Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon
Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon
Windows 11 Insider builds are now auto-launching Copilot when you boot the OS, and it's gross and I hate it and stop it right now.
I do think that microsoft copilot is good enough for alot of people. I really like it, much more than chat gpt. And that they give you "GPT 4" for free which is cool
Would I love it being forced? No
They will create the same situation as Ubuntu Snap. Is Snap bad? Actually not. Is everything else regarding Snap like Snap Store or the fact that they force it down your throat good? No
And I notice that after today/yesterday's update, my Win11 machine "helpfully" put a Copilot icon in my taskbar without asking me. Thanks?
I poleaxed it in the registry. Yes, I saw the toggle in taskbar settings. No, I don't care. Disable that shit. Get it off my computer.
I wonder if Microsoft will get the point if people keep asking it "Can I use msconfig to disable copilot?"
msconfig for those unaware:
It already does on my laptop. They also keep setting my default browser back to Edge. I don't use my laptop much anymore and keeping up with the BS of having to disable stuff I don't want running has become tiresome to the point where I don't even want to use it.
I know, I know, something something install Linux! Question I have there is my laptop is a gaming laptop so my question to all you Linux folks is. Can I continue to game using Linux. Will it work with my Nvidia Graphics card and Steam. If so I might consider it.
Recently I changed to Linux (running fedora) and I haven't looked back since. Fuck Windows
I don't know what to think about the rushed inclusion of Copilot. It's so very very flawed.
The only thing I can think of is that users are training it by using it and therefore Microsoft is getting free labor from you (as well as search/advertising revenue through their lock screens, dynamic as based backgrounds, live tiles, etc).
I think we're the product here guys.
I figured it already was on 11 since they've added it to 10 also recently. You can at least turn it off pretty easily in 10 (though IDK if that's just because I have Pro; didn't need to use the GPM so I assume Home can disable it too).
Could you, like... Disable TPM in the BIOS and just go back to 10? The only reason it hasn't auto-updated to 11 for me is because I never enabled TPM in my BIOS. And I don't plan on doing so, either.
I assume Copilot is emanating an ear piercing sound as it escapes the confines of her laptop in that thumbnail art.
Today I installed arch on my dad's computer. he can't use one,but it's a win nonetheless.
I have to work with power automate often (doing that gives me money, don't judge). They recently did a make-over of the interface where you can make and adjust the flows. They made it even shittier. Didn't fix any of the obvious super annoying issues with connections and references and them randomly being broken and stuff. Added copilot tho. Why? Now you can type "i'ld like it to send an e-mail!" instead of selecting the "send an e-mail" action, while taking up a fifth of the screen. Jesus fucking christ wrong priorities.
Not a fan of it being forced upon anyone but I'll add lately that I've been using it to spit out Python scripts and ansible playbooks to stunning efficiency that makes my life much easier.
I tried Bard last year and it sucked, maybe Gemini is better now. I could see myself paying for one of these eventually, given how much more free time I have with the kids (or at the bar!).
Copilot was installed on my laptop one day, so I asked it ‘How can I destroy Microsoft?’, but it said it could not answer that, so what good is it?
What a wonderfully mature and unbiased article to be finding on a technology community.
