Something I didn’t think about until I saw someone making a post about it on Mastodon is that you may not have to worry about just YOUR PC, but what happens when you are on a zoom call or using another screen sharing app and THEIR PC is taking screen shots?
Now you just can’t worry about your own machine, but every machine out there that might interact with you in that type of way could be capturing data. And if you accidentally have your email up or maybe a password manager, could their PC just be gobbling that up without you knowing?
There was a funny joke from the early 90’s, that went “When you connect your computer to another computer, you are connecting to every computer that computer ever connected with.” That was such a funny joke. Funny…

Not to mention if you forget to wear pants and stand up during a meeting. Nobody wants this.
“forget”
Hasn’t this always been a possibility? People could always record their screen or take screenshots during meetings or whatever
Sure but not built in where you can then do an OS search like “find me text from the call I was just on where it showed their password for a moment.”
Since the invention of traffic lights people could just ignore them… Now we know some AI “feature” will ignore them.
See the difference?
