    OP is using Apple so maybe that's why? I use PS weekly and I've never seen it (or anything else) touch my hosts file on Windows. I just verified - nothing beyond my own entries.

    Maybe that's how OpenAI was able to blow $5.73 BILLION dollars on "marketing" i.e. paying politicians and influencers.

    The truly absurd part is that datacenters are barely being built and those that are built can't be turned on because they don't have enough power. Satya Nadella admitted recently t…

    We would love to, but we ran out of tokens.

    Got a 7-year old QNAP NAS recently and wanted to try Jellyfin. Installed, running, indexing... 6 hours later NAS is no longer reachable. Nothing worked so had to hard reboot. After…

    And yet even more nerds than ever are devoting themselves to AI. I just wonder - to what end?

    An ADD/SUM feature on tables was the first plugin I installed. It could be argued this should be part of the TABLE but I guess the dev team has a lot on their plate not to mention …

    Just wait until you want to create a simple table with ADD/SUM.

    I don't know how hard it would be but IMHO adding some kind of permissions dialog(?) akin to Android would go a long way. 99% of Obsidian plugins don't need full disk access, or in…
