#22I remember when I was working on Facebook games, every product manager wanted their new feature to have one-click access from the main game screen. So each new feature created a new wart on the UI. This is that, but for hardware. Let's call it a Thirsty Feature
I love the term "Thirsty Feature". I've seen this happen many a-time and it's always a sign of poor product management :/
Metrics looking dire? Did you ship the wrong product? Do users express little interest in what you have made?
No worries - juice your metrics and secure that promo by forcibly throwing your feature at users' faces in an existentially inescapable way, like an out of control t-shirt cannon!

#23I get so tilted at the idea of a specific OS vendor having a dedicated keyboard button on all non-apple computers. And now they are doing it again, wild.

This is the entire Amazon store page for me.

#25Should last as long as Mac's Touchbar

#26The way Microsoft is pushing AI literally everywhere now feels reminiscent of circa 2001 when literally everything was branded '.NET'. Eventually they scaled it back, but it was complete overkill and diluted what the brand was supposed to represent.

#27guess I miss a lot of news of Copilot...when is it becoming a personal assistant? what happens when I click Copilot button but I don't have money in Microsoft account?
1 social demerit.

#28Because everyone loves brand marketing on their keyboards...
Microsoft would incur far less wrath if they would stop letting their marketing department run their company.

#29Hmm hope this isn’t the version that mixes in web results and web advertisements into its AI response. Hope it’s not limited to certain number of back and forth responses and essentially sanitized and neutered.

#30Honestly, my initial reaction to this was my typical jaded, cynical, anti-MS self, but after consideration - and the key fact that they're replacing a key, not adding one necessitating a new layout - I'm honestly okay with this. does anyone use the menu key (the key that allegedly this will replace)? It's certainly one of the first to go in enthusiast keyboards using non standard 100% layouts, As long as it's not some stupid propreitary implementation and can be remapped to something useful for those of us not interested in a copilot hotkey, I'm fine with this.
Sidenote, what do people do for push to talk, because if I can disable the copilot trigger and just make this a PTT key then that's great, but I suspect a proper PTT button is one those things everyone else has solved and I've just been under a rock.
EDITED for clarity
