Someone at the BBC needs to learn the difference between data and information.
The table below is packed full of data but actually tells the reader nothing.
Unless you're not only able to convert currencies in your head, but also have a firm grasp of the relative purchasing power & disposable incomes of consumers in the US, Canada, and the UK, it's impossible to derive anything meaningful from these numbers.

Here's Microsoft's announcement:
"First, we are updating the set-up experience of Copilot PCs to give people a clearer choice to opt-in to saving snapshots using Recall. If you don’t proactively choose to turn it on, it will be off by default."
"Second, Windows Hello enrollment is required to enable Recall. In addition, proof of presence is also required to view your timeline and search in Recall."
"Third, we are adding additional layers of data protection including “just in time” decryption protected by Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) so Recall snapshots will only be decrypted and accessible when the user authenticates. In addition, we encrypted the search index database."
Plus, a whole bunch of stuff about enhanced security for Copilot PCs

How do people organise their micro-SD cards?

It's not like the old days with floppy disks that had a cover label large enough to write stuff on.
Maybe I need a cute little box to store them in, where each card can live in a labelled compartment, something like that.
