And I mean everything: Apps, video calls, files, browser activities and login details are all fair game. It’s exclusive to their new Copilot+ line of PCs. I’ll pass, thanks.
You’ll experience osteoarthritis if you ride a bike instead of walking. Life is wheelie good, because this healthy habit can significantly reduce knee pain and even help you live longer … and not be two‑tired.
Dead end: A man turned his terminally ill father into a chatbot. After recording hours of his life story, it answers him in Dad’s voice. Would you want your family members to do this for you? If not, talk to them or add a line to your estate documents.
