Microsoft isn't a product or service. Nextcloud is. They either replaced Microsoft with Atos, or they replaced Office365 with Nextcloud.
why not both?

Once they have paved the way and built the infrastructure, most fridges will come with some sort of display. Probably just a small status display. But these fridges will be much cheaper, subsidized by the Ad opportunities. It happened with most mainstream TVs making people expect cheap TVs to the point where they will dismiss a TV with "normal" price.

Writing a good pdf writer is easy. Writing a good pdf reader is extremely difficult.

This should have been a python script.
How much of the current peak of the Gartner Hype Cycle should just be python scripts?

Well, this sounds terrible. Asking the AI "what was the site where i saw a walnut desk" would mean that enough data has to be stored (locally but how long until there is a pro version where it stored and processed centrally). Isn't that data storage a security nightmare?

Absolutely astounding to me, having watched security culture evolve from "this will never happen", though "don't do that", to the modern world of multi-mode threat analysis and defense in depth...
...to see it all thrown in the trash as we're now exhorted, literally, to merely ask our software nicely not to have bugs.
Yes, the vast amount of effort, time and money spent on making the world secure things and checking that those things are secured now being dismissed because people can't understand that maybe LLMs shouldn't be used for absolutely everything.

For people mentioning the need for translations, clicking the button, regardless of label or not will usually show... text. that needs translations. only one more word for a label.

I recently had to resume using Windows extensively after a long hiatus, and the regressions I had already noticed in occasional use remain an infuriating PITA every damned day. It's not a matter of adjustment to something different. It's a matter of incompetent UI.
The elimination of the standard menu bar in one application after another is a huge one. Look at Edge: I wanted to save a PDF I was viewing. Fat chance.
There's no menu. In the toolbar past the URL box there's a jagged Pac-Man that I guess is supposed to be yet another "gear" icon. Then there's a star with lines in it for "favorites" and then your own avatar and then three dots with a tiny upward pink arrow overlapping part of one of them.
In the upper-left corner of the window there are more boxy icons... let's see what those are... "Workspaces" and "Tab actions menu."
So is "save file" under Gear-Man, the three dots, or somewhere else?
And BTW, WHAT APPLICATION IS THIS? You have no idea which window belongs to which one, because the title bars are missing.
What a truly incredible, pathetic mess. The Mac's single menu bar is a UI blunder, but NO menu bar is monumentally stupid.
Thank you for putting in words what has been subconsciously annoying me about modernized windows applications. It seems like they are consistently worse with no recognizable improvements.
Who is to blame? Is it the UI people wanting a "clean" look or is it misguided UX people?
These apps look gimmicky but they are growing like crazy. CalAI, for example, is making 35M+/yr. I’m hoping that some people really find value in these apps and that they are not just a pure marketing driven play.
This makes me sad. Yes a fool and their money are soon parted but this drives user expectations for apps even lower, pushing competent apps out of the market because of the price difference.
