Aside of the massive garbage (space junk) being created.. I do not know how easy will it be to buy politicians.
For reference: here in India, conventional satellite phone use without specific licences and permissions is a criminal offence.
And although this might be the usual cellular connection.. there might be an entirely different framework and set of rules required to contain misuse and abuse.. especially in the border areas.
Also hopefully.. if permitted.. then maybe calls between India Nepal would ve possible over cellular networks.. WITHOUT having to spend 10x the reasonable rates.
Not to diss your prediction but the kind of attention spans which many of the online Homo sapiens have and the kind of consumption patterns that we see.. the stammers flooding the platforms with computer assisted/generated content.. WILL FLOURISH (even more).
.
Also.. recommendation engines, algorithm care two-hoots about quality, ethics.
Like literally all the pirated movies that get uploaded to UA-cam.. it starts recommending to people on the home screen itself.. no searching required.
The uploaded gets the views, the monetisation benefits and soon after (within hours) removes the movie/video.
Now i get - 40% of annual.......
So Lifetime is not even after 10 Years :. (....
Stupid questions:
Why nebula has no comments?
Why nebula has no fullscreen (16/9 cropped to 18..21/9)?
FWIW - since it was first offered, I went with Curiosity Stream @ $20/year which included Nebula. I never really cared for Curiosity Stream but occasionally watched something on Nebula. Now with the CS/Nebula divorce, it is 50% more for Nebula access alone and probably much more that going forward. This changes the value proposition from "sure, why not" to "not so fast". For me, it's just too much.
@TheFridayCheckout "kuiper" is pronounced as "KAI-PUR"
I think reintroducing the dislike count would help a lot against cheap AI generated content on UA-cam.
you can do it with an extention in any browser. people should just stop using the youtube app
@@_Digitalguy I doubt that's going to happen since revanced exists.
@@pixelreflectorpro I have tried many version of youtube vanced and there are always issues, like the video stops playing after a while, Google is doing whatever they can to kill these apps, so the browser is more reliable, what's more these apps do not exist for iPhone

This supposed 'AI Revolution' is unlike any tech revolution we've had
Every other innovation was a grassroots movement, growing from the bottom-up
This AI craze, on the other hand, is closer to a silicon valley mandate than natural human progression
I feel like instead of finding a solution to a problem,they found a solution first and are now trying to forcefully find problems for it to solve
what? you think coal miners came up with and profited from teh steam engine?
@@rnbpl
A geeky inventor with time to kill and nothing better to do kept failing at inventing the steam engine, until they succeeded
Then business owners rushed to obtain the steam engine to stay ahead of the game
With AI on the other hand, without people's consent their browsers and operating systems are stuffed with AI features that no casual user asked for
@@archimedesbird3439 The steam engine existed in ancient times but wasn't useful until the economic and social conditions for capitalism came into being. The Industrial Revolution started with textile mill owners looking for ways to create more textiles with less labor
It's a bunch of autistic devs trying to prove they are the smartest ones in the room. With egos so bloated yet fragile they can't admit they're being played by their -owner- company.
It's completely off the rails.
If a device of mine ever has the misfortune of getting the copilot button, I will immediately rebind it to something actually useful
It is likely to be redirected at hardware level to Win+C and so would not be rebindable. This is how most vendors implement the various fn key features currently.
I would like to understand why ?
@@pukkandan Right, so just have to bind something useful to super+C.
@@ilikeblank "I don't use Copilot" or "I don't find it all that useful" basically.
Same. I love using Copilot, but I don't think it needs a dedicated button. It already has both keyboard AND taskbar shortcuts 🙄
Honestly, since UA-cam got rid of the dislike counter - I have not followed any new educational creators
AI generated content will only exacerbate that
1.- Microsoft has been known to put new keys into their keyboards only to make them useless over time. Besides that "Menu" key, their Wireless Keyboard 300 (the one I've been using for YEARS) has a "Multi window" key that was thought for that Windows vista gimmick and doesn't do anything on Windows 11. So I'm with you in that "programmable" thing (as is the people on Framework, by the way).
