@GossiTheDog I wonder if https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/copilot-plus-pcs#shop explains the inability to walk this back.

It is one thing to walk it back after a pre launch preview and an insider build, but to do so after a panel of hardware vendors have built production laptops is another thing entirely.

I also wonder if the at edge dragnet is part of trying to do safer, personalised AI, like we would want, and a competitive advantage compared to Google, but which shows that would never be safe either.

We got two and they were well liked before the kids abandoned bikes for kick scooters.

@feld This is why the plan to put h2 into natural gas pipelines as a way to preserve that infrastructure is just plain silly.

Let alone the interoperability issue of appliances expecting methane but getting hydrogen instead. Can't do a flag day on a whole town!
