Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Can the NPU be used for practical purposes other than generative AI? If not, I don't need it.

I don't even want Windows 11 specifically because of AI. It's intrusive, unnecessary, and the average person has no use for it. The only time I have used AI for anything productive was when I needed to ask some very obscure questions for Linux since I'm trying to get rid of Windows entirely.

Oh hey, I got one of those buttons on my new laptop that literally never booted into Windows. Pressing it Linux says it's "Meta + CTRL" (I think), which is pretty useful. Got it for the good price/performance/build-quality ratio.

Didn't yet find a good use for that fancy NPU, the XDNA driver just arrived a month ago or so. Perhaps for use with Upscayl or something actually useful.
