I keep seeing this everywhere, and I had to go to Great lengths to remove co-pilot from my windows 11 on my current PC once I upgraded. Had to use a bloatware removal script to forcibly get that thing the hell off there. Now I’m seeing ads on Amazon and other places about PCs being bundled with copilot AI. I have tried using co-pilot myself, it is completely worthless. That thing is a hot piece of garbage, and somehow, works even worse than chat GPT. Like, that is truly impressive, because Chat GPT has degraded in quality over time and now they are in the news often for various controversies, the latest being a complaint about how they can’t survive without stealing copyrighted content…

Who in their right mind is hoping to get a copilot powered PC???

    Why even “up” grade in the firstplace? I’m keeping some of my windows systems at 10 due to bullshit hardware restrictions and others because I see no meaningful appeal to this cancerous platform.

          Why wouldn’t anyone want this (other than see below) ? Ltsc seems like a better version of windows and yeah, long term security support. I don’t think there’s a legitimate way for home users to get access to this for a reasonable price though. Piratey options make me nervous with OS stuff so I’ve avoided this. I really don’t want the headache of a random unexpected OS lock down with an “invalid license” warning after some routine Tuesday security update.

        I’m in the US so that kind of future planning is beyond current capabilities. Could very well see myself driving shirtless on a stolen motorcycle and swinging a chain 13months from now. Pretty sure Linux will be the OS of the apocalypse anyway.

      Good morning sir/ma’am I’m here to tell you about our Lord and Savior Linus Torvalds. He sacrificed his wallet to bring you a free and open operating systems. We don’t judge what flavor of Linux you use. As long as you agree that Linus saved us from Bill Gates who stole ancient secrets from the ruins of Xerox Parc and has since embraced the evil that is bloat ware.

      Through Linux you can be saved!