2.- One hard solution UA-cam can think of for that AI generated trash is just bring back the "Dislike" count or, at least, the Like/Dislike ratio. It was quite usefull when sorting quality content. Now we feel the "dislike" button doesn't do anything even if I'm still using it.
Yeah the dislike count has been on YT for 16 YEARS, so removing it absolutely made no sense
Completely agree with both
Sadly if they're able to automate video making, they may as well automate disliking videos to trick the algorithm.
Whoever thinks the "menu" key is stupid is dumb. It's a replacement of the right mouse button to trigger context menus. I use it all the time. Some newer laptop keyboards made it so that it can only be triggered with Fn + Right Ctrl, saving a key on the keyboard, but now I have to use both hands to do that and I hate it.
@@sihamhamda47 it made perfect sense from a pro censorship perspective 😈
This particular AI problem is very much an increase of a real problem that's been on UA-cam (and the entire internet) since the beginning, low quality crap crowding out stuff you actually want. The current set of tools aren't dealing well with this new glut of AI generated content, but it's not the first time existing mechanisms have failed temporarily to filter out crap
Because AI clearly wasn't being forced on everything enough already.

Copilot button seems rather pretentious, I don’t mind the feature itself but I don’t think it’s something that’s really worthy of its own button. They really think GPT quick access is gonna be as ubiquitous as Start button lol.
They're making big bet on implementing Copilot in all of their software.
to be fair i don' think start needed a button either. ctrl+esc worked fine.
I am happy if it's implemented well.
@@GraveUypo Well, it's pretty useful if you just want to quickly bring up your start menu and there are also tons of shortcuts now that rely on the Start button. Same goes for the "Command" key on Macs.
Everything will be AI supported in the future, don’t be scared by the „new“ things. In 10 years nobody will ever remember that the button wasn’t there in the past.
I use the menu button quite frequently, especially in Excel and Outlook, so such a keyboard would be a no-go for me.
Linux is becoming more and more promising. I too can't use a keyboard without the menu key.
then dont buy one, most people wont so they will still exist
@@fireball2275 you don't seem to understand the power that Microsoft weilds over manufacturers., unless you believe we can make our own laptops
The images shown also have a menu key icon below the new one so I assume either remapping or fn+copilot are options
I could live without the menu button since Shift+F10 exists, but it seems like they removed the right alt and right control keys? Now *that’s* the actual no-go for me here, lol.
Microsoft is at it again with going in way to deep with rebranding Windows every few years and inevitably failing miserably. Waiting for the "Biggest Tech Fails of the 2020s" Videos in a few years, where the whole Copilot-BS will be featured front and center...
I'll also stick to Chat-GPT for the time being
Windows is mostly shareware now anyway, they just keep trying to ram more and more paid services into the UI and I for one am sticking with windows 10 indefinitely. When security updates stop, no biggy, I don't use windows security anyway.
@@NeonVisual Windows Security and Windows security updates are two different things
People wouldn't be whining as much if Apple or Google did this.
@@NeonVisualjust switch to linux at this point
only problem with those AI videos is that platforms don't want us to have chronological listings, only the one their crappy algorithms have already crapped out. dunno why they broke those in the first place before and people still use these services...
That "tiktok" abomination of an entertainment platform is overly used and you never pick the video, a communist algorithm gives it to you, tiktok has to go and once people let go of bad low effort binge content everything else will tumble
Of course, platforms like youtube don't care if it's AI generated clone content, they're interested in whether it's high-engagement and advertiser-friendly. That's why the internet has become so heavily driven by recommendations from opaque algorithms and why search functionality is so rudimentary.
Thank god I'm not changing my keyboard for at least another 20 years (yep, that how long the one I'm writing on has lasted) ... I generally don't use Copilot, and I don't want a button that will make me press it accidentally every once in a while.
