As someone who works on embedded devices: HDDs are used for media storage and can be easily replaced. Any NAND as a limited life span and good embedded software will try very hard to minimise writes. Though in my particular area, there’s additional security constraints on the OS, which preclude any removable flash storage from being used.

Season 2 and 3 are better than season 1. But as a demonstration of how good it is, sometimes I forget ST:PIC ever existed. And I say this as a huge TNG fan.

Some of the LLMs it ships with are very reasonably sized and still be impressive. I can run them on a laptop with 32GB of RAM.

Does GPT4all not allow that? Or do you have specific other models?

Washing cleans genitalia, not surgery.

I brought game xyz to enjoy it, not to keep it forever.

If you can’t keep it forever, you didn’t buy it - as in take ownership of it - you just rented it.

The only person liable here is the shooter.

On the very specific point of liability, while the shooter is the specific person that pulled the trigger, is there no liability for those that radicalised the person into turning into a shooter? If I was selling foodstuffs that poisoned people I’d be held to account by various regulatory bodies, yet pushing out material to poison people’s minds goes for the most part unpunished. If a preacher at a local religious centre was advocating terrorism, they’d face charges.

The UK government has a whole ream of context about this: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/97976/prevent-strategy-review.pdf

Google’s “common carrier” type of defence takes you only so far, as it’s not a purely neutral party in terms, as it “recommends”, not merely “delivers results”, as @joe points out. That recommendation should come with some editorial responsibility.
