Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol
If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you're in a game?
Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!
How exactly do you think your privacy is being eroded? It's all on-device and you have privacy settings to control what MS can learn from.
"MS" don't have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.
AI can already interact with third party products.
I never switched it off and never had problems in any content. Weird 😊
It'd be not the wisest move to toggle it while in a game. And maybe I'd need two seconds, possibly even three or four. A worthy price for privacy in my book
Nonsense. I said from the beginning there are niche-usecases. Those don't invalidate all arguments per se
And here's where you're seriously wrong. It might be local only for simple things like file-search (doesn't mean your voice-data isn't sent for "performance and quality assurance" reasons). Most stuff is or will, obviously, be cloud-based. They wouldn't put billions into that just so that regular Joe from accounting can open office faster. They do it for profit
Yeah sure. Some features are local only. IF you have a compatible NPU in your machine. If not then it'll be cloud too. The data on what is local only is freely accessible.
Some ai with some 3rd party products. Surely never all with everything. Also we're talking about copilot only.
SDR content looking bad when HDR is enabled, especially just the desktop and basic OS, has been a thing for years on windows. Guessing you either didn’t actually have a real HDR monitor, or just didn’t realise it shouldn’t look like what it did.
Cloud-based use of AI doesn’t mean that they use your data for training or anything either - if you’d spent even 2 minutes looking at copilot in Windows you’d know this. On device or in cloud, you have privacy settings that control it.
Yeah, me being technologically challenged is probably it. Dude, I retired around 25 because of tech. Besides, if you ever toggled HDR while having 5 monitors attached, you'd think hard if it would be REALLY needed right now 😁
Sorry, I just don't have that level of naiveté. A US-company pumping billions into AI and not use our data for anything? That is why they already gather that much, even without LLMs? Half of my firewall-rules are for MS, so little do they phone home 😁
But at least only one windows machine will be problematic, my others are win-server, they won't get this crap. So no worries for me anyway.
