Lol that awful didn't realize xda had fallen so far

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah I had the same observation recently, especially when I got that popup and then couldn't find anything relevant to what I was looking for. It's just a random tech blog now.

XDA forums (search for that) is the old xda.

Wait until millions realize they have Windows home and don't have group policy editor

That's a good point:

Disable copilot via regedit

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] "TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] "TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] "HubsSidebarEnabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001

Reenable copilot via regedit

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] "TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] "TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=-

Gotta love Microsoft. "We need this to store either a 0 or a 1. How many bits should we take up, boss?"

32.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Using more than one bit for true/false isn't just a microsoft thing, and not really as ridiculous as it sounds. Memory isn't addessable by bits, but by bytes. You can either:

  • Do it like the example here.
  • Use bitfields: Pack multiple values into the same address, but "waste" more memory and cpu time for keeping track and checking which bit your bool is in. This is mostly useful when the data itself has to be really small.

Why is it 32bit / 4 bytes instead of one? I assume a byte alignment reason because of some optimization.

I bet the person who decided to store gender as a 32 bit value instead of a single bit is feeling utterly proud of his foresight right now.

Love how the first response to this question is to hide the icon. I'm guessing this thing is loading at boot and using some resources. If someone wants it disabled, tell them how to disable it not just sit there running all the damn time but you've forgotten about it because the icon isn't there. How to I turn off my beeping smoke alarm copilot? "You have a couple of options, the first would be to place heavy earmuffs over your ears so you no longer hear the beeping."

I did the very same recently and found that the first advice actually stops extra edge processes from running, so I'm good with that.
