Automakers should not even have access to any of your information!

Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott thinks LLM “scaling laws” will hold despite criticism

Given Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and strong marketing of its own Microsoft Copilot AI features, the company has a strong interest in maintaining the perception of continued progress, even if the tech stalls.

I believe this sums it up.

browser defaults on samsung

ItsComplicated @sh.itjust.works 2y ago

Not sure if it will work for you, but I installed Firefox and made that the default. Then changed it back to Samsung as the default so now I get the pop up for which one to open with.

Yes! Thank you. I have it installed and everything seems to work now, if a bit slow.

I am working on what type of security/virus stuff to use other than basic common sense. Windows once installed a virus in an update. Lots to learn. Once I get passed the security hurdle I will use it for a while until I am confident enough with the system to replace Windows on my main laptop. I really look forward to that day!

RCS vs SMS/MMS?

ItsComplicated @sh.itjust.works 2y ago

But don't you just get tired of jumping through hoops for every little thing these days?

Big tech needs to stop being evil. There, problem solved, right.....right.....ha

They are displacing text messaging and making it look like nothings changed.

They get more of your data, so there's that.

I am still unable to verify the iso. I installed gnupg but it keeps saying file not found.

I wanted to add an additional reply thanking you again for the screenshots.

These visuals helped put the worded instructions in context for me so I was successful in creating and installing the bootable drive.

Thanks. These are the instructions having a time with. I am going to take a break. I think I have just stared at it too long overthinking it!

Is there a way to check it after install before it is connected to the internet?

I did use one of the mirrors on the Linux download page.

Slow going but better than my first attempt. I at least made the bootable usb now so this is huge progress for me!

Selling pre-loaded USB sticks would be very cool, but people would have to be interested enough to spend £20

I am one that would happily purchase something like that. I finally made the bootable drive but am not sure if the install is verified. There was no sha txt file to compare. I just haven't figured it out yet

My apologies. My laptop had Windows already installed therefore I haven't had to do anything other than turn it on and follow the onscreen instructions.
