The EU isn't listed, because the EU is not a country.

No, it's actually reasonable und perfectly fine. Reputation, trustworthiness, limited/different perspectives exist.

And one sided media does as weil. Or do you expect Fox News to publish an unbiased report just next?

I've yet to understand this argument. If you replace a brown turd with a yellowish turd, it'll still be a turd.

Exactly. I simply don't trust Microsoft enough anymore to choose them as my computers operating system provider. Windows just doesn't feel like something you should do private stuff with due to all that telemetry/data collecting.

If I remember correctly most of the 600s compatibility issues could be worked around by adjusting settings via _early startup control system_. Eg by switching off newer hardware features.

I tried ChatGPT 4 for some time and went back to just using manpages after several wrong results. Sometimes results were bad even after providing information about my platform.

Have there been posts already from people accidentally deleting files caused by trusting LLMs too much?
