    Once a minute, and only if the screen contents change. I imagine there’s something lightweight enough.

      In order to be certified for running Recall, machines currently must have an NPU (Neural Processing Unit, basically an AI coprocessor). I assume that is what makes it practical to do by offloading the required computation from the CPU.

      Apparently it IS possible to circumvent that requirement using a hack, which is what some of the researchers reporting on it have done, but I haven’t read any reports on how that affects CPU usage in practice.

        Recall analyses each screenshot and uses AI or whatever to add tags to it. I’d assume that’s what the NPU is used for.
