Hot Take:

Microsoft's Recall feature seems to have been recalled itself after it raised more red flags than a bullfighter convention. Who knew that a feature that creepily records your every move would be about as welcome as a telemarketer at dinner time? Maybe Microsoft's new tagline should be: "Microsoft Recall – making 'Black Mirror' episodes a reality since 2023."
