I tried Microsoft Support but that was a bit comical. Turned out I knew more about 365 Copilot on the Mac than they did. Maybe the support assistant was really Copilot? Bottom line, on the Mac you can't really disable Copilot in the installed Office apps. You can stop it from working.

I'm not renewing my Microsoft 365 account in July.

Every Word document now has the Copilot icon and the text "Select the icon or press [keystrokes] to draft with Copilot". Having turned off connected experiences, it doesn't work, but the text still appears in my Word document as I write.

Real To Real Cacophony wasn't bad either.

It's a damned fine box set, splendidly put together.

They're on Bandcamp, and jolly good they are too. Hadn't come across them before.

Fire Engines, Win, Nectarine No. 9, The Sexual Objects - all been fantastic bands.

I've still got my original vinyl copy despite it being stolen in a burglary. I found my LPs in a secondhand record shop and called the police. They were impounded as evidence for several months!

Is there actual evidence of abuse of these chipsets? Or is this national hysteria about overseas companies?

My box set came with Dave Formula's CD. I already had a copy!

I've had these albums on rotation since the set arrived. A lovely package. Looking forward to the rumoured box of live albums.

I appear to have number 71. Still working through the box - a very nice package. Now I need to resurrect a Blu-Ray player.

Boo! Not today, perhaps tomorrow...

An excellent review of the potential impact of this. I had a free Strava account. Never really used Strava and never used it to funnel data to other apps (e.g. intervals.icu). But this was just the nudge I needed to cancel my account.
