My blood pressure rises everytime i use Enterprise Copilot at work. It seems they truncate message history heavily (to save input token costs?) and Copilot forgets the last thing you told it in the chat. It is like a real-life version of Momento (<a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209144/) mixed with Waiting for Gadot (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot), pretending to be in league with Anthropic.

  When people ask me why I don't have any Windows machine at home, I say "for health reasons". It really raises my blood pressure and at some point I realised it's not worth it risking my health over it. You could use the same to get away from Copilot.

    I only have one Windows install left and I only have it to (1) play some games with Windows-only anti-cheat and (2) play my flight simulator, where the hardware is finnicky to get working on Linux. And honestly, (2) seems to be becoming less of a hassle every month, especially now you can throw agents at the driver issues.
