    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

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

    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

        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
