So @xaitax has cracked Microsoft Recall, he's got access to the encrypted database and has automated dumping of screenshots and all text from screenshots.

VERY important: do NOT give Discord this information. DO NOT. It goes to multiple third-parties, who link it to a lot of sensitive personal information, and more than one of has already leaked people's PII. They also have lied multiple times about selfie verification not leaving your computer and deleting images of sensitive IDs.
