Good story mate but next time try and read the subject of the thread before you waffle on with your own blog post none of us subscribe to.

If you're wanting to actually improve over time, you'll have to drop a few. There's not enough time in the day to be a master of all trades. I'd suggest spending more time on Chess - Do a small learning component where you read a book or do some opening theory, then do a portion doing puzzles to learn tactics and spotting common positions in Chess games, then finally play some 10 minute games to put into action what you have practiced.

No thanks.

What an unaesthetic word. If you made it catchy, sure, but "subligence"? Try again

I would like to use Vivaldi but from my understanding they harvest just as much user data as Chrome. I'll stick to Brave for now.

Agree. The author of that article took 0 responsbility and despite the warnings of "Hey, AI with power in prod is a bad idea" thought "This wouldn't happen to me!" and then when it does "HOW COULD IT DO THIS?!"

Wouldn't be a thread about the tech that is changing the landscape for businesses across nearly every discipline without a pelican svg.

Dunning-Kruger vibes from this blog post.

Look into how LLMs work and it's pretty clear why these character counting scenarios often fail if not invoking Thinking/Python Scripting.

Look into G2A - Nothing illegal about it.

This one isn't rocket science.

Framework isn't as mass market as your typical laptop competitors. You can make an assumption a purchaser of framework is tech minded / informed shopper.

You can also see their prebuilt option is Windows only.

When going DIY, adding Windows is between $225 and $339 depending on edition.

Most informed shoppers and techheads also know you can go to key selling websites and get completely legal and working Windows keys for <$20.

Why would people volunteer to pay 1000% more?

This post is so funny.

Firstly, blaming AI at the same time using AI to construct your whole post - Priceless. Loving it.

Secondly - This entire article reeks of "It's not our fault, you guys have failed us at every step" when in reality you let AI run reckless.

I don't want to say deserved it but like, you knew the risks,

Good to see some actual acknowledge from the beings living amongst us. The constant denying is getting frustrating.

Sounds like you're using it for all the wrong reasons. For reference, I hate AI too, but just because I hate it doesn't mean I can't also say it's going to be extremely beneficial to us and only going to get better & more adopted.
