I share the same opinion as yourself and gave you an upvote. LLM are a truly fascinating technology and I’m amazed by how little we understand on how it even does what it does. That said the process that got us here and what they are currently being used for is amoral at best

May I suggest using Signal messenger over WhatsApp.

WhatsApp does use the Signal messaging protocol but I don’t trust meta not to modify their implementation of it.

Signal is a privacy at all costs foundation.

This is really cool and will be useful. My second thought was oh great now my smart TV can see how excited I am watching their injected ads and how many people saw it too. One of the many reasons to never connect modern TVs to the Internet.

I am using lingodeer to learn korean, but i know it also has Japanese. I was using duolingo for korean and Japanese, but the korean lessons were terrible.

This is the first time hearing about Tuta, Thank you

I recommend Ollama, its easy to setup and the cli can download and run llms. With some more techsavviness you can get openwebui as a nice ui.

You are absolutely correct, SSD’s do have a finite amount of write capacity and SpinRite will lower that due to it’s very nature, at least 6.1 will. However I think you are over estimating the amount of wear it will place on the drive.

I understand the objection and it’s a valid one. I have used it on my boot SSD to restore it’s performance to great effect, do I recommend using it every year on a SSD no i don’t.

As this post is mostly about data recovery, I still believe it’s a valid option and the performance increase is just a nice bit of bonus information.

One of the interesting side effects of running it in an ssd is it can speed it up, it doesn’t sound like it would be the case but it does.

None the less its still a valid option to consider.

If it a failing disk, and you dont have any backup, and its important data.

Have a look at a product callef SpinRite. It may bring the disk back from the dead long enough to get the data off

Then 3 2 1 backup strategy for your future needs.

Assuming BitLocker wasnt enabled and if so you backed up your key. Otherwise your data is gone.

Closes one I can think of is, The Fair Phone https://www.fairphone.com

Well yet another product to fall victim to IBM’s poorly integrated, poorly documented, terribly supported integrated solutions championed by ignorant marketing teams to C levels

I don’t like IBM

Will not exactly as you explained and other have already pointed out this type of network exists. This may peak your interest.
