“The vault is solid, the delivery truck is not” — strong key storage, shaky transfer: why this Windows Recall feature raises new security questions

Windows Recall, an AI-driven tool by Microsoft designed to capture and analyze users' screen content, was initially unveiled in 2024 but faced a delayed rollout due to significant security concerns. It launched in April 2025 with enhanced security features, including isolation within a "VBS Enclave" to protect against third-party access and filtering out sensitive information. However, security researcher Alexander Hagenah identified a flaw where data is transmitted to a less secure process, d AIXHost.exe, allowing tools like TotalRecall Reloaded to access sensitive data without administrative privileges. Despite reporting this vulnerability, Microsoft deemed it "not a vulnerability" and has not planned significant fixes. In response to user backlash, Microsoft is reassessing its AI initiatives, including Windows Recall, while privacy-focused organizations have introduced features to block the tool. Experts are calling for improved security protocols and user opt-out options.

I spent 6 months saving for up for a banged-up truck in GTA RP and now I know exactly what I want from GTA 6’s multiplayer

Rockstar is expected to continue supporting GTA Online alongside the new multiplayer features of GTA 6. The team behind FiveM, Cfx.re, suggests that GTA 6 will incorporate deeper roleplaying elements. GTA Online has received over a decade of updates, enhancing gameplay with customizable weapons and vehicles. The roleplaying scene offers a more nuanced experience, emphasizing creativity and storytelling. The economy in GTA Online thrives on excess, while roleplay servers reflect a grounded reality where earning in-game currency takes time and effort. The anticipated GTA Online 2.0 may feature two distinct experiences: one of abundance and one aligned with the roleplaying ethos. The acquisition of Cfx.re hints at a potential integration of more roleplaying elements in GTA 6, which could differentiate the PC version from previous installments.
