That's not what Recall is and not how it works.
- lutusp 1y ago> That's not what Recall is and not how it works. You're right, I overstated how Recall works, right now. At the moment, it's opt-in and the images are only stored locally. I was wrong -- my claims were several months out of date. Recall's current form results from a heated online debate about its original form, which was neither encrypted nor opt-in. At the time I write this, Microsoft won't allow users to uninstall Recall, a demand made by security professionals who see serious risks for non-technical end users in the event of a compromised system. Having said that, let's revisit this feature some years from now. Let's see whether Microsoft's perennial corporate death-by-a thousand-cuts strategy has changed anything.
