Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity

  I couldn’t think of one single scenario where this might be remotely handy.

  I literally gave you one - HDR toggling. You disregarded it because you didn’t want there to be any reasons.

    1. Why should i toggle hdr off?
    2. Takes a second to do with a mouse or keyboard

    As to the other example: Sure, useful. To people who just don’t care about privacy (Which is kinda weird from someone with the nick “freedomadvocate”). As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list. And especially not my contacts :-) Besides you’re just assuming one would exclusively use MS-products to do that. Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.

    But for people unable to do so “normally” or who would save tremendous amounts of time there might be a good use. But that’s what i said at the start. Very niche use-case.

      Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol

      Takes a second to do with a mouse or keyboard

      If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you’re in a game?

      As to the other example: Sure, useful.

      Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!

      To people who just don’t care about privacy

      How exactly do you think your privacy is being eroded? It’s all on-device and you have privacy settings to control what MS can learn from.

      As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list

      “MS” don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

      Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.

      AI can already interact with third party products.

        I never switched it off and never had problems in any content. Weird 😊

        If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you’re in a game?

        It’d be not the wisest move to toggle it while in a game. And maybe I’d need two seconds, possibly even three or four. A worthy price for privacy in my book

        Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!

        Nonsense. I said from the beginning there are niche-usecases. Those don’t invalidate all arguments per se

        MS" don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

        And here’s where you’re seriously wrong. It might be local only for simple things like file-search (doesn’t mean your voice-data isn’t sent for “performance and quality assurance” reasons). Most stuff is or will, obviously, be cloud-based. They wouldn’t put billions into that just so that regular Joe from accounting can open office faster. They do it for profit

        “MS” don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

        Yeah sure. Some features are local only. IF you have a compatible NPU in your machine. If not then it’ll be cloud too. The data on what is local only is freely accessible.

        AI can already interact with third party products

        Some ai with some 3rd party products. Surely never all with everything. Also we’re talking about copilot only.
