Sensationalized garbage. It’s not going to be paywalled. Only the AI features are.
Not that I’m using 11, but my response would be: Notepad? No thank you, I’ve got Notepad++. The plus mean it’s better, and it’s got two of them so you know it’s really good shit.
Of all Microsoft products, notepad was the one I trusted the most. Now this!
You’ll do anything besides use Linux
SaaS - Shit as a Service.
Welp, looks like Notepad++ will be getting a ton of new installs.
Have been using it since God knows when. It’s fantastic. Also i edited windows’ registry to replace notpad.exe with npp.
Not to mention it’s far superior.
I think that’s implied and why it will be getting a lot of new installs
I found out that if you don’t like the new win11 notepad with the tabs and all the other bullshit, you can just uninstall it, and the other, older, familiar notepad that was still there all the time, will take over, file type associations and all. This even worked on my work computer, where I am not an admin.
I was quite pleased that I could do this.
That’s actually really funny and I’m wondering if M$ won’t end up removing it down the line just to prevent the fallback being so easy for users (you know how you want to make things hard for your customers when you make products).
Oh good one! I was thinking about the absurdity of having to uninstall notepad when this bullshit started. Now I know it’s just a step. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. Tabs are dumb, auto saving is annoying, and notepad is literally only for tracking my thoughts since I’m a little scatterbrained. Otherwise I’m going to use a better option like sublime or ++.
Tabs are dumb?
Huh? Notepad++ auto saves and has tabs.
I know, right?
I’m more of a fan of notepad 2-mod
I am so glad I left Windows.
It should be noted that you can still use Notepad without a Microsoft account, and users can go as far as removing the Rewrite icon completely from Notepad. Despite the ability to still use the software without an account, Microsoft has received some criticism for implementing what is most definitely a paywall/advertisement for a built-in piece of Windows software.
I’m fairly anti-AI, but I can’t imagine the use case for AI rewrite in Notepad. Word I can at least can see it, but Notepad?
My best guess is that it’s useful, if you specifically just have a snippet of text you want rephrased. Like, imagine you find a paper you want to plagiarize, so you copy some text, paste it into Notepad, click the rewrite-button, and then you can take it from there and paste it into your LaTeX editor. In some sense, Notepad is the minimal UI you need for that, which also starts up quickly.
to be sure
I refuse to believe this is reality.
Imagine if this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Notepad goes subscription, and the world finally snaps.
Uhm WTF
Fucking assholes.
++ then
