Well, that was usually accurate though. Co-authored by Copilot was likely not.
You are probably right, I was just being silly pointing out other “watermarks” corporations do.
You can turn that off of course.
I’ve just remembered that when Apple first came out with email signatures my idiot boss somehow managed to change his signature to “Mr sexy good time” and couldn’t work out how to change it back. So we had that at the bottom of corporate emails for quite a while.
Lol that is hilarious 😂
I guess I will sound a little crazy, but the way Samsung phones can just plug into a monitor and become a desktop seems like it has a much bigger potential to change the way we use computers than what Microsoft is doing. Microsoft products are so half-assed these days, you can barely work in the cloud let alone get a spreadsheet to fill in cells the way you expect.
That was Microsoft’s goal with Windows Phone and Windows 8, it just never took off
Ubuntu also tried (not sure if MS or Canonical was first)
That’s interesting!
I plug my S25 Ultra into my work dock and use my mechanical keyboard and ergo mouse to pay my bills. It’s honestly such a wonderful feature. I have like 5 apps open at the same time in small windows and it’s just so much nicer.
Install sunlight on my gaming desktop and then moonlight on my phone and now I’m playing AAA games with almost zero latency on my work setup. All powered by my phone. Very nice.
That’s a feature of Android, not anything Samsung is doing (unless they’re contributing these features to mainline AOSP)
Samsung launched DeX almost a decade ago (and it is genuinely useful, I use my tablet from time to time as a laptop replacement when I really want to travel light.)
Android finally came up with a desktop mode, what, a month ago?
Samsung started it, Google only started working on it for Android recently.
They literally rebranded Office to The Copilot App. I’m just waiting for them to complete their descent and rename Windows to Copilot Desktop or something.
Honestly given that a large part of their customer base is corporate and uneasy with the changes being made to Windows 11 it wouldn’t surprise me if they did something exactly like that but also kept Windows around to go back to having separate corporate and personal versions.
Uneasy, yes, but also totally locked into the ecosystem and afraid of trying to educate a userbase -that can barely use technology as it is- enough that they can function with completely new tools.
We are talking about a user base that had a panic attack when the Start button stopped saying “Start”. To say nothing of the button moving to the middle of the task bar. The main tools have already agnosticized though. People are already using Google Docs or other collab versions instead of Office. Given that KDE can already look and behave almost exactly like Modern (the current Windows interface unless they changed the name again) I don’t think companies are as locked in as you think. The last place I worked for had upped their Red Hat licensing from server only to site licenses specifically so they could start switching some machines to RHEL.
Maybe they’ll end up renaming it to Qapla’.
Gotta pump the bubble somehow and show “universal AI usage”. Facebook did something similar like 10 years ago with inflating views for video content to get publishers to pivot to video on Facebook’s platform by juicing the numbers.
