Microsoft wants you to ditch your old OS so you can try its new one stuffed with overbearing, if not invasive, AI features.

      I couldn’t think of one single scenario where this might be remotely handy.

      I literally gave you one - HDR toggling. You disregarded it because you didn’t want there to be any reasons.

      Here’s another - you could ask copilot to check your emails for an invite to a party that you are expecting, add the party to your calendar, create an item on your to-do list to get a present, and forward the invite to your partner.

      How’s that? Is that not something that could be useful?

          Why should i toggle hdr off?

          Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol

          Takes a second to do with a mouse or keyboard

          If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you’re in a game?

          As to the other example: Sure, useful.

          Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!

          To people who just don’t care about privacy

          How exactly do you think your privacy is being eroded? It’s all on-device and you have privacy settings to control what MS can learn from.

          As MS should not have access to my mails, my calender or my to-do-list

          “MS” don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

          Try that shit with non-ms-products and it becomes just a waste of time.

          AI can already interact with third party products.

              SDR content looking bad when HDR is enabled, especially just the desktop and basic OS, has been a thing for years on windows. Guessing you either didn’t actually have a real HDR monitor, or just didn’t realise it shouldn’t look like what it did.

              Cloud-based use of AI doesn’t mean that they use your data for training or anything either - if you’d spent even 2 minutes looking at copilot in Windows you’d know this. On device or in cloud, you have privacy settings that control it.
