“We set out to solve one of the most common frustrations we hear — finding and changing settings on your PC — using the power of AI agents,” Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows Experiences at Microsoft, said in a blog post on Tuesday. “An agent uses on-device AI to understand your intent and with your permission, automate and execute tasks.”
Couldn’t they have used ai to figure out how to make the settings less obscure instead.
Apple has entered the chat.

This is why I got my 70 year old mother on a frameworks laptop running pop OS. It looks like a Mac and she thinks its pretty. Switching cost is over hyped. Fuck big tech
Ah Christ. We’ve collectively regressed so much in computer knowledge that people can’t even find a settings menu? Even I have trouble believing that one.
Well, there’s the small issue of Windows now having control panel the settings app and some shitty third thing sprinkled in there somewhere. There are some things that should have settings but don’t. You can no longer simply disable Windows update on your own, because Microsoft has decided they know best.
“Hey Copilot. Delete yourself, Recall and all other bloatware from my system. Thank you.”

I set up my pc as dual boot a few weeks back. Opened up windows yesterday, for the first time in a while, to export a few settings from thunderbird. Took about half an hour to get it started. Felt like popping round to the house of an abusive ex to pick up the last of my things.
Quick! I need a guide on how to disable this.
Alright, that’s fucking it. Next long weekend I have, I’m figuring out how to install Bazzite.
Watch a quick YouTube video about Bazzite. The installation is easy.
I’ve been trying to get some of my games to work on Bazzite… no hope!
nVidia GPU’s get a 20% decrease in performance. AMD works better.
Get that POS off my computer.
Easy way to automatically set settings that are convenient for them and disguise it as AI being AI
Worse - easy way to set the settings then gaslight the user to say they asked for it that way.
How much you wanna bet that it makes those changes in a way that is generally indistinguishable from as if it was done by the user’s own credentials? (Except save perhaps in recall’s own logs)
Couldn’t make a proper settings menu and AI is dumb as rocks…… - + - = - -? Shoot control panel is better than this combo.
