  1. Past hour
  2. 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.
  3. Boiling in a pot is incremental yet the end result is not pleasant.
  4. 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.
  5. 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...

  7. Haha, I'm patiently looking out for that day that's bound to hapen. 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...
  8. Today
  9. when are they going to combine A.I. with those programs that put nudie ladies dancing on your task bar ?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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...?

    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.
  15. the ai explorer wont work fast if your cpu doesnt have npu....
  16. 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:

The user can still choose to proceed by selecting "Keep" on the downloaded item's "..." menu. Admins can also use the InsecureContentAllowedForUrls policy to specify HTTP sites where the warning will be suppressed. The warning's enablement in Edge 124 was accidental.

  18. This is exactly the reason I'm giving Linux another try, this is getting out of control, Windows 11 is pure garbage.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
