    I’ll hate it because this already happens with links in MS Teams where despite having a high spec work computer it makes the system so sluggish that the mouse cursor won’t move smoothly for 15 seconds or so while it sorts itself out.

    I mean I’ve already got a Core i7 with 32G of RAM and an NVME sitting on my desk so how much freaking horsepower is THIS little stunt going to take?

      Edge browser now required a GPU with 12Gb VRAM minimum.

      OF COURSE YOU CAN RENT GPU CLOUD COMPUTE!

      You don’t have enough AI-ready GPU cores so Teams is running the local copilot model on the CPU with your most recent outlook emails in order to prepare a dummy to send to the cloud for further analysis

      …I don’t know if any of the above is true but if it didn’t even stop you for a second to question it, isn’t it time to get off Windows?

      I’m not even going to recommend an OS, just anything but Windows. Fucking Apple is more trustworthy.

        That’s a depressingly probable reason even though you meant it as techno-babble. It is actually possible that the machine doesn’t have enough NPU power!

        isn’t it time to get off Windows?

        I’m already using Linux everywhere I can both personally and at work, heck even my work laptop is running Linux. The blocker on my work desktop is that the remote access tool I use multiple times a day doesn’t have a functional Linux version.

        I could switch my work desktop over to Apple but I’ve never liked MacOS.
