I gave up a long time ago hoping Windows would get better. At this point, I just hope it does not get worse.
That way, the original JSON file stays clean and isn’t polluted with extra data.
If you haven’t seen how bad it is, here’s one example: Copilot Terminal. In theory, it should help you with terminal commands. Sounds great. In practice, it installs a chat panel on the right side of your terminal that has zero integration with the terminal itself. It can’t read what’s written, it can’t send commands, it has no context, and the model response time is awful. What’s the point of a “terminal assistant” that can’t actually assist the terminal?
This lack of real integration is basically the core design of most Copilot products. If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid them, good for you. If your company forces you to use them because they’re bundled with a Microsoft license, I genuinely feel your pain.
For example, right now any company can ask for your consent ten times a day until you give up, and once you click “yes” even once, your data begins an eternal journey.
A few months ago, my Samsung TV (which I bought four years ago) suddenly blocked everything and displayed a new agreement on the screen with only two options: Read and Agree. There was no way to use the TV without accepting the agreement.
