Microsoft once again delays launching Recall
Recall, if you recall, is their replay "assistant" that no one seems to particularly be asking for. It takes screen shots of your computer and stores them so that you can look back if you lose information. During the first tests of it we learned that the storage of said snapshots were not secure, so someone who'd infiltrated your computer could conceivably see banking credentials, medical records, etc.
From the article: "Originally planned for October, Recall will now be available for preview with Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs by December."
and
"Earlier this week, Microsoft again clarified that Recall will not be mandatory on Copilot Plus PCs, and will be an opt-in experience that can be fully removed."
It'll be interesting to see the blowback when this thing finally deploys, especially if it isn't fully opt-in.

Yeesh. I'm not sure I've used their photos app. Doesn't sound terribly unusual, though.
