"But most significantly, Microsoft has made Recall a feature you must opt in to using rather than opt out of using, and it's possible to remove it completely."
Important bit
"Whoopsie, we turned it on for everyone by accident after an update! We made a fucky wucky!"
"Whoopsie, turns out we lied and recall was enabled from the start and just pretended to be off" 😄🤷♂️
"we noticed you uninstall Recall. Probably just an accident. We reinstalled it in an unremovable way and enabled it for you. You're welcome!"
