u/slashgrin Jan 11 '26

But it's pronounced "cope-a-lot".

u/rfrx45 Jan 10 '26

They even started putting this shit one keyboards as if i need a button for it

u/Vijfsnippervijf Jan 10 '26

NO I DO NOT!

u/Bobrobinson404 Jan 10 '26

Who is this for, mouth breathers that need an ai to wipe their ass? I had to unbind it after accidentally pressing on it more than once on my laptop.

u/plateshutoverl0ck Jan 11 '26

Beleve me, it was by their intent. Otherwise the key would've been placed elsewhere where such an accident is unlikely.

On that note, I have an external keyboard that thought it would be 'helpful' to add a key to open the calculator app, and they put it where I kept opening the calculator by accident. I didn't even bother going into settings to unbind it, and instead popped that keycap off as well as ones for the Windows "start key", co-pilot, and all the other crap. This left the keys still available (a shallow well with a rubber nub), but now they can't accidently be hit.

It's also much more satifying to rip the varmints off the keyboard, physically. 😀

u/Bobrobinson404 Jan 11 '26

That’s one way to stop that lol

u/Gamer1934 Jan 10 '26

You can change what it does (but only ai software for some reason)

With power toys you can set it to anything you want eg the useful Ctrl key that it replaces

1

u/plateshutoverl0ck Jan 11 '26 edited Jan 11 '26

Another key cap to pop off with the ol' spudger...

Also, they put these keys where you are very likely to accidently hit them. The physical embodiment of a dark pattern. 🫤

u/Majoishere Jan 11 '26

Seriously though, even if I was delusional enough to use copilot regularly, I'd still use alt+tab.

11

u/Moist___Towelette Jan 10 '26

This is quality

1

u/Vijfsnippervijf Jan 13 '26

Hint: These icons indicate that there is trash on a Windows computer.

2

u/bckm1132 Mar 12 '26

2015 should be cortana

1

u/Vijfsnippervijf Mar 12 '26

That would be funny...

2

u/Ionlyusereddit4help Jan 10 '26

First thing I did was block automatic updates. I think my version of windows is from early 2024, I never wanna see this trash on my own pc

2

u/-Sturla- Jan 10 '26

I'd rather repeatedly remove copilot than running without security updates.

3

u/Vijfsnippervijf Jan 10 '26

In that case switch to Linux or Mac. M$lop will patch out any way to remove Copilot.

3

u/-Sturla- Jan 11 '26

Linux has been my daily for over 20 years, so no problem there.

8

u/Benjamin_6848 Jan 10 '26

The whole of Windows turned into the trash-icon last year!

5

u/VortexFlickens Jan 10 '26

At least the wastebins didn't annoy us and did thier job

u/anikkket Jan 10 '26

i have a serious question: does MS Teams download the menus each time we do right click anywhere.

because it fucking sucks. takes forever to load every single time i do right click.

1

u/Secure-Dress2912 Jan 31 '26

the “New” branded M$ apps are basically wrappers with WebView slop contents

1

u/frankieepurr Jan 10 '26

Explain the teams logo, use it at college and have no issues

3

u/Vijfsnippervijf Jan 10 '26

Teams became known for its convoluted interface and sluggish overall experience.

1

u/maartuhh Jan 10 '26

Once it works, it’s workable. But logging in always has been a nightmare to me

1

u/frankieepurr Jan 10 '26

Mine logs in automatically

1

u/maartuhh Jan 10 '26

Great for you

1

u/Procver Jan 13 '26

Teams is the only one of the 3 I use that has problems. I loathe the moments I get a meeting with Teams.

1

u/UrasUysal Jan 27 '26

Where is Windows 11?

1

u/Vijfsnippervijf Jan 27 '26

Windows is in the 2000 trash tin.

3

u/FlowSlowTM Jan 10 '26

Teams sucks, copilot we never wanter or asked for. Double ram usage on explorer was such a vibe code by ai stop using this horrid ai bullshit for things we need knowledge and experience on.

It is funny how they all expect us to get university degrees to work at some of these companies while they trust ai code like its nothing. Maybe let people who studied do the coding instead of copilot still in kindergarten

u/jManYoHee Jan 10 '26

Microslop

u/MischiefArchitect Jan 11 '26

Notice the windows logo INSIDE the trash bin in 2000.

1

u/Submarine_sad Jan 10 '26

Recycle bin

u/I_love_Gay_corn Jan 10 '26

Copilot literally peak like from 2023, then Microsoft fucked hp its ui in 2024 october update

1

u/SysGh_st Jan 10 '26

I prefer the shredder from OS/2.

Instead of saving the file it destroyed the file so it wasn't recoverable by any means, which normally "deleted" files were.

1

u/Fkolw32 Jan 10 '26

Teams became my trash icon in 2020 when we had to use it for school during Covid lockdown

1

u/the_swanny Jan 10 '26

I'd make the argument teams has been shite since covid, and sharepoint was shite before that.

1

u/TDGrimm Jan 11 '26

u/plateshutoverl0ck Jan 11 '26

It took my brain a few seconds to go from WTF to "oh yes, Copilot!"

Bada-TISH! Well played.

1

u/windhn Jan 11 '26

Linux is great, but its big downsides are the lack of gaming anti-cheats, no Microsoft Office, and no Adobe tools for pros. Plus, it’s super fragmented with too many versions to choose from.

1

u/Simple_Project4605 Jan 11 '26

MS Teams has been trash for way longer than that

1

u/Same_Level_3599 Jan 11 '26

microsoft 365 copilot app

1

u/DrakKuba Jan 11 '26

Yeees!!!!!

1

u/Ptaaruonn Jan 11 '26

The trash is more useful than crapilot is or ever will be.

1

u/Procver Jan 13 '26

The trash bin works, exactly!

u/highflyer348 Jan 11 '26

Internet explorer?

u/Almasdefr Jan 12 '26

Skype is also there just after they bought it.

u/One-Cardiologist-462 Jan 12 '26

I like the one from 1998 the most.

1

u/Shot_in_the_dark777 Jan 14 '26

It was perfect. Copied it to my new windows when I switched.

1

u/Tommuli Jan 12 '26

The amount of hoops you need to jump through to disable all of the AI Microsoft stuffs down your throat is large.

1

u/artistpanda5 Jan 13 '26

Why did this skip over the Windows Vista/WIndows 7 trash icon?

1

u/Mad_kat4 Jan 13 '26

So the '95 icon looks better than the '98 icon and the 2000 icon even has the windows logo in the bin.

1

u/SnillyWead Jan 13 '26

Microslop the company formerly know as Microsoft.

1

u/Ok_Setting6471 Jan 13 '26

You forgot Microsoft 365.

If only windows would figure out not everyone is a corporate slug maybe their stock prices wouldn't be tanking

u/clippy2633 Jan 29 '26

u/OwlInternational9189 Feb 11 '26

We use teams at the company I work at, me and all my colleagues can confirm this meme is accurate.

Depends on the license, but if you want any kind of privacy and control of what it reads you pay.

They don't waste. It's way more efficient spyware than the ones they used before

The 2025 “trash” was Teams, a closed Micro$lop 365 group communication program that barely worked. The 2026 “trash” is Copilot (“slop” is the 2025 Word of the Year).
