Once again the Verge totally misses the point on #Recall, as they dismiss the security and privacy concerns with "If someone has access to your computer, you're already screwed because your computer is already collecting all this."

Like...DFIR pros with full control over a system know how to get at most of what a constant stream of screenshots provides to attackers/abusers, but having a straight up database of images is a level of access I don't think they've thought through. And as I've said, many infostealers are already primed to pull these kinds of databases.

#SamAsh is closing their stores nationwide. I only learned this today when heading past the one in King of Prussia. and I decided to buy myself a viola for $35. Now to figure out my neighbors' work and sleep schedules so I can figure out when I can try to learn to play this thing without driving them nuts.

(When I texted my wife to tell her I'd done this, I asked her not to buy a revolver, cf.
