This is why I always save contents as a new file instead of overwriting the original one when I'm using a machine that isn't mine. I've been burned so many times by flimsy newline characters, proper unicode support, legacy encoding and many other stuff you assume it should be already in place.

No joke. A decent gaming pc can be built around that price and be used for so much more. Even cheaper if you hunt for used parts.

It sounds like a name deliberately chosen by the author writing whatever techno-political thriller novel they're working on.

Unless it's all local I'm staying out of this AI craze.

Not me either, but my acquaintances and colleagues will happily let them in with open doors.
