Windows Recall remains controversial a year after its announcement. Now, the Brave browser has taken new measures to "protect" users from the feature.

    A device that surreptitiously gathers information on a target is called a bug, not a feature.

      It’s not a bug, it’s a feature we don’t like 🤣

      Well, not really, a bug is unintentional. Even calling it a design flaw is a stretch, it’s a feature that isn’t for your benefit.

        “Bug” also means “listening device.”

          If it was intentional double entendre then I retract my comment, but used in the context of “bugs and features” there’s a contextual implication.

            It was wordplay, yes.
