Microsoft Windows 11 2024 Update Begins Rolling Out
Microsoft today released the Windows 11 2024 Update to the general user-base. This version of the operating system was being referred to as the Windows 11 "24H2 Update." Since Microsoft moved away from the biannual major release cycle for Windows, 24H2 was set up to be called simply the "2024 Update." Windows 11 2024 Update introduces several new experiences that leverage native AI acceleration on Copilot+ PCs—cool new things like super-resolution for Photos, or generative fill and erase tools in Paint. The update also releases Preview versions of Click to Do, and Windows Recall.
Click to Do is a generative AI-based utility that lets you perform text related actions anywhere (think rephrasing or summarizing something); or perform visual search for an item in a video or photo, using Bing. Windows Recall is a star-attraction, it lets you trace-back steps or actions in any compatible software, by relying on visual snapshots of your work to restore past actions. This should prove particularly useful for creative work. Both Click to Do, and Windows Recall require a Copilot+ PC (a machine with an NPU that has at least 40 AI TOPS of performance on offer). Windows 2024 Update should begin appearing in the Update section of Windows Settings.

I don't have any use for these new features. Especially
RecallSpycall but some do I guess.Directly? Like 3% or 4% of the market. Not a lot.

Personally I've been sticking to DDG. Google's results for some reason are not as productive for me, but it might be a very niche case.
I'm not suggesting that any of these Google alternatives is a trustworthy steward of your privacy, though that is what they claim. Trust no one. Rather I contend that anything you can do to diffuse/diminish your direct contact with quasi-monopolistic corporations is probably to the good.
If you compare 23h2 with memory integrity disabled and 24h2 with memory integrity enabled, it's a 5-10% average.
It's free performance, only going Linux would improve it further, if you have the patience to tolerate the Linux issues instead.
