Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS - Lemmy NZ

wow… OS Subcription-Based with AI? you’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy

But the real question is, will it run the calculator app?
For a recurring fee, it’ll work half the time.
The calculator app is now a link to Copilot. You can ask it in natural language to multiply 2 by 3 and it will tell you “West Dakota”.
oh no, it will work for that. but ask it for 20 × 300 and you will get 5000. just good enough that people without critical thinking skills will find it amazing.

That’s useless. I don’t need AI to get answers like that.

And answers like that made my calculus homework problems get big and ugly.

It will use ““reasoning”” to write a python script that calculates 20x300 and it’ll still get it wrong but it has now wasted an extra 10 cents of compute

"Bitch, it might! Sometimes! Sometimes it might not, sometimes it might do “alternative math”, you’re telling me you can tell the difference, like you’re some kinda math expert?! (oh btw fuck you, forgot to say that)"

  • Satya Nadella, pretty sure
The calculator app might have remote execution vulnerability, so you are better off uninstalling it and asking Copilot instead.
The real question is - is 64GB RAM and a 5090 the minimum system requirements?
