    This is like a vet telling me they accidentally removed a life threatening tumor in my dog while doing something else.

    Like damn not sure how you did that by accident but wait what don’t try to do put it back what the hell?

      Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.

      Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.

      He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don’t even know how they managed to do that, I don’t do that and I don’t have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.

      To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their “service” was unwarranted and unwelcome.

    Too late. I already jumped ship because of Copilot’s “Recall”, and I’m not interested in going through a round of partitioning the hard drive and installing a new OS so soon.

        I’d prefer AI cores, just like I prefer HW based AES instructions: present and up to my discretion as to how I choose to use them, or not.

          If it’s a choice between AI-accelerated cores and nothing, sure, but that silicon space could have been used for AVX-512 or a bigger cache instead.

    That’s a feature Microsoft. Start removing more crap and you might have an actual OS and not just a complicated slow overpriced billboard.

    Remember to pay respects to the poor Roblox players that have to suffer for the greater good now!

    Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

    Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?
