  I was using a work computer yesterday and I wanted to copy some lines of text to use again later. So i tried to open Notepad, it wasn’t installed on this machine. I had to open word instead. I thought Notepad came as standard?

    Notepad is on there. It’s just shit now. Saves automatically, reopens your last notepads, has copilot crap. FFS. I usually used notepad as a scratch pad to dump shit temporarily.

    Today I opened it on a client’s computer and they had 18 sage files or something automatically open back up. Problem was they were temporary files for doing bank transfer or whatever.

    Notepad barked about the file kissing for each one. I killed it from task manager and had to use word. 🤮

    Tldr, an iPhone is okay and has decent default out of the box, but going with grapheneos is the best move.

      Well graphene OS I have been told isn’t the best, and saw an article earlier about people who are now being targeted in Spain for having a pixel and arrested so it won’t be long before that spreads. I’m hoping to find something else but we need mass support so it isn’t targeted while it not being a large corporation

    You can use a degoogled phone. Poxel phones can ise graphene os. Other but not all phones can use lineage os. And murena makes a phone that can use their e os

      Okay so as someone in the U.S. that wants phone calls, texts, and apps of my choosing, what can I use. Because I have to assume every Google pixel will be targeted if they have already started in Spain. Trump’s a one upper

  Jesus Fucking Christ. Why would anyone who wants to write a simple letter or some other basic stuff in Word (which is what most of home users do) want any of this crap?

  You’ll be able to disable it, like anything else.

  The problem isn’t co-pilot. Co-pilot is reasonably useful if you’re careful.

  The problem is that it will almost certainly cost extra.

  And that’s fucking terrible.

    The problem is absolutely copilot. Microsoft is basically force installing spyware.

    That happened months ago, they simply used a little slight-of-hand to hide it.

  I wonder if this applies to those of us with the non Ai version.
