Again?! **[TechLinked](https://daily.dev/sources/techlinked)** · 6 min read · 1 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary A satirical tech news roundup covers ChatGPT macOS's new opt-in 'computer history' feature that logs clicks and keystrokes (but not screenshots, unlike Windows Recall), OpenAI reportedly disbanding its AI preparedness team per the Financial Times, a major GitHub outage degrading web/API requests and enterprise SSO, Flock Safety tightening license-plate camera controls after police misuse scandals, YouTube changing its view-counting methodology starting August 24th, a GeCom mini PC driver bundled with backdoor malware, and Unitree's humanoid robot claiming a speed record ahead of its Shanghai IPO. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does the new ChatGPT macOS computer history feature actually track? It is an opt-in feature that logs events like clicks and keystrokes rather than taking screenshots, unlike Microsoft's Windows Recall. It automatically ignores private browsing tabs, and users can block-list specific sites so the AI never records activity on them. OpenAI demoed it finding a user's last edited doc and summarizing their workflow. _Developers weighing AI productivity tools against privacy tradeoffs can track feature rollouts like this on daily.dev._ ### What caused the GitHub outage and what services were affected? A global GitHub outage degraded about 20% of web and API requests at its peak, confirmed around 14:00 UTC, with raw file and archive downloads failing nearly half the time. Enterprise login systems like SAML and SSO were broadly impacted, and Copilot was also affected. API and pull request issues were resolved first, and locally stored Git repositories were unaffected since Git is distributed. No official cause was announced, though most issues were fixed by 8:45 p.m. UTC. _Teams depending on GitHub uptime for CI and auth can follow incident details like this on daily.dev._ ### When is YouTube changing how it counts video views? Starting August 24th, YouTube counts a view as soon as a video starts playing, the same system Shorts have used since March 2025. This will likely make public view counts for regular videos and live streams rise faster. The previous counting method becomes 'engaged views' in analytics, and YouTube states the change will not affect creator earnings or Partner Program eligibility. _Creators and developers building on YouTube's API can track metric changes like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [rolflobker/recall-for-linux: Bring Microsoft Recall to Linux\!](https://daily.dev/posts/rolflobker-recall-for-linux-bring-microsoft-recall-to-linux--6cef8owsn) · Hacker News · 1 upvotes · 1 comments - [The Download: how people really use AI, and Flock’s design choices](https://daily.dev/posts/the-download-how-people-really-use-ai-and-flock-s-design-choices-ad8ktldlh) · MIT Technology Review · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Recall is one of Windows 11's best features this year, but almost nobody will use it](https://daily.dev/posts/recall-is-one-of-windows-11-s-best-features-this-year-but-almost-nobody-will-use-it-whiagequd) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#security](https://daily.dev/tags/security), [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#privacy](https://daily.dev/tags/privacy), [#ai-safety](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-safety) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/recall-again--gbsfce7qa) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Recall?!
