They're so smart they're stupid.
A year and a bit ago, I bought this laptop. I mostly use it for writing, but I also use it to read online, and to play some solitaire, and some match-three games. I had my music on it, and downloaded a separate music player because I hate the one that comes with microsoft products.
End of November, Microsoft started pushing their AI "assistant" into everything.
Including Word.
I let my subscription lapse, and bought Atticus.
Fast forward a bit to last month. When the Microsoft updates went to do their thing.
"You don't have enough room on your C drive for this update. Use our smart tool to free up space for the update."
Say what, now? I do not have a lot of data, and this laptop was supposed to have an enormous amount of space.
Well. Come to find out, it does...but on a separate partition.
All of my data has to live elsewhere, and most of my play-programs had to be uninstalled.
Because somebody had the BRILLIANT idea to make the DATA partition more than 2/3 of the total space.
And now I can't figure out how to get my music player to find the music files on my jump drive.
I seriously want to head-desk the bright boy that decided that ALL laptops MUST have a partition because of COURSE everybody has to restore to factory settings sometimes. Because the internet is for porn. Right?
