    Oh, no! If only I could open the local group policy editor and set the recall policy to disabled! If only I could also enable bitlocker on my drive to prevent and *criminal *from being able to get to data on my drive! Whoever is going to steal my laptop is going to simply take it to a pawn shop to sell it, they’re not looking for the pictures of my cats anyways.

      I’m talking about criminals who exploit some vulnerability and gain the ability to read your file system, not physically steal your computer.

      As for Group Policy, if you think that’s going to actually turn off Recall recording, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

      And yeah, they’re not looking for cats. They’re looking for passwords, Social Security numbers, and other such secrets. Recall records everything you see.

      He’s too far gone to be reasoned with, Recall is going to collect all his passwords and a bad evil hacker is going to remote access his computer and steal them.

      I can feel the spittle from here.
