Oh. Install PDF24 then. You can exchange the Edge marketing for PDF24 marketing splash screen.

the next Windows will be awesome, they'll make yet another new top layer we all have to dig through to get to the ancient command panels
probably a command panel powered by AI

They are based on other models typically

I bet future Windows OS editions will be entirely generated by CoPilot.

It makes sense from a design evolution perspective.
AI can already generate web-apps in real-time based on your prompts - check Google Labs.
Stretching that to an entirely NPU dependent OS, in conjunction with CPU and a bit of GPU, would be logical.

Generate an OS? None for now.

This is beginning to happen. On December 27, Boris Cherny, the lead developer on Claude Code, said “in the last thirty days, 100% of my contributions to Claude Code were written by Claude Code” — 40,000 lines of new code. In the coming months, then, we should expect Claude Code’s already remarkable capabilities to improve extremely rapidly — with those improvements coming, in large part, from the system itself.
summer cedar
I think that's legit what they want
But yeah, if you integrate basic operations into an AI-gen OS, there's a possibility a lot of security considerations from the past would become moot.
For more complicated stuff, AI-gen OS might not be great, but I don't know enough about that to hypothesise. 🙂

Nice

Anything with 16GB VRAM at least.
median wraith
well the 5070 is 12GB
the TI is 16
but don't seems to me thats a good reason to charge 600€ extra euros
aka double the price
summer cedar
Ti is more expensive because TI(s) perform better than regular models.
It's basically the performance grift.
median wraith
TI on this one gives a 20% at best performance increase
summer cedar
Charge lots of money for underperforming UPGRADES and then charge MOAR money for the actual GPUs.
That's why I bought a Ti, instead of a regular one.
My 4060ti 16GB is amazing even now. 🙂
median wraith
600€ vs 1100€ just for 4GB of VRAM and 65 vs 80FPS ?
summer cedar
And reliability and more TFLOPS or something.
median wraith
my 3070 TI is 8GB sadly
summer cedar
You can find exact figures on hardware comparing sites.
Yeah, you already have a Ti, so you know the difference. Don't buy a non-Ti.
And don't buy anything under 16GB VRAM.
summer cedar
That was a different time.
When hardware was built to last and software was rudimentary.
median wraith
paying double for getting double time seems absurd XD
summer cedar
We are leap-frogging now. 😄
median wraith
my 3070 TI was less expensive than the 3070
summer cedar
But yeah, buy a Ti.
Also, if you have $10,000, you can buy one of the Rockwells.
median wraith
700€ +-
even now the 300€ difference between the 3070 vs 5070 don't seems reasonable
summer cedar
even now the 300€ difference between the 3070 vs 5070 don't seems reasonable
reasonable is not something you want to bank on for future-proof hardware.
Just buy a Ti with 16-24GB VRAM.

'Similar' is important. So long as NVidia has more TFLOPS or whatever matters for AI-gen and RT, they'll stay up there.
