Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

Remember Microsoft's Recall? The first implementation was never released and was met with strong criticism from privacy advocates and the infosec/security community. Guess what? Microsoft has doubled down, and its controversial Recall scraper is finally entering the public preview stage. If you care about privacy, please think twice before using this on your AI-enabled PCs (Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs) https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/11/22/previewing-recall-with-click-to-do-on-copilot-pcs-with-windows-insiders-in-the-dev-channel/

Repeat after me: Snapdragon-based PCs (or laptops) are only safe with Linux or BSD operating systems. They are unsafe with Windows 11 and its Recall feature, even for gaming or other purposes.
