how will capturing screenshots prevent other software from capturing screenshots?

And we all know countermeasures don’t exist. They can be used to train the ais out of their own existence.

Depends. Can anyone with the know-how create a custom way of taking a screenshot/capture independent of all others or do all methods have to use an immutable function as the base?

If the former, i agree with you. If the latter, you’re kinda wrong to believe so.

Let’s take a step back. If we allow Microsoft Recall to take snapshots of everything, now there are two places to protect your information, and one has historical information.

Why would you want that? Even if we somehow prevent malicious software from taking screenshots, we now have to worry about malicious software breaking Recall or any servers that have Recall info. That’s a much bigger attack surface, especially if there’s a server involved.

This is just a terrible idea all around.

Terrible or not, it exists and should be handled. Of those able to move away from Microsoft, good for them. Everyone else still needs the help.

Could they be helped? Technically maybe. Will they be helped? Probably not.
