Next month, Microsoft will begin automatically installing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on Windows devices outside of the EEA region that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps, Bleeping Computer writes.
"The Microsoft 365 Copilot app integrates the AI-powered Copilot assistant with Microsoft 365 suite apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as other features like Notebooks and AI agents.
"Redmond also advised admins to notify their organizations' helpdesk teams and users before the app is forcibly installed on their devices "to reduce confusion and support requests."
"The rollout will start in early October and be completed by mid-November; however, the Microsoft 365 Copilot app will not be installed on systems within the European Economic Area (EEA)."
The new AI mantra: You want it. You get it. We got what you need. You ain't gotta sweat it; we're gonna make you bleed.

I've been searching for weeks for a good web client for my #GoToSocial instance – and then I finally actually read the text on the login page. 🙄
Classic case of missing the obvious! 🌳
So I quickly set up a new container with #MastoFE in #Proxmox and... nice! 🚀
Really like it! It's the familiar Mastodon web client (which is pretty good), but fully optimized for #GTS.

It has been her childhood dream to be a dentist, and with hard work, she achieved an amazing 98.1% in Tawjihi (a national secondary school examination in Jordan and Palestine). Due to the genocide, she is without her books, dental equipments, and essentials such as clothes. Judging from her fundraiser, she's stuck in Rafah.
