They forced something nobody asked for or had a use for beyond the quick what does it do? Then wandered why no one used it? Shocked Pikachu face.
The meta one in WhatsApp, utterly pointless. Copilot non-use to me at all. Gemini has less features than the old Google assistant and is worse in every way at doing the things it does do.
It would be great itlf they’d stop reshaping a working OS around fads.
Tablets went nowhere and left a big scar on Windows and now AI is gonna do the same.
They missed the boat on the one thing that could have made them money, gaming. If they’d put half the effort of this copilot crap into integrating something to compete with steam around that time then things would be very different.
This AI bubble needs to pop. It’s had it’s fun, it has some niches but for day to day usage at work and home it’s of no use to the vast majority of people.

I guess the thinking is making them next to worthless means they’ll get stolen less.
Most networks will bar a stolen pones IMEI if it’s reported but that doesn’t stop them so this would have to be a step up.
- Comment on Despite Microsoft's push, Windows 11 and Edge see decreases in user share 1 year ago:
It always used to be gamers and direct-x versions that pushed onto the newer versions of windows just to get the latest and greatest. Maybe it’s just me but the difference is minimal at best on the newer games and pointless on the older ones. Windows 11 enforces stricter rules on driver signing by default so older hardware, mainly niche peripherals need extreme jiggery pokery to get working if they work at all. Couple that with the general you’ll do it my way or not at all attitude Microsoft has taken with 11 and I’ll stick to windows 10 and keep using it the way I want.

I like that they list if the UK plug fits now, it was a guessing game with some of the cases
