"TotalRecall Reloaded" tool finds a side entrance to Windows 11’s Recall database (Arstechnica)
Summary: Two years ago, Microsoft launched its first wave of “Copilot+” Windows PCs with a handful of exclusive features that could take advantage of the neural processing unit (NPU) hardware being built into newer laptop processors. These NPUs could enable AI and machine learning features that could run locally rather than in someone’s cloud, theoretically enhancing security and privacy. One of the first Copilot+ features was Recall, a feature that promised to track all your PC usage via screenshot to help you remember your past activity.
Why it matters: This matters for Hacker Community because it gives a concrete current signal to track: Two years ago, Microsoft launched its first wave of “Copilot+” Windows PCs with a handful of exclusive features that could take advantage of the neural processing unit (NPU) hardware being built into newer laptop processors.

Summary: Your coffee maker may be less repairable than your phone, which is really saying something. In a new report, U.S. PIRG Education Fund looked at 58 blenders, coffeemakers, and vacuums, and nearly two-thirds earned an F for repair material availability.
