  • "And thus it was that the Great Finger Lords, thralls to Gordana the Pulchritudinous, cast their withered finger-bodies into the Well of Sanguine Apoploxy, shattering the Piteous Eye, and covering the vale in a shadow of fingers.

    Only when the Order of the Beshivered Spindle is restored upon the Great Finger-ruine Mountain will Bodkin the Befingered, with his Great Spear of Unreturning, return to rebuild the Yeoman’s Sepulchre and return the Affrighted Digitus, with its many weird, tiny baby-faced fingers, to its finger-realm. Fingers."




  • At first glance, the Recall feature seems like it may set the stage for potential gross violations of user privacy. Despite reassurances from Microsoft, that impression persists for second and third glances as well. For example, someone with access to your Windows account could potentially use Recall to see everything you’ve been doing recently on your PC, which might extend beyond the embarrassing implications of pornography viewing and actually threaten the lives of journalists or perceived enemies of the state.

    Despite the privacy concerns, Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account. “Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements. Screenshots are only available to the person whose profile was used to sign in to the device,” Microsoft says.

    This sounds very much like on of those claims that has an invisible “for now” attached to it. It’s always going to be a slow roll out with these kinds of things.
