I just heard about the Microsoft Recall program. What a strange name? I'm used
to hearing "recall" in relation to product defects as in "A company issues
recall program on product B".

Someone asked if they were
[recalling PCs](https://www.laptopmag.com/software/how-to-turn-on-the-interesting-but-contentious-recall-program-on-microsoft-copilot-pcs)
(the title speed--reads that way). I'm in a cave on Windows news.

I take it that
[Zeitgeist](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist_(free_software)#Features>)
was a bit too early? The sadly unsurprising (or surprising) part is that _by
consensus_, a recall program is something that most would probably consent to.
