    But form factor and energy efficiency may be helped by some of the changes that producers are doing. Why complain about those, then? Diy is still possible. Looks like nas is becomi…

    Looks like a bad offsite handling, both in your case and linked article. I feel that offsites work best when you let people interact on their own schedule, pace and topics. Trying …

    You are right. I linked a differently formatted article with the same content. I don’t know why I didn’t initially notice such text.

    I have noticed the same for a lot of long-running software projects. The estimate is created at the start an never revised. Projects can and will fail or run late; but heck; a 6-mo…

    I think this should become harder to do in general, not just for copyright infringement. A third party alleges an infringement, they do little work since it's AI generated, and the…
