I understand where you’re coming from but that’s just not practical for me, even if I had the specific device. For pretty much the same reasons as before. I tried this once in college, not fully degoogled but using microg. I was able to make it work but the experience was pretty awful and I just don’t want to spend my time managing something like that anymore.

I went to college in the mid-late 2010s and I recall they specifically banned WiFi routers, but when I checked what they meant specifically all they cared was that it didn’t broadcast on the 2.4 or 5 ghz spectrum and if it was all wired I was fine.

Sounds like you haven’t met very many professional programmers then.

It’s really best in class in that regard. It’s the most customizable mobile browser. Firefox in android has more extensions, but Safari’s actually integrate better in the UI and you can use shortcuts for simple things too.

Most people don’t care about that even a little bit. Back in the day I used to use various custom roms on my android devices, it was awesome. But that was then, I have a job and family now and I can’t just reset my phone on a whim because there’s some cool UI tweak in a new rom. Plus, most of the stuff that made custom roms worthwhile has been integrated into the OS nowadays, so the value add is significantly diminished.

Makes sense. Would that not be trivially mitigated by just blocking dhcp responses from unapproved servers on the switch though?

A consumer router only operates DHCP on the LAN side. Presumably one would plug the WAN side into the university network, making this a non-issue.

This applies to any information though, it’s got nothing to do with LLMs specifically.

Using a different high level interface to generate code is completely different? The fundamental concept is the same even if the UI is very different.

I generally avoid voluntarily giving money to people threatening to sue me.

Current gen MacBooks have massive batteries. The MacBook Pro 14 inch is 70-73Wh, same as your G14, and the 16 inch MBP is 100Wh, the legal limit to take on an airplane. Even the 13inch air, apple’s thinnest and smallest, is still 52Wh.
