A joke in the aviation industry is that planes will someday become so automated there will just be one pilot and a dog in the cockpit. The dog will trained to bite the pilot if they try to touch the controls.
So I maybe windows users will need a virtual dog to bite copilot if it tries to do anything.

I disable that shit the next time I’m in the computer. We also manage the updates so users can’t run them on their own.
