I wouldn’t say it is quite simple to do such a quality replacement in Photoshop. I’d argue that people with necessary skill level are rather rare.

I didn’t realize for way too long that the song “Ironic” had no actual examples of irony in it, and that in itself is ironic. Blew my mind.

I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.
I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.
Its not much, but it honest work.

I just right-click on copilot on the taskbar and remove, same with the startmenu. Im not uninstalling it in case someone suddenly “needs” it to save me some trouble plus its just a few clicks this way.

Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can’t imagine it’s gotten any better on 11l

What’s the point of such deception? As long as they’re able to recognise it as a web browser, no need for it.

Co-pilot slowed down my work machine to near unusable, and they make it pretty hard to get rid of. I’m not anti-AI at all and I hate co-pilot because of how it was deployed. Windows in general got in the habit of hiding options from users and installing things like security that bogs down the computer more than helps but can’t be easily turned off.

First thing I had opening my work laptop yesterday, notification pop-up titled “Open and pin Copilot!”
Fuck…OFF!
3 monthsIt’s exactly where my control key used to be, so I often hit that button and nothing happens, unless Im using a Windows via AWS and suddenly I keep getting copilot springing up.
It’s a really user hostile move knowing that people will accidentally hit that button

It’s janky AF mess.
Internally the copilot key is hard coded to be meta + shift + f23. If you don’t recognise what the f23 key is, that’s because it was last featured over four decades ago on the IBM model M.
The fact that Microsoft has decreed that the Copilot key must send this exact shortcut of three different keys makes it very difficult to remap consistently.
Most keyboard remapping software (SharpKeys) work best at remapping single keys, not shortcuts. Windows users can use PowerToys to remap this three key shortcut, if you try to use it normally as a right ctrl, e.g. rctrl lshift p it doesn’t work consistently.
I suspect it might be because you’re essentially trying to send a whopping five keycodes for a shortcut, when most programs already struggle to handle 4.
Linux users were similarly out of luck until early last year, when most desktop environments fixed up the key codes.

So now I have to turn off the freaking Windows key and a copilot key.
Perfectly reasonable

And that’s why the internet is addicted to old Thinkpads. I actively avoid these “Copilot+ PCs” with the Copilot key when I shop for laptops, and you should too.

The “internet” is programming centric special interest forums and the ever more radicalized left. Normies don’t really care.
