The hilarious thing about Microsoft going all in on AI with #CoPilot and #Recall, they threw Intel and AMD under the bus. The whole last year of "AI PCs" won't get features like Recall.
The consumer reaction to Recall has been overwhelmingly negative, but all these companies are afraid of shareholders and investors wanting more AI hype to make stock prices look good.
But #AMD and #Intel have all these chips made that are falling in price fast.
You can find some CRAZY deals on computers right now that WONT run Recall, but are over-kill powerful for home systems.
Mini PC's used to sell chips that were two or three years old. This Geekom is using AMD's current laptop chip, with 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage for $899!
It's a REAL good time to shop a NON Recall compatible PC.
🧵…dass nun die Probleme mit der Nutzung von der Suchmaschiene #Bing weitläufig ist hatte ich oben schon erwähnt, sogar ein Teil von populären #KI ist es ebenfalls:
»Microsoft – Bing-Probleme reißen #Copilot, #Duckduckgo und #ChatGPT-Suche in den Abgrund:
Seit Stunden sind all diese Dienste nicht erreichbar. #Microsofts eigene #Suchmaschine funktioniert wieder, jene, die sie indirekt verwenden, haben aber ein Problem«
The newest most powerful chips from Intel and AMD don't qualify for Microsoft's newest CoPilot+ AI branding. We're already seeing INCREDIBLE deals on crazy powerful PCs, because of all the AI hype! Here's my review of the Geekom A8, with a BEAST of an AMD chip inside! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45e
I've used their operating systems for more than 30 years. And I've used their development tools and databases for more than 25 years.
I haven't been enamored with them since they went all out with Azure. I've found no value in any of the Azure offerings. In fact, they've made my professional life much more difficult. Now they're cramming AI and CoPilot in, up, and down every one of our orifices. I don't want any of it.
It's become difficult to think of them as a technology leader. There's very little coming from MS that feels innovative or that makes life better for me or my customers. The persistent feeling I get is that they're looking for every angle they can find to monetize their relationship with me and other customers and end users.
It took me several years to fully divorce myself from Google.
It's looking more and more like a divorce from Microsoft is imminent.
Best comment I've read today on Ars Technica by user Resolute:
"When we talk about the risks of Microsoft's Recall feature, it's not Microsoft that I worry about. It is the fact that OpenAI is a major partner that gives me pause.
This company is rapidly approaching Facebook levels of evil."
Bing’s API is down, taking Microsoft Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT’s web search feature down too
"In this particular case, it’s interesting to see the increasingly important role of Bing’s API. While Google still dominates when it comes to web search, many services are now reliant on Bing’s API."
Relying on one company doesn't seem like a smart idea.
"A global outage is affecting a variety of Microsoft services, including its Bing search engine and Copilot AI tool.
Users turned to social media on Thursday to complain about the outage, which is also impacting third parties, including the search engine DuckDuckGo, which relies on Microsoft’s infrastructure."

This tiny PC is now packing the most powerful laptop chip AMD makes!
Funnily enough, Microsoft threw AMD and Intel under the bus.
NONE of the current selling "AI" PCs qualify for the "CoPilot" branding.
Who knows, maybe you don't want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway?
"Inside Microsoft’s mission to take down the MacBook Air"
The not-yet-for-sale Windows "Copilot Plus PCs" are beating M3 MacBook Air (slightly) in Microsoft's home field testing (battery life and benchmark performance)
When will these machines be available?
How will their costs compare to the M3 MacBook Air?
Will Apple release the M4 MBA by then? If so, will the CoPilot PCs still win?
JFC now you need to use a browser Microsoft approves of in your operating system to be able to disable its on-by-default continual surveillance of your every action while using it 👀

Je note juste le lien vers cet article pour une information précise : Même si l'IA de Microsoft - CoPilot - tourne localement sur votre ordinateur, elle communique quand même avec les serveurs de Microsoft pour s'assurer que la demande faite à l'IA est "safe".
Ce qui confirme bien qu'on peut se torcher avec les promesses de Microsoft sur le fait que l'IA sera totalement locale et qu'elle respectera notre vie privée. https://stratechery.com/2024/windows-returns/
