“AI PCs bring three clear benefits over traditional PCs,” he said. Lores said latency, the lower cost of running AI locally instead of in the cloud, and not needing to upload data to the cloud are all strong lures for CIOs.
This answers jack shit of why the fuck people want AI at all.
I want a working search engine. I want something to review my writing and suggest changes. I want high quality noise cancellation and background removal. I want high quality speech to text and text to speech.
These are the things I want from AI I don’t really want something training my every want and whim to provide me better ads. But the stuff I listed in the first paragraph here is really advantageous to most people I believe.
True, these sound like the tech execs say when attempting to create the illusion of value, not actually useful innovation.
Man, what a disappointing article, I remember El Reg for being real sharp journalism, not a partner page piece of crap.
Take this revolting example:Many of these PCs were bought during COVID and now we are four [or] five years after they were bought and they will have to be replaced.
Have to be replaced? Just for being 4 years old? Aside from the environmental impact, and aside from W11 being more shit than diarrhoea from a ceiling fan: these PCs work perfectly fine. For both my enterprise and entertainment purposes. New mainboards wouldn’t add much, and neither would W11, which biggest novelties are a broken control panel, a misplaced start menu and - for additional money - an unneeded and immature “AI” that will basically target me ads.
I feel like this article could be 1 sentence. Windows 11 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade, and those that would just accept the upgrade are frequently limited by perfectly good machines which aren’t compatible.
Windows 11 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
Deja vu
Just a few years ago:
Windows 10 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
With time, the normies will acclimate to it, and Windows 11 will become “acceptable”. Just like all the other ones.
