The new CoPilot app looks promising (very familiar for Claude users 😂), but why rush the release when it is obviously not ready? Discover is not showing on Windows the same that it shows on Android, and the chat shows this...

Evidence that whoever predicted catastrophic market crashes was wrong a year ago, or five, or...ever. It is a question of how long can wait before selling, not of investing being risky per se 👇.

I asked Copilot to make a funny image saying that my AI has unlimited tokens and is called brain. It replied saying it was "cooking a goofy brain with unlimited tokens" and produced this 🤣 👇

It's 35°C outside, in the shade, and the minimum temperature last night was 24°C. So hot...

Even @github.com is confused about their rules. I canceled my CoPilot subscription due to recent changes. If you cancel a personal plan, you can't re-subscribe (they do not accept new subscribers at the moment). But you get an e-mail saying the opposite. Consistent communication takes effort...😂

Too many ignore this point. If only they looked at data, they would worry much less about crashes and much more about starting as early as possible to invest 👇

It's Windows update day again... feels like getting a fresh OS on a regular basis given the size of these updates 😂

Quick question to CoPilot "Are there routers made in the US, in compliance with the new FTC ban?" Based on answer, let's hope my router does not die anytime soon 😂

Pardon the skepticism, but what would be the alternative? Granted historical data don't guarantee future performance, and diversifying is a good idea, but take a look at the NASDAQ from 1992 to today (with the dotcom bubble in it)👇

The USD hasn't been this low since 2021 😭. Hopefully, it gets closer to the Euro before summer travel 😅.

Discussing with AI about AI replacing traditional development tools. This is what CoPilot with GPT-5 concluded (clearly it's not running the marketing department, but it feels surprisingly honest 😅):

Yet another unnecessary reminder to set up OneDrive to back up data to protect them in case of ransomware attack. First, it was already set up choosing not to use the feature. Second, OneDrive synchronizes data, it doesn't run from time to time. How would that help in case of malware? 🤔

I've taken this photo one morning during the last holidays in 🇮🇹. Beautiful colors (entirely natural light and no filters), and surface tension at work.

Hmm not sure if this is a serious limitation or a proof of self-consciousness 🤣. I asked Windows CoPilot to make coffee, and this is the answer ☕😂:
