   Microsoft have started running paid adverts for Recall, apparently unaware the feature didn’t ship. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/new-microsoft-ads-tout-unavailable-recall-feature-dont-mention-it-was-indefinitely-delayed-due-to-privacy-concerns

     XDA Developers, who were a good source of behind the scenes info during the Microsoft Recall saga, are saying Microsoft have kicked Recall into the long grass and they think it may never launch. https://www.xda-developers.com/thread/microsoft-wants-you-to-forget-about-copilot-recall-it-seems/

     It’s been almost two months since Microsoft said it would launch for Insiders in “weeks” instead.

     Should Microsoft Recall ever reappear I plan to keep checking how secure it is, because the next evolution of security cannot be Microsoft pouring petrol onto the infostealer fire.

     Infostealer malware is swiping millions of passwords, cookies, and search histories. It’s a gold mine for hackers—and a disaster for anyone who becomes a target.

     Something about Recall which I don’t think got enough (any?) coverage is it was marketed by Satya as using the NPU.. but it didn’t.
