   I feel this one of the best analysis on the whole Windows Recall privacy and security disaster waiting to happen and it's justified especially when Microsoft eroded a lot of users' trust for years now. https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/microsoft-has-lost-trust-with-its-users-windows-recall-is-the-last-straw

     The one thing that Zac does get wrong though: he's saying that Recall is only available in Copilot+ PCs but the key word is "right now".

     We all know that eventually, all newer PCs will be Copilot+ equipped and it would be hard to find a non-Copilot+ PC inevitably (much like having to find a non-Smart TV being a pain in the ass).

     So Microsoft is going to make their Windows Recall product opt in and require Hello authentication and proof of presence. https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/7/24173499/microsoft-windows-recall-response-security-concerns

     It's a good reassurance but long term, I still can't see them follow through on this pledge. All it takes is a Windows Update really as you all know (or should know).
