Initial Recall preview was lambasted for obvious privacy and security failures.

Like clockwork; wait till the outrage dies down, try again in a few months.
every single time.
they always come back to try again.
Free Software is the only permanent defense to enshittification tactics.
It worked for Google
I mean, I don't think they ever said "you're all right, we'll never do anything like this again and retire the entire idea".
They said they were reassessing the security concerns. Which they did, and are trying again with slightly different methodology.
I'm not telling you to like the feature idea, but you're acting as if Microsoft is trying to hoodwink people in this specific case, when they are actually just doing what they said they were going to do.
I wonder why they're so insistent to add it if all the data stays on device?
Because it actually seems useful for a lot of people? I'd actually want to run this, but I don't use Windows.
Because of course they are. It went so well the first time.
All shall be sacrificed on the altar of shareholder value
Are they mentally or ethically incontinent? Stupid and/or evil is leaking out from everywhere.
that'll coincide with the date of uninstalling Windows off my last PC!
