I wouldn’t think so, but I honestly don’t know 🤷‍♂️. I know Mesh is based off AltSpaceVR tech, and that didn’t have legs for the avatars either, so that may be why they’re missing at launch.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I think there are plenty of privacy concerns that should be addressed. But I don’t know whether the OCR is processed locally or not. I know the plan for Windows 12 at least is to complete a good amount of the intelligence processing on-device, though that is reliant on specific hardware. And I don’t know how or whether these new features factor into that or not.

I’m not quite sure. I don’t believe Microsoft has detailed exactly how it works yet. Though at the very least, it being baked-in to the Snipping Tool makes it more convenient for the average user.

Yeah, I certainly hope not. I’m fairly confident the two storylines will stay independent from one another.

Yeah, I personally use most of their in-box apps, but it’s great that they’re giving us the option to uninstall some of the ones we don’t want anymore.

@highhomes1994 I hadn’t noticed it before, but I just checked and yeah it shows the same thing for me. I wonder what’s going on with that. 🤔

Well welcome, @StrwbrryJen! 👋 I hope you enjoy the experiences and interactions you’ll have over here.

While I do enjoy reading a physical book with real pages I can turn. I do prefer the convenience eBooks provide. I use both Kindle and Google Play Books, and its great cause I can just read on my phone whenever I have some time to spare, instead of always having to plan ahead and bring a book with me. And it’s also had the added benefit of easier discovery of new reads and authors that I might not have come across otherwise. And I do have a Surface Duo, so I also enjoy how it does emulate that book-like feel when I open it up to read something.

Okay, post created and pinned. Thanks again for the suggestion!

There are a few different things I try to do each day to find little moments of happiness here and there. Anything, no matter how small, can have a bigger impact on our mental health than we may initially think. When I have the time, I like to sit down and do a little bit of coding, or do some design work for a new project I want to start (even though there’s a high chance I’ll move on from it soon 😅). Also getting into a good book is always nice, spending time hiking or just going to a park somewhere, or even a little DIY craft project can be a lot of fun. But when I’m a little busier even little things like music, or journaling, or even a drink I really enjoy can all go a long way in boosting my mood.
