The only Windows update I’m gonna be happy to install asap
Don’t get too excited. They’re just doing it so it doesn’t get in the way of the Ai they’ll be putting on there.

They are preparing to shovel chatgpt with a new name called copilot. Will soon be on every machine running windows 11.
That would be a pretty stupid thing to call it, since they already have a product called copilot which is a coding assist tool powered by chat gpt.
The new tool will be called bing copilot. And GitHub Copilot doesn’t really appear to be powered by ChatGPT since it came out of preview last year.
They have an upcoming tool called GitHub Copilot X which is powered by ChatGPT so you can ask it questions and all that.
Imo it’s not the stupidest name since it will tie the two products together.
Cortana was cooler even though I have and couldn’t ever try it.
P.S. the X in GitHub Copilot X is fortunately a placeholder.
Copilot uses codex, it’s another OpenAI model but you can generally consider chatgpt to be a superset of that
Now that games run so well on Linux I have pretty much shut down windows in it’s entirety from my life. It has been a long time coming and it feels great!
I keep a Windows partition around for special cases but I have not had to use it in a long time. Starfeild will probably force me into it for the first time in a long time. The whole Windows experience is insulting to anyone with any self respect. It has not always been this way.
Even for non-gamers, the magic dust that keeps many Windows games usable on Linux can also be used for non-game Windows apps and everyone can benefit from those compatibility leaps and bounds.
If you’re one of those people who like Linux but still need to have a Windows install to run That One App for work or whatever, WINE/Proton/etc. may be of use to you.
Wine is rarely of much use to anyone.
Are there still games that just don’t run on linux? I messed around with it like 6 years ago but didn’t dig too deep, because my main 3 games were the ones that didn’t run on linux.
Destiny 2 comes to mind. Bungie has indicated there’s 0 interest in making it compatible with Linux ever.
Usually if it can’t run on Linux it’s because of kernel level anti-cheat. The vast majority of Steam’s library works out of the box with Proton nowadays.
Roblox doesn’t run on Linux at the moment because the devs have blocked proton and wine. Which, well, pisses me off because I want to put Linux on my daughter’s PC.
Yes, usually games with anti cheat, like Destiny 2. Although it’s way better nowadays, mostly thanks to Valve.
same here, started using endeavourOS 2 weeks back and haven’t looked been. I still need Windows for games with anti cheat like honkai star rail, etc but ever since using Linux as daily driver after years of twiddling my thumbs feels really great and refreshing

Don’t get your hopes up.
Microsoft is now working on Windows Copilot, a new sidebar for Windows 11 that is powered by Bing Chat and can control Windows settings, answer questions, and lots more.
They’re already working on a successor.
I can’t wait to ask my copilot to change my screen brightness setting only to have it hallucinate a request to share all of my porn with my mother via email.

And this one collects even more data from all your Windows usage patterns.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A new update is rolling out for Cortana that simply disables the digital assistant three years after Microsoft also discontinued its Cortana apps for iOS and Android.
If you attempt to launch Cortana on Windows 11 you’ll now be met with a notice about how the app is deprecated and a link to a support article on the change.
It was deeply integrated into the Windows 10 taskbar, with support for voice commands, reminders, and the ability to open applications.
Microsoft then dropped Cortana from the Windows 11 taskbar and first boot experience, but kept the standalone app until this week.
Ultimately, Cortana struggled to compete with rivals like Alexa or Google Assistant, despite a large redesign for iOS and Android.
The fate of Cortana was largely linked to Microsoft’s failures with Windows Phone, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella admitted in 2019 that Cortana had fallen behind competitors.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Dig a shallow grave next to Windows Phone, Zune, and IE. C’mon guys, you need to catch up to the size of Google’s graveyard.
RIP Zune. I still have both of mine in my office and they were actually awesome to use.
Do they still work? I hear the collector’s market is kinda hot.
You might be the only person I’ve ever heard of who owned a zune that didn’t get stolen. I still miss mine.
I still have a Lumia 930 in my drawer with WP 8.1. It was such a wonderful OS to use in look and feel. Had Cortana (alpha) on it too.
Man I’m so out of the loop, I had no idea what Cortana was and thought Windows was finally shutting down all instances of Encarta. (It looks like Encarta did live until around 2008, which does surprise me)
They fail at every attempt to innovate
That’s not true! In the 90s the Sidewinder input devices were sometimes really good! The strategic commander never happened, and I definitely didn’t buy it, stop asking!
But the FF joysticks and the gamepad were really good.
Hahaha holy cow. My dad had a sidewinder joystick. It was called a thrust master or something. Nostalgia.
They made the best wireless mouse I’ve ever owned under that naming moniker. The SideWinder X8. Big and heavy, which I love. Magnetic charging cable you could use while still using the mouse.
Have you heard of azure?
There was already an entire cloud market when azure appeared . They just followed the wave . If you are going to give cloud as an example talk me about Oracle or VMware .
Master Chief isn’t going to like this…
Now kill Cortana in Halo 7
They just killed Halo instead.
Did Cortana consent to this? Maybe she’ll find her way back on her own…
Waited until after WAN Show.
Pussies.
Microsoft’s “Edge” was Project Spartan at one point wasn’t it? Probably would have confused a lot of people if it came out that way but would’ve been pretty cool.
