  2. THE END
    It's not in my region yet. I requested/suggested this feature to google multiple times. Can't wait for it.

    Yup jump ship... Oh wait, we're you ever on the ship in the first place?....serously every excuse is go to Linux. Let me tell you from some one that uses a good portion of Windows with enough dabbing in Linux and even a small dab in BSD, Linux has gotten better, but still has its fair share of issues. Its best use case still remains in servers and special use cases. BSD is good for server/firewall router level cases. Now Windows will remain the defacto OS for a majority of people and true multitasking with gaming its biggest strength. The AI features were innebible as the industry as a whole is moving that way. The good thing is this is not a forced feature or upgrade. Microsoft has been refocus Ed on security and privacy across the board now, and just like prior versions of Windows, the feature is available if the hardware is there. It is also not internet reliant as the feature requires the NPU as everything is onboard and not going through the net to special servers. Stating your going to Linux goes on deaf ears.

    You overthinking. They are requiring new hardware with AI neutral processing units to keep information secure and private by having the onboard NPU do the work. No internet required for the feature. You also get to choose what apps work with it. You read too far into it.

    Death from Static Electricity...?

    Tomoko replied to Gerowen's topic in Hardware Hangout

    I thought this post was going to be about being killed by a static shock. 😄 When a computer is plugged in the case and all exposed metallic parts would be grounded so I wouldn't have thought that just touching the case would ruin anything. It sounds just like what happened in this thread though, which turned out to be a bad power supply. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/static-shock-on-the-case-death-of-the-system.271887/

    PC players get everything the consoles have, this is a patch with fixes, not a remake. The consoles get a native version for the new hardware but this is something PC always had and could not newly gain. For actual improvements they would try to sell that to you, for example the Anniversary version of TESV. Considering how many existing bugs that weren't fixed, the version bump probably made the game worse for 70% of people due to mod compatibility issues.

    I couldn’t have been any clearer. Your original argument: ”You can get a much better laptop for the same price” You won’t be upgrading either of those to even the same amount of ram much less more at the prices listed. As I said you can upgrade the ram to 64gb or more on both laptops. I had both and bought a set of 2x32gb for $100 on FB marketplace, I put 32gb in each and they work with 8gb included in the origional sku for 40gb total each. still came out cheaper than this mini pc

    will it be able to remember what the taskbar icon was for before Virtual Desktops blanked it because of a year old bug?

    When is this suppose to happen? I just did the latest update on my Win 11 VM and the Win 10 taskbar is still alive and well.

    It all just seems like an awful amount of duplication of what we already have. Browser history/Email search/Recently opened documents/Photo Catalogs/ and Recently Played games on Steam etc. Just seems you slap the word AI on it and it's been rebranded. Like "Selling sand to the Arabs" as the saying goes ..........

    I think either Google does it on purpose or employees do it because Google isn't hiding the project very well.

    It's not regular customers they're aiming for, it has always been companies. You're basically just "collateral damage''. And, like it or not, this stuff is already used in a lot of places in the office. As if companies are going to use it... Companies are 10x less likely to use any AI stuff, or more likely to outright ban anything AI (except in Office apps). Companies can't afford random or unpredictable results or zero/AI accountability for any mistakes.

    Boiling in a pot is incremental yet the end result is not pleasant.

    I am sorry, you will no longer be able to "upgrade" Windows without a Microsoft approved NPU - Microsoft, the company who cares about climate change by not adding more tech to landfills* *May or may not be a future Microsoft statement.

    Sounds like creepy, next-level privacy violation. I can already imagine it being a gold mine for all the targetted adware we'll be seeing in windows. Good to know it won't be running on my NPU-lacking Surface Pro 7+, which I'll be keeping for the next decade...

    Haha, I'm patiently looking out for that day that's bound to hapen, just like the "bug" that was sending all your Edge browsing activity to Bing. Many who suspected as much will simply be told to take off their "tinfoil hat" or they're merely "conspiracy theorists", meanwhile it's history repeating itself...

    when are they going to combine A.I. with those programs that put nudie ladies dancing on your task bar ?
  32. mram
    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.
  35. xMorpheousx416
    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.
