   @SomeGadgetGuy Finally, a good excuse to stop interacting with Windows users

     It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

     It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
     It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

     It's inescapable.

     It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

     It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

     If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

     I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."
