    Microsoft Recall.

    Worse than all but the worst viruses, for real. Takes screenshots of everything (everything), and stores the contents where hackers can steal them easily.

    It’ll probably get quietly reactivated every few updates, so you can never really afford not to be checking.

      Recall was never actually released, you do realize? It was also only on Copilot+ devices.

      It has been reworked to be completely encrypted and secure, and still isn’t out.

      was gonna say this but you beat me to it. i absolutely hate it when corporations add things to products that nobody asked for. I’m dreading getting a new computer (windows 10 user here who is already fed up with bs windows updates that screw things up everytime)
