@GossiTheDog The MacBook Neo comes out and Microsoft instantly shits themselves
@kalleboo @GossiTheDog I'm genuinely surprised at that product. It's even somewhat repairable by Apple standards.

Turns out telling PMs to bake Copilot into everything was a dumb idea.
@GossiTheDog good
-
@grumpasaurus @GossiTheDog Hahaha that'll never happen. They're probably doing it for cost savings.
@mayintoronto @GossiTheDog i mean let's be real focusing on outcomes just leads to more bikeshedding on which kpis to chase

@grumpasaurus @GossiTheDog Near- to medium-term team-level outcomes only or bust!

@GossiTheDog - turns out adding a feature consumers didn't ask for - and many are actively turning off - wasn't a great plan and not worth the infrastructure you've devoted hundreds of millions of your shareholders' profits to.
The tech equivalent of 3D TVs.

@GossiTheDog my org broke access to the windows store, so I never got the notepad update with copilot, I only ever got the tabs/“keep your tabs when it closes without saving” features which are fantastic.
Thank god vulnerability management isn’t my job.
I never had Copilot in Notepad either. What a profoundly stupid idea to put thoisin Notepad to begin with. Good to see they take back some AI. I am not reassured yet.

This is unexpected behaviour by MicroSlop Corp.
Having seen pulped users routinely ignored by the juggernaut for decades, I can't imagine the magnitude of the pushback against Slop-Integration that would have produced this back-track.

@GossiTheDog What about Paint? Please, tell me they’re taking it out of Paint. Not that I’ll go back to use it on the regular—that bridge has been burned—but this needs to stop. I counted at least 16 different versions of Copilot when I updated a relative’s computer several weeks ago. Deters me from ever wanting to go back to Windows as my daily driver.

I'm quite surprised. Rather than backpedal, I expected them to double down. -

@GossiTheDog guess they finally realised why burn cash training Copilit fly when Captain Gemini is about to take control...

I'm quite surprised. Rather than backpedal, I expected them to double down.i think whoever observed that as long as all the promotions/bonuses are already paid, teams won't care about undoing what they already knew was pointless.
large micro$lop customers will still buy whatever swill micro$lop ships and small businesses aren't cared about by micro$lop managers or stakeholders.

Oh, the developers are undoubtedly happy to dump that crap. I expected _management_ to double down on it. -

@GossiTheDog @Alphastream Man, few things about Windows infuriate me more than what they’ve done to Notepad recently.

@paul_ipv6 @brouhaha @GossiTheDog
There could be an alternative explanation (if the Copilot isn't a local model, I don't know how it works in these cases) - they may take into account that it's too expensive.
