I can't remember seeing Qualcomm CPU's before. The name makes me think of WiFi cards.
With Intel stock taking a dive recently, I can't help but feel that the processor landscape is changing.

#63The AI is the least interesting part of this announcement. Microsoft is giving ARM another try with a special branding that's supposed to guarantee some level of performance and quality. That's possibly huge news.
Microsoft has been consistently trying to give ARM a try since the surface RT. Consumers are not going to bite. marginal power saving is not meaningful.
I'm a Windows ARM user (Surface Pro X). For me the benefits (fanless, battery not running down randomly in your backpack, phone charger compatibility, integrated LTE, 16G RAM in that envelope), are worthwhile.

#64Will this run locally, or is part of the work outsourced? With "Recall", can law enforcement ask your laptop "Has your user done anything suspicious lately"?
Coverage on Windows Central says it is all local. As for the law enforcement question, it doesn't matter. If they want to get info from your computer, they will and they don't need AI to help.

They wouldn't be continuously trying to ban encryption worldwide if that was true. There's plenty of things everyone can do to protect themselves.

> As for the law enforcement question, it doesn't matter. If they want to get info from your computer, they will and they don't need AI to help. This is a poor take. Law enforcement needs a warrant to seize your computer to get your data normally. Law enforcement only needs a compliant and willing corporate person to willingly give over your data to law enforcement. It's about who owns it and where is it located and…
Getting a warrant isn't that hard either.
getting a warrant requires probable cause, and a judge to approve it. maybe that's not hard, maybe it is, but i'd personally prefer more steps being required to access what data i have.

Really? The Recall feature is pretty interesting and potentially quite useful. I see their AI implementation as V 1.0 of bigger things to come.
Re: Introducing Copilot+ PCs
#67The only issue is that these all run Windows…bloated, annoying, privacy intrusive in-your-face OS
That is true.
I do not use windows anymore.
None of my servers ever ran windows.
One can only pretend that closed source operating systems ate acceptable for so long before one has to address the lack of configurability, in a deep sense.
I found it odd that your comment was greyed out.
I find this disturbing, to be frank.

Can I call an AI expert as my witness to explain what "hallucination" is?

#69Is Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot the same thing?
This is another example of MS branding that is clear as mud. Skype vs. Skype for Business, Visual Studio vs. Visual Studio Code vs. Visual Studio for Mac, OneNote vs. OneNote for Windows 10... To my knowledge, each one of the products in this list is a completely different beast despite naming similarities.
And Surface initially was an interactive table (now called PixelSense) before they reused the name for their tablets. Which made it really difficult to find relevant information on developing software for the old Surface after the tablets were announced!

#701300$ for the 16GB Asus laptop.
That's actually not bad, I'm gonna toss a 4TB M2 in one of these.
I doubt it'll actually clear 18 hours of battery life, but I'd be happy with 10.
