We've used the term "assistant" rather loosely over the past few years. In part, that's due to the aspirational marketing of companies like Google and its "Google Assistant," which has provided answers to spoken questions and not much more. And we will tolerate those machines anticipating some of our preferences: autofilling commands, suggesting movies, and even automatically ordering refills as we run out of ink or milk. Knowing that we typically order orange chicken over chow mein? OK, fine.
Copilot wants to know all about you
Microsoft's, um, thinking different. It wants to proactively offer you reminders and suggestions. How? By assigning a Copilot a "memory": your nephew's birthday and what gifts he might like, the foods you enjoy, and what movies you like. It all sounds very much like an advertising profile, and that's probably what it is.
And if Microsoft's Copilot starts to recognize you as a person, Microsoft hopes you might begin to think of Copilot as a unique individual, too.

This outdoor home security camera comes with its own solar panel base, which means you won't have to worry about wiring it up to power. And since it wirelessly connects to your Wi-Fi network, it doesn't need internet cables either. Just make sure it's within range of your router.
Video quality is fine with 1080p images and color night vision at up to 30 feet. You'll get notifications to your phone when people and vehicles are detected, and that's without a paid subscription. (Some competitors put features like that behind a paywall.) But if you want to store footage in the cloud, you will need a subscription. (Alternatively, you can just plug in a 512GB microSD card and store your recordings locally.)
Other highlights include two-way audio (so you can listen in to what's happening outside your house and even chat with visitors) as well as support for Amazon Alexa and Google Home (so you can control it with hands-free voice and other compatible smart home devices).
It's simple but practical, and now even more affordable because it's on sale. If you want a hassle-free solar-powered security camera, it's hard to find one better at this price. Grab the Tapo SolarCam C402 kit for $40 before this limited-time deal expires!
