  • We laugh at Google being deadly behind with Gemini but is there a place that has fumbled it like Microsoft? I guess Apple comes close, but with them you get the feeling they were never in it to begin with.

  • I know what an NPU is, but never understood what features having one in a laptop unlocked for me.

  • Did they remove the Copilot button from the keyboard? It is one of the most annoying things. Accidentally pressing the button opens the Copilot window which you then have to manually close. There is no way to configure the button to do nothing. Not without installing apps just for that purpose. So annoying.

  • The sad part of this is that all those powerful NPUs are basically paperweight.

    35-50 low power TOPS taking 1/5 of the die area and not being used by anyone...

  • For something to be considered dead, it must have been alive in the first place, which was never the case with the Copilot PC brand.

  • When people say they use copilot, I no longer have any idea which copilot they're talking about. Most of the time, neither do they.

  • I use Linux so I didn't care about copilot stuff. But recently at work I got dell workstation. It costs around 5k usd. The specs are great. But it has single Ctrl key on the left side, copilot button took its place. I can't jump between words with one hand, I have to press Ctrl with my left hand, and use arrow keys with right hand. This single choice made the machine piece crap

  • This is the first time a corporation has spoiled a word for me.

    "Copilot" is a term like any other and when I first heard the name, I thought it was an alright, if uninspired, choice.

    Now I can't hear the word "Copilot" used in any context without having negative feelings due to Microsoft's saturation campaign.

    Speaking of this, I also wonder about present and future people named "Claude", a mainstream name in some parts of the world.
