The most egregious thing in recent iterations of Win11 is that a fresh installation will basically map all of your home folder to OneDrive. My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, etc. A recent Windows update also told me that I need OneDrive now to back up my files. Yup, apparently you really, really need it.

Now Windows 11 also pops up a scary security notification saying Windows Security found a problem, then when you click on it it tells you that you're not using OneDrive and you should turn that on immediately.

One day you wake up, and find that you now need to negotiate with your toaster. Flatter it maybe. Lie to it about the urgency of your task to overcome some new emotional inertia that it has suddenly developed.

Only toast can save us now, you yell into the toaster, just to get on with your day. You complain about this odd new state of things to your coworkers and peers, who like yourself are in fact expert toaster-engineers. This is fine they say, this is good.

Toasters need not reliably make toast, they say with a chuckle, it's very old fashioned to think this way. Your new toaster is a good toaster, not some badly misbehaving mechanism. A good, fine, completely normal toaster. Pay it compliments, they say, ask it nicely. Just explain in simple terms why you deserve to have toast, and if from time to time you still don't get any, then where's the harm in this? It's really much better than it was before

Does anyone want any toast? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRq_SAuQDec

Having a fluent conversation with a "super smart" ai is no good to me when it's constantly gaslighting me and making stuff up.

ChatGPT is so verbose, it just spews out pages of useless babble. I'm not reading all that.

It's kind of curious that any topic on HN that involves China seems to devolve into how terrible and bad America is.

So writers / publications should change their writing style because LLMs have adopted it?

Yes, I had to give up my cherished em-dashes.

You have to opt in to Recall. You must have a “Copilot+ PC” which has an “NPU”. The snapshots are stored and processed locally.

I have one of those PCs, but I have Linux running on it. Can I use the NPU for anything useful? It seems not at the moment (am using AMD)

Hey, I really like it. I lived on a canal boat for a few years, the map looks familiar. Except the tsunamis which I couldn't get past. Maybe some sharks and crocodiles would add some adventure. Sent this to my family who are living on a boat now.
