Noticed this while I was going through bank statement .pdfs on my computer. What would Co-Pilot even do with those????

At least Co-Pilot turned out to be easy to uninstall. This was a real sneaky move though, since it's not like it showed up after a Windows update, instead it just silently installed itself on my fucking computer. Also, just the sheer fucking gall to make it the first option when you right click on anything

I foolishly assumed Microsoft wouldn't bother pushing AI as hard onto Win10 since they're dumping it soon. At first I panicked and thought this was Recall, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming next

I haven't touched Windows in years and every time I take a peek at the current state of Windows I'm horrified and ask myself "How do people put up with this?".

i've gone back and forth over the years.. i typically dual boot but the one main reason for using windows is for the games.

I know you can do WINE and Lutris and all that, but that doesn't work so well for pirated shit. At one point I tried to do a full GPU passthrough to a windows VM on linux and I got so close to getting it to work where it would take over the GPU when Windows booted and then give it back to linux when the vm shut down, but ultimately failed and that just kinda killed the whole thing for me

Why not?

Well, my experience has only been with fit-girl (Victoria 3 and F:NV primarily). Yeeting them into Lutris works without problems (as far as I can tell, haven't played them on win).

To be fair I haven't tried in a couple of years but the last time I did a lot of the games would crash because of missing files or registry stuff. Also my DS controller never works.
