Ah, yeah but not at the lower levels like this soldier.

I feel certain that any allegiance he expressed was to protect the well being of his family, rather than a genuine position.

Meh. I don’t think anyone that matters was really fooled.

I’m incredulous.

There was that thread asking what people are using LLMs for and it pretty much came down to “softening language in emails”.

For most jobs LLMs can provide a small productivity bump.

Pretty much non-profit in name only. Some shady hybrid model.

As a point of reference, Lenovo Thinkpad’s have something of a cult following for their reliability and versatility.

My T490s has a USB-C power supply which provides 45w (20v at 2.25a).

The thing is, when docked it’s not only pulling power through that cable, but also network, USB devices, and providing video for 2x monitors in 1920x1080. It’s kind of astonishing to me how much can be crammed in to one little connector. That said, it’s frustrating trying to find a usb cable that works reliably, because as you’d imagine not all USB-C cables support the same specs.

It’s obvious you know more or less all there is to know about this topic. So much so that I suspect you have trouble explaining it to laypersons like me because it’s difficult for you to determine which parts of your knowledge are obvious common knowledge and which parts are specialist knowledge.

Australian here. Torrenting with no vpn is a terrible idea. Right now today there may not be any litigation of end users, but if you think about whether there will be at some point over the next several years? The odds are pretty good, and you’d be the low-hanging fruit.

Your risks diminish dramatically with a vpn.

This selling point is not important to you because you’re not part of Mozilla’s target market. Mozilla already has the 2% of the internet that hangs out on Lemmy. They’re pursuing some of the remaining 98%.
