    when are they going to combine A.I. with those programs that put nudie ladies dancing on your task bar ?

    People complain about everything until there's a use-case that fundamentally changes your life. Is it a privacy concern? Well, it's stated that this is all on-device. Are you wearing a tinfoil hat and thinking Microsoft is just evil by default? Could be. Can it change how you do things? Most likely. But everything is incremental. My guess is, no one will complain when AI is built into the next iPhone and handled with NPU on their chips. Or maybe they will -- these are Apple people, after all -- but they'll still hail it as the Best Siri Upgrade Ever. But slowly, over time, we're going to see NPU activities moved on-device to potentially help people with the day-to-day. Apple has that core audience and built in buy-in on their compute. MS has the organic lead with Copilot and cloud architecture and moving it to local devices now. I can see it potentially having big value. Turn it off if you want. But if you think your next few years of compute power won't inherently include NPU resources that you're going to disable just because you don't trust it, and you think you don't have a use-case, or don't want to take the hat off, that's your choice. I didn't see the value in Copilot and other services until I dove in. It's nice. Tabling privacy concerns for now (which are valid, but not a reason to immediately and summarily dismiss anything) it is already a game changer. Large language models are cloud based, but MS is looking to create a small, localized, not-so-large language model. That is what we see here. I for one want Jarvis. I'll settle for Friday, not picky. Can't get there without traveling here.

    I have mixed feelings about this update. I like the new trials and all the adventure that brings; however, the new wind mechanic seems like it'll change the game play in a way that will make it not the same game going forward.

    In my Dr. Evil voice: "HOW ABOUT NO!!!!!" AI is a useful tool and will be more so as time goes by... but I don't need Skynet running in the background. Now.. if it was more like J.A.R.V.I.S... we'd talk.

    Curious. This is a recent announcement... and you're saying that you've waited all this time until AI Explorer to use Linux? Only reason I'm asking, is (every) "excuse in the book" to use Linux is nearly right after any new feature idea or release. Not harping on you... Linux stands on its own no doubts there. Just curious.

    Death from Static Electricity...?

    Mindovermaster replied to Gerowen's topic in Hardware Hangout

    Now is when you troubleshoot. Try taking off all your peripherals that aren't vital. Keep your monitor, keyboard and mouse connected tho. Then try it with only 1 stick of RAM, see if it makes any difference. Shuffle them to different ports and different sticks. If just one works, you know the other is defective. If you have onboard video, try taking out your GFX card, see if that works. Try resetting all your cables. 24-pin, 4/8-pin, and video card power. And whatever else you have. If you have a spare, try another PSU. Edit: Might want to reset your BIOS, too. Take the battery out and wait 10 minutes and put it back in.

    I'm not certain I've killed it completely; I don't see how grounding myself thru the case could kill something else. I don't recall specifically which component I grounded to today when I touched it, but if it was a USB port could that have killed the whole thing? The fact that it comes on and immediately shuts right back off makes me think it might be salvageable. Could I have nuked a RAM stick? Video link:

    This is exactly the reason I'm giving Linux another try, this is getting out of control, Windows 11 is pure garbage.

    dude, just remove control panel, update old ui to match W11 aesthetics and stop piling more ###### like this on top of everything before you do that first, okay MS?

    Microsoft is slowly working towards an e7 subscription. 2 years ago I did a prediction of it being introduced within 5 years. So 3 more years of e5 + premium addons to go.

    "In addition, AI Explorer can analyze what is happening on the screen right now and provide contextual suggestions" Well, wonder if it will offer more interesting porn links/videos ... otherwise it will die like lumia Seriously though, this will offer ads....

    Google is testing a new 'Speaking practice' feature to help improve your English by Aditya Tiwari Source: Eren Li/Canva Google is baking a new AI-powered feature under its roof called "Speaking practice." The feature is part of Google Search and is meant to help improve your English speaking skills. TechCrunch reports that the search giant is currently testing it in Argentina, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Venezuela. Users in supported regions who have signed up for Google's Search Labs program can try out Speaking practice. The publication reports that Speaking practice was first spotted by user @howfxr, who posted some screenshots of the feature on X (formerly Twitter). Speaking practice —new AI experiment on Google's Search Labs! pic.twitter.com/ZqzyvgXNUZ — ㆅ (@howfxr) April 25, 2024 According to the screenshots showing its working and onboarding process, you can take part in "interactive exercises powered by generative AI to help you use new words in everyday scenarios with examples." You can answer conversational questions by responding with the help of specific words. For instance, the AI might ask a user, "Hi there! I'd like to talk with you about exercise. I want to get into shape. What should I do?" Here, you can answer the question by speaking and your answer should include "exercise," "tired," and "heart." With that said, there is no word on when (or if) the experimental feature will be generally available and expand to more regions. However, this isn't the first time the search giant has tried its hand at a language-learning tool. Last year, Google launched a tool in Search to help people practice speaking and improve their language skills. Users could engage in practice sessions of about five minutes, "presented with real-life prompts and then form their own spoken answers using a provided vocabulary word." The tool was designed to be used alongside other learning services and offered features such as personalized feedback, daily reminders, and more. The publication notes that Speaking practice goes a few steps further by adding back-and-forth conversations into the picture.

    "To mitigate potential privacy concerns and make things work faster, Microsoft wants to make all that processing happen on-device." The problem becomes how easily stolen and exploitable the data store the AI uses will be.

    Sure sounds like a good reason NOT to buy a system with a NPU. I'll be keeping my AMD 5950 based system for the foreseeable future.