I doubt Microsoft can get the thousand keyboard companies out there today, but if you want something mainstream like Logitech, the freebies from Dell or a new laptop? No luck there,
@@sadmanh0Does Microsoft actually somehow mandate all Windows compatible keyboards to have a Copilot key?
This is the first time I ever hear of such a thing being implied.
I am rocking 2007 wired Apple keyboard from my sister's old iMac.
I hear ya. I moved to Linux and I've got a Linux computer at home with a Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard. It has an OFFICE key on it. Like seriously? At least with Linux (KDE Plasma for example) I can remap the key, but you can't do that in Windows...it forces open the Microsoft Office Web App crap.
I'm so glad I dumped Windows. It seems like Microsoft is intent on forcing their AI junk everywhere. At least on Linux I can CHOOSE when I open Bing's AI Image Creation Tool and not have it shoved down my throat like I guarantee they'll do to Windows 11 and Windows 12 users.
@@StaceyAyodele I love windows and been using edge as a pretty ok browser for a while. But I've started changing a lot of settings to keep it good. Every few weeks they add a new way of doing the same things.
I feel confident that YT *could* differentiate AI stuff from real if it wanted to, but why should it bother? That fake AI stuff gets huge viewing numbers, and YT sells ads against that. So long as YT is getting paid, it isn't going to change its ways.
UA-cam sadly does allow AI generated video's, what is not allowed is it being straight up ripped off content (but here YT fails hardly in preventing that)
@f0x4nn3 What's wrong with AI generated videos? Iv never seen them. Surely it can't be any worse than tiktoks or twitter.
@@pugorilla8848 it is worse because its people making thousands off of content they had a very little hand in making
My dad said the first thing when the Copilot button gets launched, is that people will do tutorials how to turn it off
He's right. Same happened with the Bixby button, to name just one example. Most pointless garbage ever.
I use that right click menu key a lot. I have to set up a lot of computers at work and one of the things I always like about using windows is you do not need a mouse to interact with it at all, you can literally do everything from the keyboard and part of that includes having the right click button on the keyboard.
im hoping sponsorblock will add something that lets the community flag a video as AI generated, since i doubt youtube will actually do anything anytime soon
nvm just suggested it to the devs and they said they wont
The person who beat Tetris dedicated it to his father who recently died. I wish you would’ve mentioned that!
AI-generated content farms have been around for at least half a decade, but now they're only going to get more pervasive with the rise of ChatGPT and similar systems...
The big challenge with these key placements is they replace keys in the existing dead zones on a keyboard where it’s awkward to press if you type properly, making it so much effort to move your fingers to press that actually you will never use it
You have to preorder and purchase the device to receive the 50$ credit. It's specified in the terms and conditions under the registration fields. It explicitly states "Pre-order and purchase required" and even goes further and states that your credit will be forfeit if the device is returned "If you return or cancel your purchase, the discount will be forfeit"
6:16 I literally was looking into this today. I was wondering why almost 30% of the people I subscribed to were leaving youtube between the early 2023 and now and if this has anything to do with the absolute shitfest of fake content that my homepage has turned into.
If only youtube had a crowdsourced way to detect fake/bad content. You know... Like some sort of an indicator to express that the content is bad or something...
Maybe like "Community Notes", that could be up- or down-voted?
"Filter out AI" easier said than done, especially considering that AI is far away from "matured". And every kind of filtering sounds to me like just a new way for UA-cam to yeet innocent channels out of existence just because "Algorithm said so". While every single one of these AI copycats will simply create a new channel and continue their work.
Note on the Samsung offer Marton, the credit is only given “when you preorder and purchase the reserved device” according to the US terms. Slight correction needed, since it does require purchase after all
It will be hilarious if Copilot faces the same fate as Cortana. Millions of laptops will be stuck with an actually useless button 😂
Ah, so that's why some channels I watch have suddenly started showing their faces. I was noticing a lot of people had started doing it, but I wasn't sure why. Now I get it. Thanks, AI.
