If you throw word behind a firewall with something like little snitch, does copilot disappear? There is probably zero reason word, excel, or powerpoint should need to connect to the internet.

IIRC, excel’s ability to run Python is entirely cloud based, even in the desktop apps. There is, of course, probably zero reason why that would need to be the case either :/

this still makes me super mad.

I was very excited about that feature announcement --- until I realized it was just sending the code to MSFT to parse or whatever.

"Excel understands Python now" would be amazing. What they actually did is completely pointless.

Excel has a sometimes useful feature of gripping data from tables from url.
