So why is Microsoft insisting on pushing out a feature it is very clear users just do not want? What is the point of it? It just does not make any sense. Recall makes no sense. It is one of rather many functions that Microsoft wants to force people into using.

Personally I also do not want Copilot on my computer and the idea that there can be a key on my keyboard that I can press that will enable by mistake it is not what I would think most people want.

I believe that there should be a very clear line between what is on your computer and what is in the cloud. Forcing people to log into a Microsoft online account to use their computer is crazy. Having people mistakenly enabling OneDrive is another disaster.

I guess this is all a great opportunity for Linux.

Obviously all the Cool Kidz use second hand ThinkPads running Linux.

I'm after a cheap daily driver having always been in Mac (well also Asahi and the server this Social Media Conglomerate runs on).

Any tips or models to look out for? Ideally I want something less than £200. Well I say ideally, I can barely afford £200!

Anyway, help/advice appreciated.

Shortly after the aquisition of #Komoot by Italian #PrivateEquity firm #BendingSpoons about 80% of its staff has already been fired.

🇺🇸 👇 I suppose the prospect of US factories with hundreds of people using tiny screwdrivers was too much for MAGA Americans...?

"The U.S. CBP listed 20 product categories, including the very broad 8471 code for all computers, laptops, disc drives and automatic data processing. It also included semiconductor devices, equipment, memory chips and flat panel displays."

Ahem: No mention of reason why. 🙄

New keyboard week.
This is not going to replace my wonderful office moonlander keyboard -but I want something I can travel with and use with other computers in the house. With 3x Bluetooth connections & a wireless USB-A dongle, I should get the device connectivity.
All that remains is programming the bindings so it matches what I am used to. I might have to get a bit low-level
