for CPUs from now on to account for microsofts blatant abuse of a monopoly.

How old of a system are you running because TPM have been included on CPUs since at least 2009. Microsoft requiring something already built into modern CPU isn't the reason why CPUs cost more now.

First off. Windows 11 requires TPM2.0 introduced in 2014. Second, the first consumer cpu to include ftpm wasn't until 2015.

The version that windows requires does not matter as I was making the point that we've been dedicating silicon for TPM for a pretty long time now and that there's no corelation between Microsoft's requirements and the recent CPU cost increase.

TPM 1.2 was deployed on most x86-based client PCs from 2005 on, began to appear on servers around 2008, and eventually appeared on most servers.

-quite literally the book on Trusted Platform Module.

Doesn't change that cpus haven't come with ftpm packaged until tpm 2.0 which was barely a decade ago. If you wanted TPM before, you had to have a motherboard with a tpm header and purchase a proprietary tpm module, even then most were only for 1.2, so even then you cant make an older cpu compatability with win 11.
