nostr:npub1su4t3c2h2fl2ws6hfcnn5r7jdn87qvhvaafe5uv3hcwygxz3rjssf6a0dw oh well. They didn't provide Cortana in my country anyway, so I'm impartial about this change.

nostr:npub1su4t3c2h2fl2ws6hfcnn5r7jdn87qvhvaafe5uv3hcwygxz3rjssf6a0dw I had some fun conversations with her. Long long time ago now. Crazy.

nostr:npub1su4t3c2h2fl2ws6hfcnn5r7jdn87qvhvaafe5uv3hcwygxz3rjssf6a0dw I managed to permanently disable Cortana
I wonder how long it will be before the AI co pilot is the permanently disabled
nostr:npub1su4t3c2h2fl2ws6hfcnn5r7jdn87qvhvaafe5uv3hcwygxz3rjssf6a0dw this news is really sad, because Cortana was much more capable than OK Google, in the short commercial life span of Windows Phone / Windows 10 Mobile. It was even much more useful without an Internet connection than the Google assistant.

nostr:npub1su4t3c2h2fl2ws6hfcnn5r7jdn87qvhvaafe5uv3hcwygxz3rjssf6a0dw Forgot it even existed. Used to be the first thing I used to get rid off.
nostr:npub1su4t3c2h2fl2ws6hfcnn5r7jdn87qvhvaafe5uv3hcwygxz3rjssf6a0dw f*cking finally. Cortana was so annoying. Out of nowhere starts talking if she can help in the install process…
