The pet peeve of every single Windows power user and Linux loser is the sensational coverage of virtually anything related to Windows Recall. Recently, a series of scripts were concocted by a programmer on GitHub to extract information and bypass the VBS protection of any data related to Windows Recall text, snapshots, and information. While all of this was done without any elevated privileges or use of an administrative user, the issue is not something unique to Recall. Of course, this overlooking the fact that Recall is only present on Copilot+ PCs, which given the fact they were already a minority of PC marketshare and the fact nobody can afford computers right now makes me skeptical how widespread of a problem this could actually end up being. That being said, I wouldn't use Recall because I don't want my CPU cycles being hogged just so Windows can attempt to make finding things I previously did easier. There has to be a better solution than calling a local AI to do it for you. I do like David "DWIZZZLE" Weston's talks, I just wish Microsoft would give him more screen time. Everything related to the Secured-Core PCs, the security model of the Xbox, and improved memory safety of Windows is all thanks to his team.
