I hope every SWE looks at this and remembers how not to conduct oneself.
I doubt it's the engineers who are demanding that this atrocity exist.
The issue is that people who find an issue with it and don't want to do it will get told off by management. Then management just replaces them with someone who is willing to do it (for job safety, or simply because they don't care)
Thats just how big tech is
And it's why I, as a self-respecting SWE, refuse to apply to big tech jobs. Yeah, I could get paid a lot more, but it's not worth it for the work culture. My current org seems to respect my opinions and values, and that's worth a lot more than money.
As much as I would love this to kick MS in the backside, it won’t. The public at large has no idea what this is or why it’s bad and evil. They will buy a computer, it will come with Windows, and they’ll use it like they always have. Companies and Govts will gripe initially, but give in because their ancient VB enterprise apps only run on Windows.
What's an alternative to explorer?
Unfortunately, just switch to Linux is not an option.
What do you have against Linux?
As much as I love it, it just doesn't work for some people or situations.
Might be a stupid question but this requires a NPU right? I told some fellas about it and there response was something like does not matter because they have older hardware so it can't run anyway. So what happens to win 11 PCs with no NPU?
So, iirc, recall was a copilot+ PC "feature". Will this recall integration be the case on "normal" x86 PCs as well?
I moved all my personal stuff over to linux ~~Windows~~ about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately, there's still a few things in my life that requires windows...
Edit: I can't type, apparently
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
