If Recall is not completely illegal already in the EU then Microsoft is doing an any% speedrun from launch to having EU wide legislation specifically banning your product. There is no scenario where the EU will allow this to exist within it

Because y'all don't mask any more and if all I can do is sit at home then why not be warm while at it? And be closer to family, too. I can travel wearing the Halo to visit my brother's family (in the UK) and my parents (in Hu

So let's exclude those people from society, that's what you are saying. It's not just traveling thousands of miles, it's boarding a bus or entering any indoor space with unmasked people. And yes, that exclusion is the re

It indeed lies on very solid reasoning: a probabilistic predictor doesn't deal in facts. You'd need CyC for that.
