Copilot+ PCs have specific hardware requirements beyond the ones necessary to run Windows 11. The most significant is the requirement for a neural processing unit (NPU) that can process more than 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS).

So in other words, copilot will be a huge enormous waste of electricity as it's continuously training some shitty AI. Gottit.

In 2005 Windows was like 95% of the desktop/laptop market. Today it's 70-75%. Since then mobile phones usurped a lot of functionality that used to require a desktop/laptop. Windows dependency is going to keep trending down both in just desktop/laptop or including mobile devices

Install Linux already, be done with this windows nonsense

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 6 points 58 minutes ago

I agree. But people also need to be ready for some of the Linux bullshit brings. I've switched recently and it's never 100% smooth sailing. But at least no tracking and proprietary bullshit.

every linux user: Oh no...well anyway

[–] kalipixel@reddthat.com 8 points 1 hour ago

It is good to use linux. But this has an impact on everyone to some degree. You may use Linux, but does your family, friends, your doctor, your teacher or boss, and whoever else who has some of your personal data?

One has to wonder if Recall just isn't as profitable as they had hoped.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

No individual aspect is profitable here it i about data collection and depth of service.

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Collection of personal data is arguably worth money to them though, for advertising and whatever else they're doing.
