And the garbage takes itself out.

Noble intent? If so, lurk moar ffs.

I love how you ignore all the comments that actually tried to help OP. Or maybe you posted early on but you can’t be bothered to go back and edit your response. And then you pretend that AI tries to help us do anything, as if it had motivation or volition. Come on now.

Of course we can blame them. There’s a ton of great help available, but perhaps they’re like you, and their ego is so fragile that they can’t be troubled to scroll past a few trolls to find the perfect answers.

But I think we’re all used to dealing with trolls. Everyone knows how to ignore the trolls. I think the bigger problem is that people are afraid to show ignorance, even if they definitely are ignorant, like OP was here. Imagine that, you don’t want to look foolish on the internet in front of people who don’t know who you are and never will, so you turn to a solution that doesn’t work and actually has the potential to ruin the hardware you bought… So yeah, that’s strange, that’s not rational, we can give psychological explanations, but none of them make the person in question appear reasonable.

Oh dear God, what were you thinking? Why did you turn to chatgbt knowing that you could have actually found a website that told you what to do correctly written by someone who actually did it before?

The almost equivalent claim is that going to work sucks. This second claim is perhaps more instructive.

This is a fallacious. If you have a very small set of users, what exact data is in the database that you would be upset at losing? Maybe your contacts and your calendar. Which you could back up manually, which might actually be simpler than backing up the database.

Well that’s kind of misleading, right? If they didn’t set one up, then it’s probably SQLite. But if they did set one up, that was years ago, and who cares what it is, if it’s working.
