Good, now stop requiring manufacturers to include the fucking Copilot key on the keyboard. Bastards.

I’m pretty sure you can repurpose that key as it’s literally just a macro key. They put a bunch of office shortcuts in back in 10 where you could press like Win+Alt+Shift+Ctrl+W to open Word so that they could have a Word button and this is actually just the same thing.

Not that it makes removing the Super button any better just throwing it out there.

There's also a linkedin shortcut

I recently got an upgraded work laptop and the NPU from what I can tell can be used to offload the background blurring function on my camera. Which the GPU could do too. And in my old laptop, the CPU handled the task, though poorly. Seems like a solution looking for a problem.

It was so obviously transparent that MS issued a directive that all bonus structure for PMs was tied to implementing copilot somewhere in the product, and the value of the brand was almost immediately destroyed. The copilot+ PC were especially bad after the Recall disaster.

Oh no how unfortunate.

the number of people who -ever- thought this was a good idea could likely fit in a small microsoft conference room.

I went to Nobara Linux a couple of months ago. Haven't looked back. It's so refreshing.
