    I hope enough companies realize the inherent danger to their IP this feature brings. Or that the government realizes the inherent danger to CUI data and forces there to be an admin level lock of the feature so normal users can’t just turn it on.

    I and many others can’t just switch to Linux because we are required to use company laptops/desktops that are admin locked.

      If the US government bitching was enough to get the flight simulator easter egg removed from Excel (allegedly), I can’t imagine a similar stern glare from the Pentagon would not cause Recall to magically turn out to be uninstallable after all. At least from any US government owned computers originally so equipped.

      Anyway, isn’t this only going to roll out on “Copilot” compatible PC’s with the requisite AI acceleration chips in them? I would be furthermore immensely surprised if it could not be locked out in Group Policy for corporate customers.

      Somewhere, some patent lawyers are going to make millions debating about whether or not this constitutes “public disclosure”.

      I can’t wait until the first breach caused by Recall hits the FCC. It’s definitely gonna happen.
