I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.
I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
I just right-click on copilot on the taskbar and remove, same with the startmenu. Im not uninstalling it in case someone suddenly "needs" it to save me some trouble plus its just a few clicks this way.
try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can't imagine it's gotten any better on 11l
Co-pilot slowed down my work machine to near unusable, and they make it pretty hard to get rid of. I'm not anti-AI at all and I hate co-pilot because of how it was deployed. Windows in general got in the habit of hiding options from users and installing things like security that bogs down the computer more than helps but can't be easily turned off.
It's exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It's a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23.
If you don't recognise what the f23 key is, that's because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts.
Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn't work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you're essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.
And that's why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these "Copilot+ PCs" with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.
Neither vim nor neovim are safe! (I hear emacs is fine, but who really knows all the people that provided contributions to the pile of elisp they call their emacs.)
I get to participate in a project to see how well-adopted AI tools are in our company... with the intent to see where we should invest in more promotion and schooling in how useful and valuable they can be.
Didn't have the heart to tell the manager requesting my assistance that I'm also one of the non-adopters and no amount of promotion or schooling offer is likely to change that. They're lower management anyway, can't change the decisions made higher up, and I'm not gonna pick fights and sour working relations where there's nothing to win.
My company forces me to use it. It’s shit. I asked for Claude. And this is what they give me. It can’t even parse the file I send it. It forgets I uploaded the file after about 16 seconds and asks for me to upload it again. It’s amazing how bad it is.
My company pushes it too. It's useful for some things, but you really have to be aware of its limitations. The same is true of Claude of course, but I have less problems letting Claude touch my code. The free GPT models work better as an interactive rubber duck or an interactive encyclopedia.
My work pushes it on us heavily. I TRY to use it. It’s just so terrible. Any other AI is way more functional and provides better responses. I do IT work. Maybe other fields have a better response to copilot?
my colleague uses chat gpt to run statistical reports. i don't verify if the data outputted is correct, but i'm going to assume that everything he produces from now on is factually incorrect.
