Another story about devices spying on you caught my eye this week. Microsoft's co-pilot will soon include a program called Recall which takes screenshots of your activity.

It was going to be activated by default, until people complained about it, so now you have to opt in, but I'm already unhappy about all the updates I receive, because you don't know what you are going to get until you restart the device. For example, co-pilot was slipped in under the radar, and I had no idea until I spotted the icon.

But at least if you have a problem with the PPU, saying you can't use certain apps because they don't keep any history, you can now say to them that all your internet activity has been recorded and is available for them to see.
