- Comment on (LLM) A language model built for the public good 1 week ago:
I use perplexity as my main go to if i want to use an LLM, since they have access to a wide scale of models. It was correct in the cases you mentioned. It’s a tool focused on correctness of information and I’ve had it hallucinate a lot less than other tools.
Give it a shot if you’re looking for one that focuses on correctness of information. It searches the Web and then feeds the results into the model you choose.
You can also tell it to only use academic papers, social discussions, or SEC filings.

- Comment on Google’s Advanced Protection Arrives on Android: Should You Use It? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not weird. When a small company does something like this they lose users and it could damage them. Google doesn’t care because they know people will use them no matter what.

- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 1 month ago:
Thanks for the lead, but I’m afraid I don’t know what to do with these modules. Do they only work with NixOS?
- Comment on Forced E-Waste PCs And The Case Of Windows 11’s Trusted Platform 1 month ago:
Exactly, I have a bunch of weird issues when running Linux on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. So unfortunately I w9nt be switching until the situation improves.
It’s not even about gaming either, virtually all animations are like 2fps, no matter the drivers or power management. I wasted days on this with some guys from the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server, and some with exactly the same laptop don’t have the same issue, but windows runs fine.
It’s a real shame that, maybe on the next laptop!

This was just two weeks ago, and it’s a relatively old device, from 2014. It’s proprietary bullhonky all over that device unfortunately, from the screen brightness to the webcam to the bloody power button.

I wanted to give new life to an old acer laptop/tablet hybrid. I installed Linux, but the webcam and microphone just won’t work no matter what. The power button also doesn’t work.
There’s still a long way to go before any casual user would accept this.

- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 2 months ago:
