I’m using AI in a very controlled manner, I don’t want somebody else to decide for me where it’s applied. Also, Windows 11 doesn’t have support for ultrawide monitors, and I happen to have one.

Psythik@lemmy.world 8 months agoSuch as? I love Windows 11 for Auto HDR alone. I never have to think about HDR at all in 11. It just works. In 10 the implementation was wonky at best. It often made things look worse so I literally never used it. Can’t wait for the dedicated Copilot key as well. 'Bout time they retired the useless Menu key. I don’t know of any Linux distro that integrates AI with the OS… Do you? Cause I’m still willing to switch so long as it has AI and a proper HDR implementation.

What do you mean it doesn’t support ultrawide monitors? I had an ultrawide for almost a decade and every version of Windows supported it flawlessly.

The new task bar can’t be moved to a short edge, so it obstructs a significant part of the screen.
Windows 11 can be displayed on a ultra wide monitor, but it’s not designed to work on that aspect ratio.

So you technically can move the task bar to the edge in Windows 11, but if requires a registry change. Ludicrous, but if you’re a home user you can do it.
If you’re stuck on an IT-managed install for work like I am, however, you’re out of luck

Hm so you mean the task bar isn’t flexible then? Not quite what I understood by not working with ultrawides but I guess I can see where you’re coming from.

Ehy would you want “AI” in an OS?
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There are very legitimate usecases.
Better offline translation, image descriptions for the less visually able, being able to search for specific images (e.g. going to the gallery app and searching for all your dog pics).
Is that how Microsoft will use AI? Lmao of course not
It’ll be used as a shitty chatbot that only exists to siphon your data and send it to Microsoft so they can target you with more ads, some of which will be pushed to you via that very same AI “assistant”.

You have a point and I was a little too against it. Still, having offline AI will transform any PC into a heater, no?
