In December, an investigation by Tom's Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its "filter sensitive information" setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

Always expect worse never expect anything else. They are only here to make their lives easier and all of ours harder. Kill capitalism and the economy or forever be under tyranny. What's worse is there's no system you can use because I truly believe we cannot properly do an economy. Everytime it's failed. Always an issue you can't solve because it's a part of the foundation.

And people wonder why I hate our species. Thanks for confirming it, I'm going to go get hit by a freight train because we are doomed.

Please don't hurt yourself. Not everybody here on Earth lacks hope and a determination to do the right thing and see things through. We can do this and make this all mean something for ourselves, the future generations, and all living beings here.

I have been in a pit of despair just like you seem to be right now. I know it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's there if you seek it out. Start by controlling what you can, help yourself to feel good, get some fresh air, read uplifting news, do fun things, or don't - it's up to you.