Makes sense sometimes im not sure if a voice is ai or not because some people sound simular to some ai voices
Best video to stay up-to-date every friday, 10 minutes, perfect time, beats loosing time during the week on sites, and lets you be more productive, thanks
I hate copilot. When it dropped it broke every life wallpaper by causing screen redraws. Then they shoved it on windows + c, which is very near to windows +v and accidental presses are unavoidable. I went out of the way to disable it in settings and remapping the shortcut using powertoys.
I think enough keyboards exist without one in the world today that I can get away without ever having a copilot button while Microsoft have this obsession.
I'm actually exhausted by Silicon Valley's obsession with AI.
I'm exhausted with silicon valley in general.
I have the "Menu" key mapped to "Compose". You press Compose followed by two character you'd want to _compose_ together. For example Compose : - becomes ÷ , and Compose A E becomes Æ.
It requires third-party software on Windows and MacOS, but just has to be enabled on Linux.
This key would have been a much better choice, giving actual benefits to users, than a stupid branding button introduced to justify a hare-brained investment in a the latest buzzword.
Do you figure there is a chance that the whole AI generated stuff will end up with some sort of duty to "register", where you either have to state somewhere that AI was used/how much percent of AI was used, or the flipside, where you state/register in some way that your stuff is actually human made? And people would do it to get preferential treatment from the algorithms?
For example in my home country Austria there is a legal duty for each website to have a section that shows the legal owner and we are big into all kind of "100% biological" or "100% fair trade" labels.
Some kind of cryptographic signature system to verify the origin of digital content is surely coming. Sony has already announced implementing such a system in their digital cameras. Of course such a system will bring a host of new problems, for example for journalists reporting on sensitive topics.
In the meanwhile, UA-cam could introduce a mandatory AI label for AI generated videos and ban all channels that do not use it for AI content.
Now keyboard without Copilot button will be a feature
BTW, Kuiper is pronounced like the ki in kite and per in person. Kuiper is the name of the Kuiper belt and the astronomer Gerard Kuiper.
I just want social media the add option that you do not want videos to be recommended that have AI voices or scripts. The TikTok voice is driving me insane. I have a Pavlovian reaction to that voice by now. Just pure rage.
I think Co-Pilot button is going to be a double tab to co-pilot! And normally used as Function key
Handling Fn button is your keyboard's responsibility. Your computer never registers a Fn key press. In other words, using combination to increase Volume actually sends signal that you pressed volume up button. Thanks to that, every keyboard can have their own Fn combinations.
@@Gornius
That’s a typical Windows behavior. Macs can register Fn keys. I use it to change input sources. Press the Fn key once and the input source will be changed.
@@khoanguyen0001 Nope, Linux works that way too. So handling Fn key by system is Mac-only behavior. But they have their own very-special keyboard anyway, aren't they? So we're not even talking about that same keyboard standard.
@@Gornius
You’re wrong. It depends on the manufacturers. I’ve previously owned a Lenovo laptop, and it lets me remap it, suggesting the Fn key is handled at the BIOS level. Just Google “remap the fn key Lenovo.” Although, indeed, Windows doesn’t have the capability to handle the Fn key but delegates it to a lower-level system, it’s not always at the hardware level.
Regarding Linux, it just takes the lazy approach and copies the Windows keyboard layout but replaces the Windows key with the Super key. Just Google “Chromebook keyboard layout,” and you’ll see. There’s no keyboard standard. I mean, yes, there's QWERTY standard, for example, but that’s it. The QWERTY standard doesn’t tell you where to put the modifier keys. And, of course, Linux copied how Windows handles the Fn key.
I guess the most exciting thing in this video is that indoor smoker, will be checking that out
8:12 Have you seen the AI corporate talking head videos? Once these content farms can run their own avatar generators, having 'humans' present the videos or in the thumbnails will lose value.
While I don't use the menu key often, it was very helpful in the cases I used it. For example, I when don't have a mouse connected during some tinkering, or if I am doing something repetitive. Constantly switching back and forth between keyboard and mouse in a repetitive task is quite annoying. Anyway, maybe there is another shortcut which can be used to replace the key. Not sure.
