Too late, I'm already in love with linux mint!

Why the fuck did I need Copilot in Notepad in the first place?
There's still someone at Microsoft with common sense. That's probably too little too late.
Too little, too late. I switched to Linux and I am NEVER going back. My computer runs so much more smoothly and coolly since making the switch.
It needs to be rolled back altogether. If the background spy app isn't done away with, anything else is pointless window dressing. It was bogging my work computer down to unusable until I found out how to force it not to run.
Do tell how
the background apo you call "spy app" is recal and its
- for copilot + arm pcs only.
- off by default
- and runs local only, so not spying
Considering it's a closed source, proprietary system, you sure seem confident about the 'local only not spying ' thing.
use wireshark. there are many ways to monitor traffic
I hear you, but it's no secret Windows sends telemetry data back to the Mother Ship, so how can you distinguish whether or not that includes Recall data?
one of the only things this sort of AI is good at is summarizing, so it could be distilling your most sensitive info down into a brief but juicy dossier that it actually sends encrypted to microsoft. Or it could only send when specific content like political dissidence is detected. Wireshark solves nothing
Eh. Okay. If you are saying that copilot sends no data back to microsoft relating to what I am doing on my PC... I.. believe?... You? Thanks?
One way or another, copilot was running on my PC after an update and was causing a lag in everything including mouse and keyboard input. I disabled it using this method : https://youtu.be/huKvvOKbkaA and the lag immediately went away with no other change.
So I don't care if they were sending my personal keyboard info to Putin himself, to copilot main model as prompts, just storing training info in a binary file on my pc or just sitting there doing "nothing" and clogging my memory, it was making a noticeable difference in my PC operation.
Holy shit!!!!! I don't care, fuck microslop.
Now tell me when they stop trying to force OneDrive for everyone’s private data
If they knew any better, they'd link rewards to enrollment. Customers want choice and incentives.
