    What does the Key on its own do, what character does it send? Is it something standard or is it something custom?

      It’s something like win-ctrl-f23

      (Despite the physical buttons having been missing for a long time on regular keyboards, there are still scancodes for f13-f24)

      For what it’s worth too, the Windows “Powertoys” utilities have always been able to remap it.

      Shit, even Apple lets you reprogram the Action Button, insofar as you can program anything on iOS (which isn’t nothing, Shortcuts scripting can be pretty detailed).

      I kinda see your point, but a huge number of people have a subscription to at least one streaming service, so those buttons are a useful feature for a lot of people.

        Yeah some TV’s these days come with streaming built in and have this kind of remote. Plus if you buy a set top streaming box like a Roku, they come with this kind of remote also. It’s stupid, but a real world thing.

    my favorite feature of copilot is that on top of being extremely stupid, it’s very easily offended. literally the only thing they made sure it would consistently get right is being fucking touchy.

    I used copilot like four times to test what it can do. it is so fucking bad. every “conversation” inevitably ends with me saying “you’re useless” and copilot getting offended and immediately ending the conversation with a passive aggressive message basically implying “I’m done with this. you can try again if you’re gonna be nicer next time”

    lol fucking dumb useless piece of code, can’t even ask it the simplest questions without it spitting some absolute nonsense, but also can’t take shit because it’s too precious and self respecting. fuck you, Microsoft.

    Why Microsoft is so obsessed with the word “copilot”? There’s like 4 different things with the same name.

      Microsoft will definitely have the power to bulldoze all other things named copilot, like Facebook did to meta. I’m still not over AI being a lame word now. I miss the time when it felt sci-fi and not like a corporate buzzword.
