It isn't about flipping a switch, it about how many times I've had to flip that fucking switch because a company keeps changing how I have my PC setup because they want more money.

They've never had this feature before.

And as far as I’m aware Copilot is a service they use to harvest your data and make money from.

Nothing is free. Your data has value, stop giving it away in trade for some crap that may or may not be worth it while these companies make bank off you.

They’ve never had this feature before.
