See AllI taught ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini the same lie — then tried to erase it
Can you check what about my Chinese Top 3 Favorite AI : Qwen, Z AI and Ernie Bot
How they take our lies and such stuffs.
This is the browser I use instead of Chrome and Firefox (and why I won't go back)
On Desktop I always preferred Opera, even on Mobile it’s great. Safari does the good job on my Apple Devices
After 26 Years of Opera Usage, I am finding it to be better than Chrome, Chromium, Comet, Firefox, Brave and Other Browsers.
Linux is incredible, but these 4 things will frustrate you if you're not ready
My first computer experience was with Windows 1995 and it was horrible, it used to throw blue screen and physical dumbing of memory messages a lot. Then I was provided with Mandrakes Red Hat Linux KDE. I found that expect for the GUI experience of certain apps and the "Document Printing" (Fonts will look very different on paper and does not look as good as it was on the screen) I had no issues. Being an accountant I did not venture into any of the system administration jobs till 2010. In 2010 I started my own Linux Testing and by 2014 I concluded that Linux is better than Windows for my use case and despite that it cannot replace windows fully as Ministry of Company Affairs requires a windows machine to do the compliances. Therefore my balanced view on the topic is, break the ice and go with Linux. You would not feel disappointed. Buy an economic Laptop without Pre-Installed Windows, use Linux Mint, Zorin or Linux-Deepin to begin with via a LiveUSB. Then slowly move towards OpenSuse or Fedora or Centos for Enterprise Level Works and you would find that the level of productivity, stability and security is much better with Linux than Windows and you may also admit that Windows excel in Presentation Power and Peripheral Connectivity.
The forgotten Microsoft music player that had one feature Spotify still hasn't copied
Mmmmm... I just used all MP3 or MP4 Players like Zune, iPod, Zen or Others just to listen to my own collection of songs or FM Radio & Record Radio or Live Concerts. I did not explore on Subscription and Sharing Features. Even today my stripped down song collection is about 150GB divided into Devotion, Tamil Movie Songs, Hindi Movie Songs and Pop-Jazz Collections. My songs are old and gold.
I was wrong about local LLMs, and these 4 myths were why
Indeed Local Models are a bit poorer when it comes to responding.
For instance Qwen 3.5 Localised and Qwen 3.5 on the Cloud answered a same prompt differently
Further Local Models struggle to answer long questions and The Token Limits are much less than that of the cloud.
They are fast in doing math and also answering some questions but not creative and reasoning enough.
4 Microsoft subscriptions you can easily replace with free open-source apps
Simply use OnlyOffice Desktop Editors - that replaces MS Office and also MS 365 Copilot using the AI Plugins
Outlook - replace with Thunderbird and use AOL or Yahoo Mail for maximum storage space in emails.
LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, WPS Office and SoftMaker Office are other officesuites with free or freemium models which one can try.
