Using Brave EFF reports that I have a randomized fingerprint.

The only thing I've found Deepseek and Kimi good for are security tasks that GPT refuses to do.

This is a summary of what Deepseek did and got wrong:

Lost the proven baseline: changed kernel source, configuration, compiler, RAM geometry, MMC width, and peripherals together. Matching an upstream commit did not preserve local boot fixes, making failures difficult to isolate. Misidentified an image: a file labelled “r18-known-good” actually contained the r23 parent bootloader. Filename-based reasoning replaced verification of the artifact’s identity and provenance. Shipped inconsistent boot contracts: flash-16b’s loader read too few kernel blocks. Fresh2 changed the device tree without updating the loader’s expected length and CRC, creating deterministic rejection before normal Linux handoff. Patched binaries without maintaining reproducible source: loader constants diverged from source, a separately compiled cache-flush length remained stale, and assembly used an oversized stage-two slot. Their causal contribution to hangs was not established. Overstated diagnosis: claimed failures were definitively in U-Boot, blamed compiler or IPU changes without controlled isolation, converted noisy observations into confirmed hangs, and neglected persistent journals as an alternative explanation. Mistook compilation for integration: framebuffer registration was incomplete, timing success handling was inverted, BT.656 selection was unreachable, encoder overrides were missing, and audio lacked software clock configuration. Misread hardware evidence: asserted interrupt-free PMIC operation, assigned RF to the wrong SPI controller, confused regulator identifiers with register addresses, and described repeated encoder writes as unique registers. Overclaimed results: treated kernel/probe indications as userspace success, presented earlier discoveries as new progress, and omitted failed flashing attempts from the final narrative.

But it was the "Steve from Dell" revelation at the end that absolutely killed me!

The city also added a private right of action so this law will be weaponized by attorneys with a profit motive, the same way the ADA has been.

Seattle is free to pass whatever laws they wish but they can't do so and then complain about a lack of homes for rent in the city. This hits families who want to rent a home much harder than single people or couples who tend to rent apartments.

The city has basically consolidated the rental market so it works best for large corporations. Was that the intent?

The conspiratorial angles and the continued mystery around the aliens were engrossing. Add terrifying episodes like "A Question of Priorities" and UFO probably scarred a generation of kids for life.

The Andersons created it as a show for adult audiences which explains the dark storylines and sexy outfits, but somehow it ended up being slotted in children's viewing hours!

There's no real regulation requiring blocking paste but it has become an annoying informal standard of sorts.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but it's not going to be market based if you look at any recent trends. Interest in privacy is unfortunately a niche concern outside of places like HN.

Anyone who has tried to market a privacy oriented product knows what I am talking about.

IIRC Apple also specifically prohibits exporting device signals like boot time and available disk space, so that SDK would be in violation of their rules if the description is accurate.

Good to see some innovation. Desktop Linux feels like it has been stalled for years and needs new ideas.

Also, having an AI to pre-flight compatibility issues and help with UEFI and BIOS configs makes life so much more pleasant.
