#2Getting another decade out of working hardware by writing your own driver is exactly the kind of project LLMs are good for. Low stakes, well-scoped, and the alternative was e-waste.

Seems pretty clear to me.
Nothing exposed beyond the expected surface.
Whining about everything being AI, is worse than the AI itself. Especially when the blog post as a whole is clearly human written. OVERWHELMINGLY so
The actual AI stuff in the article is clearly called out and delineated.

That’s exactly what I figured. Even though I feel it should have been Drobo’s responsibility to at least provide a detailed doc before going under.
They must have sold quite a few of these units, and I figure I’m one of the few (saw someone on Reddit reacting to a post to this with their own vibe-coded dashboard – which of course looks eerily similar) customers that went through such lengths to give their device a few more years. Providing an « official » open-source driver might have prevented some more e-wase – and token use!

I’ll take the « OVERWHELMINGLY » as a compliment, I guess ;).

You’re referencing an argument I never made. I have no problem with the author’s post, I was very specifically complaining about Opus’ barely coherent style of prose.

#8Didn't know macOS is this "literally 1984", it's a bit wild.
It got me to apply some slop of my own. Supposedly there's some new provisioning scheme that'd allow the author to not have to disable SIP: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/provisioning-profil...

You were specifically complaining about Opus’ nauseating style of prose, by calling out a sentence by the author you didn’t immediately comprehend?

Didn't know about this, thank you. I'll look into it.
