  1. Put a recurring event in your calendar to also make sure they didnt sneaky reenable it anyways.
  2. Set up monitoring to warn you of irregular activities originating from your pc, just in case they reenable it for everyone without telling they did and denying it.

  1. worry about your friends and family still using windows
  2. worry about how recall seems to be designed to be extra portable
  3. argue with yourself that actually its no wonder its made from sqlite, as its a recognized archival format, unlike microsofts own database wares
  4. argue with yourself that it really really looks like it was made to get "evidence" from a computer more easily but surely it wont be that bad
  5. marvel at how generous microsoft suddenly seems to be at the prospect of not-MS using a user's data... they could have asked for a ms access license or something or made it optional and to pay... but then people might not buy npu equiped pcs... what else could you do with an npu in "everyones" homes?
