    That’s true, graduating into my “once in a lifetime” economic meltdown made the second one barely even register.

    This is demonstrably false to anyone with one of these devices. I can page over to my podcast app that I used days ago and find it is exactly where I left it.

    Historically the surfboard has been the go to option for Comcast. I can’t say what the current best option is, but if you purchased your own modem in the previous decade chances ar…

    This made me consider what sort of orbital archeology would take place. I imagine it would be a gold mine for anyone trying to study that civilization, and attempting to snatch pie…

    I think much like the author’s writing it’s a very polarizing thing, and it either clicks with people or doesn’t. For those that it doesn’t I can understand the viewpoint that it’s…

    Different strokes I guess. I personally appreciate the straight forward approach to this style versus the normal corporate environment.

    One of my favorite people I ever worked with was like this. We could disagree on an approach, I’d call him a moron, he’d tell me to go fuck myself, then we’d laugh and go back to o…

    The general gist I’m getting from this comment section is a general lack of awareness over DLP and security. The thing half these comments are complaining about exist for very good…

    Thanks for the explanation. I guess my only hope for not looking like I had a bad opinion is people’s intertia to move beyond CoPilot.

    Not really. I expect those users will just use copilot.

    Would they not prefer to develop for CoPilot? In comparison this seems niche.

    Unfortunately I’m not aware of the reference to the HN Dropbox thread. I suppose my counter point is only that the user base that relies on simplified solutions is largely already …

    Oh my apologies for the wild goose chase. I thought they had added support for Windows already. Should be possible to run it through WSL, but I suppose that’s a solid point for Nvi…

    I suppose I’m just struggling to see the value add. Ollama already makes it dead simple to get a local LLM running, and this appears to be a more limited vendor locked equivalent. …

    I’m referring to CoPilot which for your average non technical user who doesn’t care whether something is local or not has the huge benefit of not requiring the purchase an expensiv…

    I’m struggling to understand the point of this. It appears to be a more simplified way of getting a local LLM running on your machine, but I expect less technically inclined users …

    I’ve used it in the past and the results were pretty decent. I strongly recommend hardwiring everything to avoid stutters. Tried it over WiFi a couple of times, and it worked well …

    Those are two very different philosophies to Linux. Fedora is much more bleeding edge than Debian (by a lot) so the question really comes down to which you prefer. I absolutely lov…

    I’ve seen some guides in arduous ways to get around the Microsoft Account requirement, but I can’t say from experience. I abandoned Windows when the hardware requirements meant I c…

    This line of thinking only makes sense if you actively use OneDrive. If you don’t and have no interest in using it why leave it running? It’s bad enough that they automatically bun…

    Public record being official statements from business or government entities? I’m not aware of any personally. Really I feel like I should clarify the above since I wrote it pretty…

    I’ve have the unpleasant task of interacting with auditors from the SEC regularly in a heavily regulated industry. Trying to get any sort of real, factual guidelines from them is a…

    I may be wrong, but I believe this is how the subreddit already works. They set a total amount of crypto to be released, and it goes in proportion to the total number of upvotes yo…

    It absolutely will. I had toyed with the idea of something like this before, but wasn’t sure what the behavior would look like until I found the cryptocurrency subreddit. They have…

    I often use airdrop to transfer small, one off files like PDFs or images. For larger files I transfer through my NAS. I’ve never had any issues using airdrop. I wonder if it’s beca…
