techspot.com Kishalaya Kundu 2025-12-25 15:04:00

The big picture: Since its announcement last year, Windows Recall has faced mounting criticism from privacy experts who have labeled it a potential surveillance tool – despite Microsoft's assurances of airtight security.

Signal was one of the first apps to block Windows Recall from capturing screenshots of

I get a lot of odd pitches in my inbox, but “9V battery-flavored corn chips” still stopped me in my tracks. My mind was ringing with questions (What? Who? Why!?!), but most importantly: What are they going to taste like? This limited edition flavor comes from Rewind, a new brand launching in Europe, starting with the Netherlands, promising to blend “nostalgia with exciting flavors.” Most of these sound pretty normal — cheese and onion, sriracha, paprika — but their nod to the “weird universal m
