Surface Pro owner asked if Microsoft would improve memory consumption, since they had to disable on-device AI services just to run a local model.

A cynic would say that customers disabling Copilot is finally what forced Microsoft's hand.

    I disable every single new feature from all non Foss vendors. Theyre ALWAYS shit. 99% of the time its a shitty ui change for no reason and now shitty ai thats useless for no reason.

    Whatever happened to good software. They all went to Foss lol

    That's why Valve/Steam holds the line. People think public corporations can choose not to be evil; they legally can, but it's practically impossible. That's why we need strong government and regulation.

    Hang on, how many surface pro owners are trying to run a local model i.e. local LLM on 8GB ram? I've got 32gb ram and it struggles with most larger models
