I use gmail from time to time, and YouTube, but literally everything else I do on the computer won't be visible there.
What would be cool would be to ask "What documents about ICs did I have open last night around 23:00?" and have it give me a list of local paths that I looked at, and it's all outside of browsers/Google. And of course, have it all be local.
- h2zizzle 1y agoGoogle's Activity History has gotten less and less useful ifself. The searh function basically doesn't work anymore, particularly past a few years ago. They probably keep the data to use themselves, but good luck accessing it without doing a Takeout request.
- crtasm 1y agoWindows already tracks file usage (e.g. recent files), maybe that could be set to keep more history.
- diggan 1y agoI'm not sure if both you and previous parent don't know, but the main useful thing with Recall is understanding whatever is on the screen, not just file accesses, or URLs visited but basically anything. So while Google's activity might see some parts, recent files sees another and so on, deriving that from screenshots captures everything you'd see on the screen.
- crtasm 1y agoI'm aware. You suggested querying local file access history based on their contents, that could be achieved without taking screenshots and OCRing them.
