Was there no one at Microsoft who looked at Recall and said: This really, really sucks

Our vultures weigh in on the week that was more 'what we Built' than 'what you can Build'

Kettle Microsoft held its annual Build developer conference this week with that bizarre Copilot+ PC launch tacked on the side.
