Brave blocks Microsoft Recall by default

Be glad you've gone through life without having a partner or friend that just puts everything on the desktop.

And then complains to you all their files have disappeared.

Usually it's because they've run out of diskspace and windows has created a temporary profile for them (which is crazy default behaviour when you think about it). Not sure if that's still a thing.

Of course they just closed the popup saying "you're running low on diskspace" last week. After all, what are they supposed to do about that?

I save everything to my desktop and when it gets too messy, move the stuff I'm done with to a folder called archive. If I'm looking for something recent, it's on my desktop, else it's in my archive folder. Works pretty well for me.

I was married to someone for over 20 years who did that. She got told to stop doing it at work as well years ago because it took 40 minutes to copy her profile on login/logout.
