MS: We are not responsible if your computer tries to kill you if you enable AI.
User: Okay!?
MS: enables AI by default
I am guessing that the next version of Windows will require a valid credit card number while being set up. That way Copilot can purchase and install other Microsoft products for you automatically in order to complete tasks it thinks you assigned it. Your acceptance of the EULA will be all the justification they need.
as opposed to MS install thier proprietary spyware.
Every time I read about these “upgrades”, I’m glad I ditched Windows on my personal computers.
Yeah, I still need Windows on my laptop for some schoolwork(GX works 2 for PLCs), that I can’t get to work on linux.
Really happy with Fedora KDE though, some things require a bit of fiddling, but I do enjoy the troubleshooting process.
That’s why I specified personal devices. My work laptop runs Windows 11. But it belongs to the company, so I don’t really care.
For other shit of mine that requires Windows (like vehicle diagnostics software), I just run a VM.
Hmm, I suppose maybe I could get GX Works to work on my main pc. It’s a pirated copy that our teacher handed out to us, but iirc the installation was fairly simple.
I haven’t ever used a VM though, will I have to set it up every time, or can I save the VM and start it up whenever I want to?

It’s just like a physical machine, except launched in a window from your desktop (or wherever you put the VM launcher). And yes, if you set it up correctly, it saves its state when it shuts down.
I use
virt-manager, which is just a GUI on top of KVM/qcow. Works really well. It’s available for pretty much every Linux distro.Thanks, I’ll look into it!
I mean, it’s perfectly sound advice. Don’t enable features you don’t understand. There are already plenty of features in Windows that would be privacy or security problems if you enable them without understanding what they do or how to use them.
Unfortunately, Microsoft will and is enabling these AI “features” by default. They pushed for a CoPilot key on laptops, so they really want you to use it
