  • Just based on what I've seen from other AI implementations (including Windows Recall), it seems like he was at least right that it's a security nightmare.

    I'm not saying he said that out of the goodness of his heart or whatever. He definitely only said it out of jealousy or some other self-serving reason.

    My broken clock statement wasn't meant to be taken as a compliment. It's the opposite. He's been wrong so many times that I'd gotten used to just pointing and laughing at anything he says or does. And it's gotten to the point that I'm genuinely surprised he actually said something "right" for once, even if it was for his own selfish reasons.

  • In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk shared concerns about whether Apple and OpenAI will protect users’ information.

    He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”

  • These days, I only ever use Reddit to find answers and to comment in one small community I probably could not live without. I've drastically cut down on my Reddit usage since whole API debacle.

    (Don't ask about trying to move that community to Lemmy. Already had someone ask that repeatedly the last time I mentioned this. They've polled their users, and they're not moving.)

  • Do you mean New Old Reddit or Old Old Reddit? /hj

    No, seriously, they're apparently working on a New New Reddit to replace their half-baked New Old Reddit (and presumably their still-working-perfectly Old Old Reddit).

  • They do have an option to enable history, but I have it turned off.

    Actually, that "setting" is there just for show. It can't be turned on. Underneath the setting, it says

    Currently this option can not be turned on. Kagi does not save any searches by default. In the future we may add features that will utilize your search history and then we will allow you to enable this.

  • I installed Mint on a USB to give it a go.

    My wifi driver doesn't work on it. I have to plug my phone in to use it as a tethered hotspot to get it to connect. And I tried what a lot of the guides said online. Nothing.

  • I'd say I have the technical chops. I just don't have the time and energy needed to try to fix something.

    I'm also the kind of person that, if everything's not working exactly the way I want it to, then I need to fix it right now. So I know I'd waste hours trying to fix something that (for me) just works on Windows.

  • To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I've always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I've sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn't run as well as it did beforehand.

    It's like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.

  • They're not trying to hide it, though.

    Everyone knows that's what they do. And that's why they continue doing it that way. It's a way to say, "There's nothing you can do to stop me, now shut up and obey."

  • When I was setting up my new computer late last year, OneDrive wanted to sync everything in my user folders to OneDrive. No idea why. I knew it'd never fit everything anyway. To get it to stop, I had to create a brand new user account without a Microsoft account attached, move everything over to the new account, and delete the old account.

    Now, I only have OneDrive sync my college stuff (homework, projects, notes, PowerPoints, etc.). Nothing else syncs to OneDrive. I backup my PC using a program called Backblaze instead.
