In 10 years these copilot buttons on keyboards are going to look like Blockbuster buttons on older Roku remotes
Looking forward to the “co-pilot remapper” companion app that allows me to launch and hide whatever app I want with that button.
Looking at you Terminal!
I am like 97% sure it’s already just a macro key that simulates a press of win+ctrl+c or something like that that can be changed in the registry. They added a bunch of combos that open office apps and shit a while back.
But you can also just pin Terminal or any other app to your taskbar and then press win+[number desired pinned app is away from start button/search/task/whatever].
I’ll be damned. How long has that been a thing?!?
For sure it’s been an option since 7, but I feel like I remember there being a way to do something similar in XP.
The first thing I did after wiping windows and installing Arch on my new Thinkpad. It’s now my Ollama button for whatever model I feel like running locally.
Microsoft itself, in fact, declared that all PCs will be AI PCs
It’s funny that Microsoft intended for this to be a marketing boon, but many users read it as a threat.
Its not hype its marketing. There is not a single soul on this earth genuinely hyped about co pilot.
Sure there is. Remember that guy that presented it for Microsoft and he didn’t understand why nobody else was hyped?
There’s that guy.
If that guy wasnt being paid his salary to do whatever the fuck he does I’d bet my left nut he wouldnt give a single fuck about co pilot and would probably be driving a macbook
100% 😂
In reality, the most common answers are “No shit, Sherlock!” and “What’s Copilot?”
The “Shut up!” only comes after you point out that Linux doesn’t have forced AI bullshit.
(They hated Jesus because he told them he uses Arch, btw.)
More AI bubble bullshit.
Shockingly if you create a product no one wanted or needed it sells badly.
giving AI the power to do things on your PC will lead to cases like:
Google’s Agentic AI wipes user’s entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure
FAFO. If you don’t want to control your computer then you wont have control over your computer.
Zune, Metro, Copilot+
If you know, you know.
I’m confused, the Zune and Metro (pre Windows 8, Metro was introduced with the Zune HD and used in Windows Phone) are some of the better things Microsoft has ever produced.
If you said UMPCs, Cortana, Copilot+ I would understand.
Métro, boulot, dodot?
The zune was truly awesome! Its only weakness was that Microsoft actually didn’t really believe on it (same with the Kin)
“[Enter any AI LLM service or solution here] failed to deliver on over-hyped promises”
