If someone hacks your system, it's much easier for them to find
sensitive financial info in your filesystem than to break Recall
encryption and scour your screenshots that might show it.

I don't get it.  In my decades of using computers I never once thought
"It sure would be nice to have screenshots of everything I did the last
2 weeks."  Finding things by reviewing screenshots seems much more
difficult than looking at a browser history or going to your filesystem
where you know the documents reside.

Some people want this bullshit.  Others want out.  Linux is the
answer.  Sure, you could not opt in with this feature, but it's the
very idea that Win11 is promoting irrational AI features, just flush
it, cut your losses like I did last year.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
