Oh boy I can’t wait to try out this new feature on my laptop that is forced to run Windows 11 because it’s a Windows on Arm device and Samsung fucked it up so much that they didn’t even include a device tree file in the BIOS so I can’t even reinstall Windows. As if I didn’t already block gemini using my DNS server and Bing and Microsoft Office servers as a whole. Who is this feature for anyway? Just for data collection for Microsoft? So they can leak more shit through copilot from the rest of the world and companies that are forced to use this dumb operating system? So they can auction off the data to 150 trackers and companies to make a bit more money for an operating system you sometimes have to pay money for? Man IT departments sometimes having to put more work in to disable copilot for Microsoft to also just go behind your fucking back and advertise to your users to use copilot on their phones instead. I hate this company with a burning passion in my heart and soul. They are just as evil and souless as Adobe when it comes to just stealing your data and I’m glad that there will be some effort to avoid Microsoft in the future from countries that is somewhat actually just happening. Google and their shit is just as bad though and I also wish them a quiet stay in fucking hell with gemini and whatnot and leaking of personal information already. I’m just done. No one wants AI and I’m tired of having it get shoved into everything.
Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC

If you’re stuck with Win11, this will unfuck quite a bit of it.

Is “agentic” even a real word?

There’s no committee that approves words being added to the English language. Anything that’s understood by the group that uses it is a real word. We make up new words and change the definition of old ones all the time; dictionaries are descriptive, not proscriptive.
That doesn’t stop the concept of ‘agentic AI’ being a pile of bullshit being peddled by snake-oil salesmen, of course, but you don’t have to be Shakespeare to be permitted to make up new words.

The question should be more understood as “was the word agentic even in use prior to AI-people slapping it on everything?” It was a genuine question, I have never heard it until it being used in this context.

I honestly don’t mind as long as it’s down with permission. At least Microsoft are trying to do something interesting, computers are so boring nowadays. You could take any of the operating systems and wind them back five years and I probably wouldn’t notice.

OS’s should be boring. Applications are the interesting part of the computer. Anytime you get an OS trying to be “interesting” it’s really just invasive/annoying. OS is the bass player in the band.

From Microsoft “fuck you now all your files are on onedrive”, sure, they can be trusted. After all, it’s not like microsoft “I’m wiping this bootloader for you” have done anything shady before. Microsoft “I’ll revert those default apps settings because you clearly wanted edge when you changed everything to firefox/chrome” is THE company that respects user decisions. Microsoft “I’ll update and reboot now, fuck you” really knows how to stay in line and not do the opposite of what users want.
Really, what could go wrong in believing that Microsoft “I shit you not, you want to open that link in edge even though you uninstalled it” will honor the end-looser checking or unchecking a checkbox.

we need more PCS without oses or with a Linux distro instead.

Opt in, defaulted to off, but I’m sure that won’t stop people crying.

Great. Well I’m not pushing the update icon that’s been waiting on me for a few days. If Copilot is invasive and can’t be turned off, I may finally jump ship.

I’ve only owned windows machines… well since my first DOS machine in the 90s. I made the switch to Mac after hearing about the embedded Ads in 11.
I’m sure there are many more going to Linux.

Apple’s making it easy these days. Mac Minis are cheap and more than enough computer for 95% of people’s tasks, while also using sipping watts. I’m on a M4 Mac Mini and it’s using 3.91 watts right now. I’ve run it at full tilt for extended periods of time and I barely heard the fan. It even runs BG3 somehow.
That said, the power button being on the bottom is dumb but not a real issue. MacOS’s assumption that you’re going to be using a trackpad is annoying for those of us with nice mice. Actually, MacOS is just annoying in a lot of ways. I get that the bumpers are there to keep people from causing long lines at Genius Bars, but I wish there were just a single button that I could hit that tell the machine I know my way around a *nix and don’t need to be babied at every turn.

What about the weak old Notebooks?

sure, maybe as a reference tool. not as fucking something that can perform actions on my computer
