Thanks for that, I’ve saved your post for when I switch. My laptop runs windows 11 but I’m not enjoying the experience. Used linux a bit in the 90s but I’ve forgotten everything and will have to start from scratch. Yep, when I get some time I’m going to make the jump.

Mate I think you misread it again.

I had a song intermittently stuck in my head for over a decade, couldn’t remember the artist, song name, or any of the lyrics. I only had the genre, language it was in, and a vague, memory-degraded description of a music video. Over the years I’d tried to find it on search engines a bunch of times to no avail, using every prompt I could think of. ChatGPT got it in one. So yeah, it’s very useful for stuff like that. Was a great feeling to scratch that itch after so long. But I wouldn’t trust an LLM with anything important.

I’m surprised no-one has asked an LLM to produce a plausible version and just released that, claiming it’s a leak.

TBF it requires minimum effort from the ai. Efficient.

Nah, nothing’s enough.

Yeah, ppl say ‘if it’s free, you’re the product.’ and that sentiment feels like it applies here.

Not just who you are as a consumer, who you are as a person.

Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group.

Yeah, it’s fucked.

They want to stop us controlling anything.

Fuckin loads.

Not American but can’t imagine they see fewer.

Mine was a direct, attributed quote from the US president.

Yeah, SIM swaps are a concern too.

Great news! Congrats mate, and thanks for updating me.

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah it’s hard to know what’s going to be a pile of shit. I had a good experience with a moto previously - but that was maybe ten years ago, a lot could have changed since then.

I’m looking for something mid range I guess, £500 max. I’ve always had cheaper phones and I’m tired of being frustrated with a device I use so much so I’m gonna spend a bit more on the next one.

Would you mind letting me know if it works out? Was thinking of getting a Moto G, I’m using an elderly Samsung and no way will I replace it with another Samsung.
