“Yes, #Windows #Recall will take automatic screenshots of whatever you do on your computer and store them, it’ll require a computer with at least 16 GB btw, but hey it’s not a privacy nightmare as you folks say! All the data is stored locally, it won’t go to Microsoft’s cloud!”
Sure, it’s stored locally in an unencrypted SQLite database. An unencrypted database that contains all the activities the user has ever done on the computer btw. I’m sure that no hackers, no lawyers, no intelligence services and no scammers will *ever* think of accessing that, right?
