I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

@TechTangents This is the lot who decided Notepad needs tabs, save states, and copliot...

Well, tabs and save states are pretty cool.

@iju @chloeraccoon @TechTangents let's use something else for those, and keep notepad as a way to prevent restarts because there are unsaved changes in my text file.

@sassdawe @iju @chloeraccoon @TechTangents use NotePad++ instead ;-)

In my case, that means installing it on client's machines for editing a single file.