Yeah i started to avoid random videos, where i don't see the speaker.
I hope that I can at least remap the ctrl button to be a ctrl button again. I don't need the context key (I used it like 5 times in my life to see if it is actually just a right click), but I like the ctrl keys more than I'll use a copilot key. I use both ctrl mostly 50/50
Sigh, as somebody who actually uses the application key sometimes I'm not happy about this, it's already hard enough to find keyboards that haven't messed with it. Keyboard manufacturers keep either losing one of the windows keys or the application key in favor of like a Fn key that's actually less useful if you have the right software. I use a Macro program that lets me reuse the application key as a modifier key to launch macros when combined with like any other key on the keyboard. I don't /need/ a Fn+Whatever combination to control the volume, I can use any key I want. The Fn key isn't /actually/ a key as far as the operating system is concerned, it only modifies the code the keyboard sends on specific hardwired keys, it has absolutely no effect or indication when combined with any other key. The OS /literally/ doesn't know if the Fn key is being pressed on its own. No idea how this copilot key will function, is it taking over the scan-code for the apps key or are they using some other scan code, or is it going not to send scan codes and require a special driver like a macro keyboard.
That's not even considering that a keyboard without an Apps key is like a mouse without a right mouse button, it's literally the only way to make the shortcut menu for the selected item pop up when you're using the keyboard, otherwise you need to use a mouse, touchpad, long press on a touchscreen, etc, which works from where the /mouse/ pointer is and not where the cursor is. So you also have to move the mouse pointer to what you had selected with the keyboard, which takes a few extra seconds every time which if you're doing a lot is a huge tedium. I have a cheap laptop that doesn't have an apps key and I keep getting stuck for a few seconds where I go to look for it, can't find it, remember it doesn't have one, and have to use the touchpad to move to where I'm working and right click.
Chromebooks already have a google assistant key I think
Remember the Office button which was a shortcut for Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Win? You could use it like Office-W to open Word or Office-L to open Linkedin. It works the same with Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Win-{button} tho
Most googled question soon: how to disable copilot
Even I, who is a hardcore Windows only user, is now thinking to switch to Linux.
This week
I installed Linux mint
10x better
I only use windows because of games
Or i will switch to Linux 2-3 years ago
I started using Linux with the steam deck, it can do a lot of things, but some things are just not smooth at all, like multiple audio outputs, stable wifi, navigating the folders, connecting it to a dock with external monitors etc. That can e an issue with the deck and not linux though
@@FiveTimeZeroUnless you're playing completive multiplayer games, Linux should be able to handle most single player games.
You can check protondb for their compatibility.
Same, I literally have 1 game who the developers won't disable the anticheat forcing Linux not to work -_- @@FiveTimeZero
If Microsoft tries to mess with my Menu key I will completely, completely freak out.
I love the menu key and use it a lot if you don't have a menu key you can hit shift plus f10 but that's kind of annoying.
The menu key pretty much acts like a right click but wherever your keyboard cursor is rather than your mouse cursor.
Sounds useless to me when shortcuts exist
@@kylespevak6781 I don't know what you're talking about but when I want to rename a file I just hit the menu key and then the n key and if I want to see the properties of a file I can hit the menu key and then hit the r key.
Sure if you just clicked on something with your mouse You can right click but if you're using the arrow keys to navigate then you'd have to take your hand off the arrow keys and back over to the mouse then drag the mouse over to whatever it is in right click which is way more slow.
Copilot button bold of Microsoft to assume people will use copilot. I'd give it 5 years before Microsoft is finally forced to shut it down.
I really wonder how they plan to make money on it. GPT Plus is $20 a month as well as being capped, and even then it is melting away money.
They either have to...
- make it local, to not actively loose money on it (they won't ever do that)
- make it require an expensive subscription, so few people actually end up using it
- spam it so full to the brim with ads that it'll become unbearable
I'm betting on option #2.
