Few will mourn the passing of Copilot+.
You must log in or # to comment.
lol guess what, i’m still not buying one
yea as if some letters on the case were the problem here
Oh no, how will I know what to avoid now? Just kidding. The answer is anything with Windows.
They gonna take away the ridiculous keyboard copilot key requirement?
IIRC you can’t even remap that thing right? It might be cool if you could launch a local model with it but fuck having to use microslop’s trash
You can. Sort of. On newer laptops, it registers as F23, which can be remapped, and on older laptops it registers as the key shortcut Win+Shift+F23, which can only be hijacked.
Even with this, though, the addition of this stupid copilot key, especially by taking away a Ctrl key, is absolutely wanker and I despise it.
I just disabled it completely since I really only use left ctrl.
My acer “nitrosense” key got hijacked to launch other things as well. Just about any custom slop on laptops can be reworked when you realize that they really don’t spend much money on the software side of those fancy buttons.
What is cool though, is that I got a super cheap laptop that was heavily subsidized by MS in the early AI push. The NPU the laptop came with had its drivers deleted and the bloat spyware acer nitrosense shit turned off shortly after. (Reworking the fan and LED controls wasn’t too hard, but it took a while.) They absolutely lost money on me, so that is nice.
The lesson here is that cheap laptops are designed to incur long term costs, or in the case of the Acer laptop I got, it was probably designed to self-destruct via its original power profiles. Magically, once I killed the beacons back to acers CMS and “warranty tracking” endpoints, the fans magically started working correctly. (The bearer tokens were hard-coded, so I spent a day or so injecting random telemetry data with nasty notes “from noth korea” about the executives mothers from every model of laptop the json templates had.)
So much money burned in the name of efficiency and wise investment of resources for absolutely fucking nothing but an eventual pathetic, quiet retreat from pushing a future that has already consumed incomprehensible amounts of money with even less to show for it than the VR bubble (though VR is actually cool and an actual technology that works so bad comparison).
Tell me again how capitalism is so efficient and is effective at lucidly designing tools and services for society that people desire and need… I won’t listen to a word you say as I keep using my open source tools.
VR is cool. Meta’s vision for VR was obviously dumb as hell and never going to work.
Imagine if all that money, time, resources and trust had been put in the control of actual game developers?
I’m confused. Who said capitalism was efficient?
Everybody who defends the idea that capitalism is the natural and right order of things and cannot be improved upon with an alternate more socialist arrangement of societal resources?
Ok. And who had said this?
Western media pilled folks
Such as? Jesus, why is a simple question so difficult to answer?
You can use google, im not gonna ask everyone on earth i’ve talked to for their names to add to a list.
In relation to this post, smartass.
