It’s about on par with these tools no? Running a closed source configurator that heavily alters the core OS isn’t really something I would expect a responsible IT team to do. Doubly so if you are in any sort of regulated industry.

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 are you bought a surfboard. IIRC Comcast has a page of third

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 pieces out of orbit would be a huge focus.

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 extremely negative. I disagree that it’s inherently rude or

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 our work. It’s a very different style of work where politenes

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 reasons.

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.

by McAtNite 3y ago
Not really. I expect those users will just use copilot.

by McAtNite 3y ago
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 addressed with the wide number of cloud offerings from OpenA

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 Nvidia in this discussion.

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. From my point of view the only person who would be likely to

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 expensive GPU.

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 would default to using the AI built into Windows while the m

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 for more moderate games, but heavy particles and things woul

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 love Fedora and run it on my main desktop. That being said I al

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 couldn’t upgrade my personal computer to Win11.

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 bundle it into Windows, but intrusively forcing a user to expla

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 late at night, and it I don’t think I really summed the exp

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 fool’s errand. Their auditors views and interpretations var

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 you receive in comparison to others in a given time window. I

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 a system that rewards a monthly crypto amount based on the

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 because people are trying to transfer gigs of data using it.

Thanks for this link, I was actually chatting with someone today about good VPN providers and went to privacy tools. I was very confused why the top recommended VPN was Nord with an affiliate link. Your link cleared up my confusion. It’s a

I have, and while it’s not perfect I’ve found that it makes a great tutor. I’ve asked it a lot of programming questions where my starting point was 0, and my biggest takeaway is it will give you exactly what you ask for and nothing else. Th

Make the channels that those ads are pushed through. Both are fundamentally negative for people in the long run, but I think the superiority complex comes from the naive idea that if you’re the place the garbage is sent to then it’s somehow

Strange, I also have 1Blocker on my iPad, and it blocks YouTube ads just fine in safari.
