This is not a joke.
This is happening.
'but it's OK that's only if you're a 360 subscriber.'
That they did it at all is what annoys me. Why? Just. WHY?! It's.
NOTEPAD. The program that basically went unchanged since windows 3?
Probably before then? It had LITERALLY ONE JOB....
And Microsoft wants to shove LLM based 'AI' malarkey into it.
Idiocy. Pure. Idiocy.
Want to bet it scrapes everything you type regardless on if you're subscribed?
Long has the joke been about microsoft selling malware. Windows 10 gave
us a nagware screen that literally behaved like ransomware. Now this.
How about micro$oft wordpad? Is there AI in it too?

No, because microsoft killed wordpad last fall.