What I don’t get is Microsoft already had an AI assistant with Cortana but they got rid of it. What’s the point of getting rid of Cortana if they are just going to shove another AI assistant into Windows with a different name. What makes them think Copilot will fair any better?
Bold of you to assume people won't use it when they're already using it
@@plows2940well Cortana is wayyyyy worse than even GPT 3,5
Copilot is GPT 4.0 and for tech illiterate people, I can kinda see them using it to tweak Windows Settings to their liking.
@@plows2940if you actually think Cortana is anywhere within the same realm as newer LLMs you need a reality check
Wasn’t expecting that
It's time to start hoarding a healthy supply of keyboards. Good luck trying to break in to my home to give me that button.
First thing to burn from a windows installation would be Co-Pilot, just like I always did to Cortana.
menu key is best key!! at least I'll still be able to use Shift+F10. I wonder if they'll implement this key as an actual key with the USB HID usage tables or if it'll just send some made up key combination like Win+Ctrl+Shift+F24
The Copilot key may be bad, but it's not as bad as the Bixby button.
The biggest difference with the Copilot key and the Bixby button is that the Bixby button was in an inconvienient spot that was able to be mistaken for the volume control. In this case, it is in a spot that is out of the way and won't be accidentally pressed given the type of keyboard. Also, due to how keyboards work, someone's going to make a driver to remap it if it isn't there natively. On Windows, you can just install drivers without fancy tweaks to the OS, compared to a locked-down version of Android that you find on Samsung phones. I wouldn't be surprised if most manufacturers let you still access the Menu key, as Dell is doing it (evident by the menu icon in grey in the bottom left at 3:30).
If there is some proper remapping for that Co-pilot button, then I really don't see a problem for it. Mark my words, if I cannot remap it I'm just going to press it by mistake all the time. Not that Co-pilot is bad, I just never find a proper use case for it yet
This kind of shit is exactly why we need the dislike button publicly visible. UA-cam made it impossible for any kind of tutorial or review to be useful because you can’t judge it anymore without reading a dozen of probably AI generated comments
That indoor smoker is pretty cool for apartments though
I’d love to have one
Yeah, I'm not getting a copilot button. I'm still using a model M. I don't even have a windows key.
Changing the Office key to be a copilot button would make more sense imo. I do actually use my menu button.
The Office key is more or less exclusive to the Surface line, where it will be exchanged with the Copilot button
Just today I came across a few AI Insta Models, that were really hard to recognize and were not marked as those. And by the comments you can see, that many real people were fooled by it. Mostly middle aged people.
How it is cheaper to rocket cell towers satellite to space? And periodically replace it?
I never even thought of mapping co-pilot to its own key?!?!? That makes so much sense to me! .
My right alt key is now a co-pilot key.
Well, time to start investing in custom keyboards.
Thank goodness I got into a custom keyboard hobby.
the copilot thing is just like the office key lol wonder if people will actually use it with the ai craze going
They're adding a button that no one really needed.
Removing the menu key will make it harder to use windows is you don’t have a working mouse
4:18 I'm remapping that sheit so fast they won't even notice.
Do you plan to offer regional prices for nebula? In Turkey 30 dollars is 1 tenth of the minumum wage so it is kinda high.
The FIRST thing I thought of was Bixby 🙄😆
Thanks for the vid!
Regarding the Co-pilot key, will that key use the same USB key code as the Menu Button it replaces, or will it get its own key code? And will Windows allow you to turn the Co-pilot key back into a Menu key if you want to?
Microsoft allowing you to customize your system without requiring extensive modding first? Eh, I won't hold my breath.
Yeah I don't want to replace a functional key I use for things with something linked to a service at all let alone this.
Hey whats your opinion on xiami being suspended in Finland. The last seller gigantti anounced that they would stop ordering new devices from them. Im so sad about this because I love their products but its also abit odd that they have continued their sales in Russia.
Wait, your keyboard doesn't have a menu key AND two control keys?
EDIT. There's a reason we had satellite phones, and that wasn't just the frequency but also the POWER needed. I'd be a lot more interested in that starlink story if it had a bit more info on how the tech works.
