Summary

Nutrition label

67% Informative

Recall was supposed to be disabled by default, but, it appears, Microsoft has gone back to enabling it by default.

Recall takes snapshots of the screen a user is working on, to then catalog it and serve for later fetching as a scrollable timeline.

Recall also breaks an important Windows feature if someone tries to remove it.

Microsoft doesn't seem to have any plans to make the process an easy one.
