it's currently opt-in rather than opt-out, fully on-device and won't work on devices with weak NPUs (or on any which completely lack it)
unless it changes in the future it's not that bad at the moment tbh
but actually having a thing you can ask highly contextual stuff like "oh where the fuck did i see that thing i need for a quest now" sounds super nice, no need to resort to scrubbing through playthroughs while trying to reconstruct a path there
privatbank has a similar feature in Ukraine, noone uses it lol
don't get why anyone would ever want this, when you can just tap your phone w google pay
running locally using dedicated hardware in snapdragon cpu is kinda the whole point of the thing though.
also it's not really going to work otherwise, think about it for a second. How useful is a "recall" feature that only remembers moments where you were connected to the internet? also processing such a huge amount of data online is not a feasible task.
also the whole point of the locked down "ai" features (and windows 11 itself lol) is to boost hardware sales. they're not going to make it work on other devices through the "cloud" at least for that reason alone.
because you saved it into onedrive?
which is the default save location in ms office unless you switch it to local (it's not like it uploads stuff automatically tho, it's just the default folder it shows you)
Upgrade to Enterprise
(upgrading to enterprise will also remove ads in settings)
in gpo editor:
Set updates to Manual
set the telemetry level to "Security" in group policy (iirc can also be called "Compliance"). This only works on Enterprise.
opt out of Microsoft accounts. This will force account creation to skip right to local accounts as if MS accounts were never a thing. This only works on Enterprise/Pro.
well apple cpus have a hardware flag which slightly changes side effects of some existing arm instructions AND completely changes the memory model to one that imitates Intel x86 for the current thread. (TSO)
with this flag enabled, the code can be almost fully recompiled ahead-of-time (from x86_64 to arm64) with minimal overhead (no need to remap memory addresses etc), with no reason to resort to e.g. jit recompilation on the fly (which is exactly what box64 does all the time)
i assume snapdragon and microsoft are doing a similar thing (it definitely involves some hw magic too, maybe not exactly the same as in apple) since it's seemingly the only way to achieve parity with apple in terms of performance
yes, but you'll be missing out on ALL games, none of which are compiled for arm64.
also no, box64 is not hardware accelerated.
both snapdragon and apple m series cpus have hardware magic that makes translation viable at all (as demonstrated by box64's (and even fex) piss poor performance)
both apple m cpus and snapdragon have hardware magic to make translation viable when paired with usermode tools like Rozetta or Prism
otherwise it's painfully slow, as demonstrated by both box64 and fex.
it literally just proxies/aggregates google/bing search results tho?
