You know you can just uninstall a Microsoft 365 co-pilot. The normal Microsoft 365 apps like Word and Outlook will still work and still be installed on your computer.

Until Microsoft want number go up so app reinstall.

Didn't Teams move away from being an electron app a little while ago?

You're correct, it did... to "Edge WebView2".

Aka, basically Microsoft's in-house version of election. A change, certainly. Just not really an improvement.

iirc, they changed to using the edge webview thing, which uses the remains of EdgeHTML, which is probably faster than electron.

Does it even matter if it's still hot garbage?

It does matter if the statement is “[This is] reskinned chrome.”

Is Electron the only framework built thereupon?

To me, it mattered quite a lot when WhatsApp dropped Electron. I can now keep it running all the time without feeling bad for my PC, even if just for rare times when I actually need it. I still think it's a hot garbage though.

53% of the CPU to the AI NOONE asked for.

What are they doing. It's not even local AI. The cloud is doing all the heavy lifting.

What do you know about heavy lifting? User would never use a non-slick interface without cOoL animations. Those thousands of CSS layers won't render themselves.
