  • Guessing you either didn’t actually have a real HDR monitor, or just didn’t realise it shouldn’t look like what it did.

    Yeah, me being technologically challenged is probably it. Dude, I retired around 25 because of tech. Besides, if you ever toggled HDR while having 5 monitors attached, you’d think hard if it would be REALLY needed right now 😁

    On device or in cloud, you have privacy settings that control it.

    Sorry, I just don’t have that level of naiveté. A US-company pumping billions into AI and not use our data for anything? That is why they already gather that much, even without LLMs? Half of my firewall-rules are for MS, so little do they phone home 😁

    But at least only one windows machine will be problematic, my others are win-server, they won’t get this crap. So no worries for me anyway.








  • Seriously? Because not everything supports HDR lol

    I never switched it off and never had problems in any content. Weird 😊

    If you know the keyboard shortcut, sure. With a mouse how do you do it in a second while you’re in a game?

    It’d be not the wisest move to toggle it while in a game. And maybe I’d need two seconds, possibly even three or four. A worthy price for privacy in my book

    Great! So there we have it, you recognise that you were wrong. We got there in the end, hooray!

    Nonsense. I said from the beginning there are niche-usecases. Those don’t invalidate all arguments per se

    MS" don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

    And here’s where you’re seriously wrong. It might be local only for simple things like file-search (doesn’t mean your voice-data isn’t sent for “performance and quality assurance” reasons). Most stuff is or will, obviously, be cloud-based. They wouldn’t put billions into that just so that regular Joe from accounting can open office faster. They do it for profit

    “MS” don’t have to, just copilot on your device, without any feedback to MS.

    Yeah sure. Some features are local only. IF you have a compatible NPU in your machine. If not then it’ll be cloud too. The data on what is local only is freely accessible.

    AI can already interact with third party products

    Some ai with some 3rd party products. Surely never all with everything. Also we’re talking about copilot only.







  • Horror = a supernatural element that is probably evil by nature. Blood or gore don’t do shit.

    Thinking of stuff like “[REC]” (not the murican remake but the original), “night of the living dead”, “evil dead” or even the classic “Blair witch”. Horror is (or should be?) more of the things you don’t see that might scare. Gore is fine, but it should not the be core (like in slashers).

    Sadly I’m totally immune to scares of all kinds in books, movies or games that the whole genre is useless to me.
