    Microsoft accidentally made windows better in an update for the first time in years 😂

    Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”

    Removing Copilot wasn’t unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.

      i believe you’re on to something, with the thought that removing it wasn’t unintentional…

      i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates

    Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen

      "But imagine that in a decade maximum, your computer would have full conscience and be like Torment Nexus from the hit novel series “Don’t Build the Torment Nexus”.

    Too late. I already jumped ship because of Copilot’s “Recall”, and I’m not interested in going through a round of partitioning the hard drive and installing a new OS so soon.

        I’d prefer AI cores, just like I prefer HW based AES instructions: present and up to my discretion as to how I choose to use them, or not.

          If it’s a choice between AI-accelerated cores and nothing, sure, but that silicon space could have been used for AVX-512 or a bigger cache instead.

    That’s a feature Microsoft. Start removing more crap and you might have an actual OS and not just a complicated slow overpriced billboard.
