  No, due to multiple reasons. (Alternative OSes, group policy)

  That’s crazy, even on Linux and *BSD?

  Its not on LTSC. Fuck Copilot. Fuck Widgets. Fuck M$ Store. I highly recommend to anyone still using Windows today.

  I turned it off and deleted on my girlfriend’s Win 10 PC. Then a few minutes later there’s a big ad trying to get us to reinstall it. Yeah, Windows is fucked

  i genuinely turn it off but last week I was documenting something and I noticed copilot was trying to anticipate what I was writing. I’m okay with that type of help but otherwise it’s just in the way

    Wait so you turned copilot off, yet it was still reading everything you type?

      I turned it off in Windows but one of the latest Office patches does something that made it working in Word

      At first I was really annoyed but when it seemed to understand the spelling of a word that was not normal and then suggested it everytime I was about to type it, I kept it enabled and it did help me speed up the writing of that document

      basically a how to for using an old version of Veritas Netbackup that our LTO6 tapes are locked into

      I am migrating it to LTO8 and using TAR and LTFS, so no more closed source lock in

  Not on my machines. Open Source oses and tools are the only way to have a chance at dodging this kind of thing.
