Joe Ortiz<p>The one thing that Zac does get wrong though: he's saying that Recall is only available in Copilot+ PCs but the key word is "right now". </p><p>We all know that eventually, all newer PCs will be Copilot+ equipped and it would be hard to find a non-Copilot+ PC inevitably (much like having to find a non-Smart TV being a pain in the ass).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/WindowsRecall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindowsRecall</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>software</span></a></p>
