>Windows Recall is completely local

I'm pretty confident if the NSA or whatever asks MS for those screenshots, they've got a way of making them non-local. The EU is already pushing for mandatory local scanning for CSAM, do you think they wouldn't also extend this to Windows Recall snapshots once the technology is there?

I don't take Microsoft devices seriously, esp. PCs, except the Xbox they never last or gain widespread adoption..

Microsoft Surface

I've never seen one irl.

I’ve seen exactly one. Got one at a dev agency I worked at as a Windows test device.

This was like a 3rd or 4th generation one, I think. I was really excited to finally get my hands on one because they were supposed to be really good.

TL;DR it was mediocre-leaning-bad judged as a laptop, and a terrible tablet. I can’t figure out how they got anything but bad press for the things.