There's a schematic on their site where they say an UNMODIFIED phone connects directly with the satelites... UP in sky, around some 550Km away... 😅
@@MarcioHuser yeah, see, that right there is my issue. That needs a rather larger amount of power. Most phones can't connect to a 5g antena though a wall. Even in free air with low humidity, the power of a normal phone means it can't connect further that a few km, and that's with old spectra that we no longer use because they were shit at data. And I'm fairly certain there are rules that mean you can't just push power to an antena like a madman. Most satalite phones also drain the battery like there's no tomorrow. So I'm really interested in how the he'll they solved the power issue. Star links internet already consumes more power that it's feasible to allow it to be used while camping. How are they going to make an unmodified smartphone connect to a cell tower that's basically a country away?
@@AlucardNoir do.. do you understand what 5g is?? do you understand what these terms mean?? if the waves are stopped by a single wall, i would be VERY CONFUSED.
@@cewla3348 then you should be very confused because you clearly have no idea what 5g is, what frequencies it uses and how does frequencies interact with the rest of the world around us. There are videos on this very site from when 5g was knew that showed what would happen to a your data rate if you put something as flimsy as an umbrella between the cell tower and your phone. Why do you think 5g requires several times more cell towers than 4g? Because the frequencies it uses are extremely easy to block.
Its like a search button in the windows button
No one ever used it
An indoor smoker is nothing new, my father in law has been sparking up in the kitchen since before i was born

The tetris news made me smile!
Thank you for your content, it's consistently great quality and a highlight of the week. 👍
The context menu button isn't useless what? I'm so confused why would you replace it with a dedicated button to a service that will be dead before windows 13?
Nooo! I loved the menu key on my surface in word!!
who the hell would want to get rid of the menu key, its such a useful key when typing anything due to the fact that you dont have to take your hands off of home row and can just access everything faster, this is like removing the ` key because some people that play source games dont use the terminal
Awesome, an extra key to remap!
This copilot key will age like premium milk.
Please cover clicks next week
Copilot is not even that good at the moment. I asked it to recommend me good 1080p 240hz gaming monitors, and it keeps giving me 1440p or even 500hz. When I vent my frustration at it, it stops talking.
Please no, I don't want or need that garbage.
As others have said, it'd get re-bound to something useful.
talk about going all in for a flash in the pan feature that no one cares about.
I use the menu key. Why are they replacing it?
So the IBM Keyboard has evolved from the 101 keys to 104 to include the 3 new windows-specific keys, (two windows keys and a context-menu key), down to 102 (one windows key) and now up to 103 (windows and AI key). Feels like a marketing ploy. All MS needs now is to license another song from the "Rolling Stones" in their TV ads to promote AI and we then got ourselves a retro Win95-ish ad campaign on our hands.
if they bring back the Microsoft sound it might almost be worth it
480 Hz makes no sense. Waste of engineering effort.
I feel like all this AI stuff is really annoying, like every single major brand suddenly included AI in things that AI has absolutely no right being in, such as your keyboard. Why do I need an AI button? The only thing I have ever used chatbots/generative AI for was for the memes, and even then, I don't do it a whole lot. I feel like the AI key will just be another key that gets no use by anyone besides a select group of people, and will just be another key to avoid accidentally hitting.
if i get a keyboard that has that new key, im ripping it off
happy friday, and happy new year
leave my keyboard alone microsoft
So, Microsoft invented a command key, that is stunning and brave!
But where did I see a command key before?
7:49 is that a inglorious basterds reference? Or am i crazy and constantly think of that scene all the time?
more microsoft forces us to use AI more I don’t wanna use it
I'm stocking up on my favorite keyboard to last me a lifetime so I never have to see that stupid Copilot button.
The Windows key is bad enough hitting it while gaming. Now they want to add more and make Control smaller? Good thing I use mostly vintage winkeyless keyboards since they were built better back then.
Also Unicomp still makes them
If microsoft forced copilot under my menu button I will change it back instantly
