Yeah pretty much what it feels like to me, everyone wants to cram AI into everything even though it's often worse and uses far more resources.

AI tools are great at some things, like I had a spreadsheet of product names and SKUs and we wanted to clean up the names by removing extra spaces, use consistent characters like - for a separator, and that kind of thing, and it was very quick to have an AI tool do that for me.

You can guarantee the replacement will be worse in every way, that's the microsoft playbook after all.

Good opportunity to test your backups.

Restore to a new directory, update that and see what happens. If it works do it to the original.

I'm all for embedded stuff having backdoors, it's what makes it possible to use custom firmware on devices that have otherwise crappy vendor locked firmware.

Yeah I swear people read 'it could be' and somehow think that it is.

Well sure but most exes I download are installers, where decompression only needs to happen once.

I'll give it a try, thanks for all the hard work on xpipe!

I really don't understand why I can't just follow a hashtag, it's such a basic feature.

AI is useless at actually helping with normal tasks.

The functionality to run those extensions has been removed, so manual install won't work.

EXE files don't really compress well, plus the files should already be internally compressed when the exe is built.

On a somewhat related note, why do so many open source projects give me a zip file with a single exe inside it instead of just the exe directly?
