No interest in Windows at all, but Copilot is actually a great name for what the product is supposed to be/being marketed as. Windows Intelligence sounds like a return to the very old-school long-winded style of Microsoft branding.

This is really well written. I absolutely love the line:

Their flock grew ever more numerous, collecting like claw marks on a cell door.

Not worth giving them the traffic.

It’s the fucking Daily Mail, and should be completely avoided anyway.

Yeah I get that, and that’ll be because of the long term financial benefits of enticing the companies there. But still…€13bn is a mad figure.

It sounds so bizarre that Ireland has been fighting in court to avoid having to receive €13bn from Apple.

My comment was satirical

This job sounds like it could be replaced by AI

If you replace a word with its synonym, will it still have the same meaning

Wait, there are 20,000 ISPs!?

Completely agree, this is garbage, and I’ve bitched about it in the past. Annoyingly, both the Gmail and Outlook widgets are far better, but I don’t want either of those on my phone.

I never even realised they were owned by Sony. I’m sure I remember them saying they left Microsoft to have greater control internally. Seems mad to go for more of the same.

Did they try redeeming it up to 15 times?

This is exactly why, and as simple as it is, it’s brilliant passive marketing. It stealthily implants an association to Apple Intelligence into every product and article that mentions AI, and might even require the author to distinguish their meaning when they use the acronym. They’ve Sherlock’d AI.

If it was serious they didn’t mean it, and if they did it was a parody, and if it was we didn’t understand it, and if we did it wasn’t funny, but thank fuck mean orange man gone.

Make that 10.

How would this be possible? How would an individual employed by a company withhold tax from their wages, if they’re paid net? Surely it would need 100,000 self-employed or businesses themselves to withhold tax from HMRC?

Which led to some amazing protests.

Weirdly, watching facesitting porn in the UK is perfectly fine, as long as it wasn’t filmed in the UK.

I can just imagine trying to defend that in court. “Your honour, it’s clear to me that the muffled moans of the face-sittee are those of a Frenchman”

No they’re not, no they don’t.
