15 PhD applications complete....that was...A LOT 😂. Back to regularly scheduled programming.

ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al PC with Copilot at the center of it all. Here's how to get rid of Copilot completely from your computer (1/3)

ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 1/ Settings App > Personalization > Taskbar > Other System Tray Icons > Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off This hides Copilot from your taskbar

(9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value

@forgoodcode 3/ > Name the value "TurnOffWindowsCopilot’ > Double-click the name of the value > Set the "Value Data" to 1 > Restart your computer Congrats! Copilot is now completely gone from your computer. Hope this helps

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

They make protein in gummy bear instead of powder form. 🤯

Stunning

Check on your friends who tell you they're fine. #fine #mentalhealth #checkonyourstrongfriends

If you have even the slightest respect for your own work, don't touch this with a ten foot pole.

Ordered the best local cheesecake around here a week in advance. Drove 90 min each way to pick up said cheesecake, because I NEEDED a cheesecake......they didn't have my cheesecake....

Yay!! I'm so glad it arrived safely!!!

Yay book mail! My The Call of Azure Book Box from @raynehawthorne.bsky.social arrived! The book swag included is crazy like always...even though the mermaid tail candy bracelet may have been devoured before getting back to the house.

Overheard:

“Are you a man of faith?”
“I used to do yoga. Now I take Xanax and drink.”
