For general information, i generally see GPT or gemini as a last resort. Search engines give you a bunch of results varying in accuracy right away, when the search engine just doesn't get it, ill ask gemini and it can usually answer commonly known questions with accuracy. For programming...

If your frustration is that you don't want to do it yourself, then i think bash scripts could help you out. You can put sed commands (or awk, perl, python, perl, the alternative text manipulation languages) into a bash script. Also, cronjob is specifically used to automate tasks. As far as the...

Bash scripting is certainly a pretty fluid and useful skill to have. Everyone wants to customize their operating system to a degree, except maybe not if you are primarily into macs/apple, or you just use your computer for social media and email.

Laziness and lack of extra hard drive space are two great excuses not to :) For me it's the former, because I must have a couple of terabytes of HDD space lying around.

I personally just put the few important things I have in cloud accounts, and just shrug about the rest. However, if you basically live on your computer, that is a whole other conundrum.

Yes, they don't want you to install linux, only crappy ChromeOS most likely.

I don't use vpns. My workaround is im extremely cautious about what do on the internet, i take the warning signs very seriously, and try very hard not to show anger, hostility, and i try not to buy anything. Plus, linux does help for the viruses.

A full VPN service is almost never free because they have to manage all that traffic and bandwidth. I don't use them, but i've seen it stated multiple times that it's not a good idea without the kill switch (internet shuts off when VPN does). Can any verify the extent that this matters?

What?

Based on your description, private AI sounds intriguing...it's like you can customize it to a greater degree based on how you want to use it. Which service are you using in particular?

To my understanding, GPT4 is the best currently available AI chat bot, but it still makes a lot of mistakes and misinterprets queries.

I bought a VCR not too long ago and a bunch of tapes just cuz nostalgia, and had fun watching videos for a month. Then I was like "these take up so much more space than DVDs and blueray do...", so i gave away the tapes and sold the VCR on ebay. I will always appreciate the crappy VHS look to...

Reason #12: you can't install it on your vcr.

I'm curious: does the PS5 controller connect via a loose USB cable, or is the end that connects to your controller attached to the controller itself? I prefer the Xbox USB cables for computer gaming, they seem to be more standard and work so much better.
