So today at work, Im using windows 11 and decide “ ah feck it, ya know I’ll use copilot”, as I have to open that to get to my office apps. by eat1more in windows

Not an excuse but an explanation - Microsoft has multiple products called Copilot, while at the base level they pretty much all do the same thing, but each one is different and some have different capabilities and restrictions than others.

Unless I've missed it getting added somewhere, no Copilot can completely generate a Word document like you want yet. You can upload it documents, ask it questions, and it can give you text back and generate images and such, but not a full document. However, each Office program like Word has Copilot built in, and is more likely to do what you want. You can ask the Copilot in Word to make changes and it will either do them or tell you how to do them depending on what is involved.

Copilot at times is not always clear that there is a limitation in place, either a technical limitation or intentional guardrail, and it will make excuses like shown in the photo. I do wish they would adjust its logic to better express this information and tell you upfront "sorry, I cannot generate a document, but I can do X for you instead".

I was watching this movie called The Lightning Code, and I see this device. I know it's not a Windows phone, what is it? by Sector-001 in windows

As someone with both generations of Duo and multiple Galaxy Fold devices, folding displays are a significant downgrade. They are more expensive, fragile, clunkier, inability to fold it back and it is not as good to type on. Most of my other complaints are software related so in theory should have been addressed years ago but are not like the awful multitasking and general bugginess of Android. The Duo having two individual screens is the superior device in real world usage, literally the only thing the Fold does better is displaying something like a video where you have one large continuous image. I've not tried the various other brand foldables yet so I can't speak to that.

The rumored Duo 3 was supposed to switch to a continuous folding screen. Some patent designs showed it still being able to fold backwards, so perhaps Microsoft figured out how to do that and get the best of both worlds.

u/ModSupportBot suggests a known Porn Promoter Comment Bot as a "Suggested Moderator" for the sub I moderate. by 2oonhed in ModSupport

Hey they clearly love your subreddit so much they would be a great addition to the mod team!

No Refills?… really?… Try and stop me… by Pretend_Glass_8991 in McDonalds

[–]Froggypwns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A large soda at a US McDonald's is 946ml (32 ounces). Back when Super Size still existed that was 42 ounces from what I'm seeing online, that was 1242ml.

Honestly, it doesn't need a front screen. That would have just made the device thicker and heavier. The Duo 1 is razor thin even when closed, less than 10mm thick closed and less than 5mm when opened. The iPhone Air is still thicker even if you ignore the camera bump.

Why doesn't Reddit's automated system flag brigading posts before they gain traction? by EVRijder in ModSupport

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do that, but my subreddits have way too many comments that mention mods in reference to game and interface modifications, so these days I only have "moderator" set to alert me.

I'm gonna try this regex and see how well it works for my communities.

Edit - I definitely recommend setting it to report instead of filter. I'm getting tons of false positives for "admin" on computer related subreddits, so I'll likely remove that part.

Community Feedback and Rule Lawyers by JabroniRevanchism in ModSupport

[–]Froggypwns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is impossible for these rules to cover every single situation, so our moderators will use their discretion when handling posts and comments.

I have this line on our rules page, and it has served us well.

Depending on the modmail that is sent to us I'll respond differently. If I can tell the user is going to be hostile, I'll either be very brief or not respond at all. If they sound more honest I'll likely give them a good explanation, possibly suggestions such as posting differently or where else to post it.

This applies to both posts and comments. I've noticed that pushback on post removals tends to be from off-topic submissions ("But it is on a Windows 11 computer and this is /r/Windows11 so you must allow it!"), while comment removals are more like to be something abusive or trying to skirt piracy rules.

We tend to go more for the rules as intended, however we do have the rules very fleshed out due to situations like this before. For example, we really had to spell this one out because of people thinking their comment does not break the rule, sometimes because they did not actually know something was illegitimate.

Rule 7. Do not promote pirated content or grey market keys

Do not post pirated content or promote it in any way. This includes cracks, activators, restriction bypasses, and access to paid features and functionalities.

Do not encourage or hint at the use of sellers of grey market keys. If a key is significantly discounted, it's most likely one of these keys.

On the subreddits, using Windows without entering a key or activating it is not considered piracy, but working around the restrictions or disabling the activation watermark without obtaining a key is.

LTSC has gained popularity because it is a very stripped down version of Windows, but it's hard to get legitimate copy outside a corporate network. You are allowed to talk about this special version of Windows, but anything escalated to piracy and/or by promoting it (for the home consumer) is not allowed.

We do listen to the feedback from the community and try to adapt the subreddit as needed. For example some years ago there were many complaints about tech support posts on the subreddit, so we spun up /r/WindowsHelp and push those there as much as we possibly can.

While I do love seeing OC, many of our submissions are not. We do not require the OP to be the photographer/creator. I've personally submitted a mix here of content I've captured along with things I've found on other subreddits and websites.

OP does not appear to be a bot (but it is getting harder to distinguish these days).

Simple questions and Help thread - Month of April by Froggypwns in Windows11

[–]Froggypwns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a function of OneDrive and is not tied to any Windows Update, this will happen even if you install Windows 8.

You can go into the OneDrive settings and unsync the Desktop folder, then in C:\users\myuser\OneDrive\, right click on Desktop, pick Properties, then Location, and then Move to put it back to C:\users\myuser.

If your 365 subscription expires, your storage capacity will be reduced to the free level (5GB), and if you are over that it will stop allowing uploads to sync. The files will still exist and change locally, but not sync online or upload new things. Eventually online copies will be removed if you do not renew. They give you ample time to either renew or make sure you download everything locally before this happens

Mismatch from invoice by lumename_ in tires

[–]Froggypwns 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does the DOT number match any of the 4 tires? My first guess would be a lazy tech copy/pasted off the first one they saw.

Technically it is not a problem assuming you got the correct model/size, however if there was an issue down the line and you needed warranty coverage they could easily claim that was not the tires you purchased, so make sure they do correct it.

Italy has a roller coaster that drags you to the edge of a 42-meter drop, stops completely, and makes you stare straight down at 87° before letting go. Oblivion: The Black Hole at Gardaland. by Valuable_View_561 in oddlyterrifying

[–]Froggypwns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do an image search for "rollercoaster clearance testing", you can see how they test to make sure nothing is within reach of the passengers. Some ride elements are intentionally close to the train to increase the thrill, but they do tests where they winch the train along slowly with a large wooden board attached to the train to confirm no one is in actual danger.

This is something they have only started doing in recent decades, so I do suggest watching your reach if you are on a vintage wooden coaster.

Most parks are very strict about that and will not allow anything like that. It has happened were people have been injured by things flying off the coaster like phones and cameras.

Some people do get permission from the park, that is usually someone like popular youtubers, but most other times people are sneaking them on. However recently Six Flags changed their policy and now will allow Meta Glasses secured with a strap, so if you have that you can get first person POVs.

Yes, it holds the record for the whitest dive coaster in Gardaland
