Nice, I don't think I'll be able to convince the whole city to install it though :-)

India. Small correction, they don't shut it down for entire country, just the state ditricts the exams are happening in.

India still seems to be leading country doing shutdowns though.

Fair point. I don't think it's ready to become a default search engine as of now.

Will adaway remove the Copilot section? I think this a app feature/ native component. Ad blocking might not do much here.

Sorry, I couldn't think of the exact sublemmy this should go into. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Oh, I'm somewhat familiar. Our school computer lab when setup had all windows 95 machines and I later got a xp at home so I got to play with office 2000 and such.

Iirc it never was able to help me with something. I thought they put in a interactive mascot or something. Like a mini-game you can play with while typing a letter to your principal.

Copilot has been little helpful sometimes though when I want to generate images of things made out of jeans.

Thanks for the suggestion. What differences have you noticed compared to Google. Do you always find what you're looking for. Have you tried searching niche stuff like some really old painting or an obscure compiler error etc.

Weird that it gave me a link to franchise a taco joint when I searched for tacos near me.

You want tacos? Open a taco shop.

Yeah, that AI suggestion improved my mood a bit.

Yeah, likely they're using the same backend to provide voip services (maybe skype's backend just scaled up) . Teams must've borrowed something from skype given how haphazardly it was developed and released.

I mostly use it to make international calls cause sometimes the country my folks are living in shuts down the cellular internet for some reason when major exams/riots are happening and whatsapp stops working.

Imaging telling a whole nation of people they can't use internet on their 500+ dollar phone. The fuck did they buy them for, playing temple run?

 

Every app has to have fucking AI now for some reason.
