because I disabled copilot on my windows laptop last month and when it got the KB5040427 update yesterday I didn't notice any difference. As of right now, copilot is still disabled and the update is installed.

If you wanna get rid of it, here's some user-friendly instructions. Obviously only mess with this if you know what you're doing, regedit and system group policies can be fucky.

"Oh it's only going to be on new systems with AI accelerator hardware"
They proceed to deploy it to not just Windows 11 but all fuckin' Windows 10 systems because they know people that don't want it aren't gonna upgrade to 11 if they can avoid it.

i really need to figure out my streaming stuff on linux. was planning to jump ship for most stuff by 2025 (so I can beat the EOL for it) but 1) I'm behind schedule on that 2) they sure are making it worse more quickly!

wish i could help besides saying that i've definitely seen a few other ppl working on the same thing, so you might at least bc able to share information with them

🤞mostly just need to spend a weekend figuring out how to do a voicemeeter-like setup with one of various linux audio tools, but will def dig around for advice if I get around to it

EasyEffects should be available through your package manager (apt, dnf, etc.). Thanks to the switch to Pipewire, it's making it easier to manage audio like this on linux.

Earlier builds of the AI app refused to work if the toolbar wasn’t placed at the bottom of the screen.

Lol

Copilot also doesn’t require many PC resources, with the app just needing 4 GB of RAM

Lmao even

Group Policy is the saviour here. Settings configured via Group Policy are sacrosanct and Microsoft will not under any circumstance fuck with them as that would ultimately defeat the purpose of Group Policy. When configured appropriately Local Group Policy settings can make a Windows 11 install bearable and keep it that way.

thanks for sharing this! I was just able to edit my registry to turn copilot off!

curious quail @curiousquail7/22/2024, 2:20 AM

yo right on, glad to have helped.
As others have said - I recommend using the group policy method as well if you feel comfortable doing that; it's far less likely to break with further updates

I don't have a pro license! I guess I could buy one? That's a solid tip!
