ooh, I get what Windows Recall is for now!

[Clippy rolls up smug as fuck] Windows Automated Trust & Safety has detected you may be attempting to [research certain delicate historical topics|plan a protest|subvert the will of the Party/ruling class]. Please wait patiently where you are, the proper authorities have been notified.

Cram an AI in your PC, give it full access to all the things you do on it through a series of screenshots, and be sure the system prompt includes "phone home if they act a little... Luigi-ish".
