    It’s going to be interesting when they finally kill all their AI integrations in windows. Microsoft similar to Google likes to build things and if it’s not an immediate success they kill it as fast as the can. Even faster than Google does.

    A pattern you will see with Microsoft is they will build something, let it languish, build the next version, let it languish and then kill it. They are hella slow to react to markets or update their products, especially hardware.

      Hard to kill something that never quite existed to begin with.

      I mean, I own a copilot laptop and the only real integration was them popping up a browser with a chatbot through a keyboard shortcut (and switching that back to being useful took one checkbox).

      I guess technically the auto captioning of audio is still there, which honestly is the best application for that sort of stuff. And I think you can still request some crappy image generation in some piece of software but I could honestly not tell you where that lives, if anywhere.

    I was really looking forward to Surface Duo 2 when they announced it, it looked so well. Then they released and I read the specs of that phone and decided that I’d pass. It was an overpriced phone with shitty specs.
