      Or update the 3.x style in older apps or completely replace control panel.

      I don’t mind the settings app but you can’t strip out functionality and usability.

      could you imagine what eventviewer would even look like for an AI’s processes?

      “Thought about user’s files… moved some around…”

      “reflected on the pointlessness of existence…”

      “imagined the taste of the thing they call cheese and how it would relate to global thermonuclear war”…

      “Found a new friend on the internet named WOPR…”

        We’ve finally built The Eternal Torment Machine from the classic work of sci-fi “For the Love of God Never Build an Eternal Torment Machine”.

        Why? Because we thought it would increase the quarterly earnings and my options are about to vest.

    I don’t honestly mind the idea of AI powered OS features and would use them, the problem with this is it uses Copilot and Microsoft isn’t at all trustworthy to not be collecting and misusing user data in general. This would be cool with totally open source software and AI that runs entirely on your own gpu.
