My understanding is that 24H2 crashes if you try that. Microsoft is starting to build their OS around the TPM, so that work around is bound to stop being helpful. I decided a few years ago to stop fighting Microsoft and do what they are asking me to do, stop using Windows.

I moved to syncthing a long time ago. I run it on all my computers, my phone, and my NAS. Keeps everything in sync and local. My only worry is the lack of an offsite. If my home burned down, I'd be a little screwed. Otherwise, I've got lots of copies on lots of devices, as well as automatic backups.

Yeah, the genie is out of the bottle on this one. I can do voice cloning with consumer hardware and available models. That can't be undone, but good legal protections would be nice.

That said, the Johanson case is a bad example because it really didn't sound much like her at all. It was a chipper yound white lady sound, but to my ear sounded nothing like Johanson. It did sound kinda like a character she voiced, but I would not gave confused the two. They cloned the voice of someone they paid to give a similar inflection as the voice from Her. That's far removed from cloning Johanson herself. It is closer to people making music "in the style of".

I've been using and reasonably satisfied with A.R.M. https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

It uses MakeMKV and Handbrake, but streamlines the whole process.

Reminds me of StumbleUpon. An old way of sharing and finding content.

I also think people discount the power of advertising when they think Facebook or Amazon is listening to them. They don't think that maybe why they were talking about xyz was because they saw an ad for it. Then they saw another ad for it after they talked about it and got confused on cause and effect.

I don't know, but I'm a big fan of cowboy and mafia planets.

Well, in the case of Ender's Game, that was the point. Trick kids into thinking they were playing a game and they wouldn't think twice about being as brutal as necessary to win. So if your goal is to have cars murder people, having people control them with their dreams is a pretty good idea.

I'm not diagreeing with that. Although it could be useful, I often forget where I saved things, and something that let's my search my worn history would be rad, but there's zero chance this won't be abused by a large list of people, including but not limited to Microsoft, spouses, bosses, malware, governments, every random application, Facebook, and Microsoft.

Shadow copy is a completely different thing. Shadow copy creates snapshots(used for version history, among other uses) of files. Recall is a screen recording software, that includes OCR and maybe some AI stuff. At this time, at least, it too is all local. It just isn't secure in the least.

Generate images with self hosted models, or integrate it with art programs? Because yes to both.
