Note that for HDDs, it doesn’t matter if they’re powered or not. The platter is not “energized” or refreshed during operation like an SSD is. Your best bet is to have some kind of parity to identify and repair those bad bits.

Sorry dude, but bit rot is a very real thing on HDDs. They’re magnetic media, which degrades over time. If you leave a disk cold for 2-5 years, there’s a very good chance you’ll get some bad sectors. SSDs aren’t immune from bit rot, but that’s not through quantum tunneling - not any more than your CPU is affected by it at least.

Content? Content?! People are dying. Get a grip

Behaviour is tracked in order to be influenced.

In the meantime, hackers have just released a new jailbreak and made it a more open platform than ever :^)

LG and Samsung have been caught uploading screenshots of your HDMI inputs too, so it’s not like it’s any better

Yeah ok we get it, they just release the latest checkpoint of their continuously trained model whenever convenient and make big headlines out of it.

“the right side” = the one that makes the most money

Disgusting

Does the UK “claim” Canada because of their relationship to the crown?

It is so much worse. Humanfacing

It seems like your whole threat model is avoiding DNS poisoning, which is fine, but I fail to see how you can compare using DoH/DoT to a VPN.

so no one can even read which website you want to visit.

Except for the DNS provider (in your example, Google, so… yikes), the operator of the network you’re on (since the destination IP can be rDNS’d or WHOIS’d, or simply grabbed from the Host header if your browser still tries HTTP first). Any traffic that is not encrypted will be snoopable. Traffic volume and connection times to each destination can be analyzed.

By contrast, a VPN will also use secure (if you trust the provider ofc) DNS servers for your requests, plus making all of the traffic completely opaque except for “going to this server”.

no app, no account, no money required

You can also make your own, free VPN service with a little technical knowledge.

Since Wireguard uses UDP and peers only reply to a received packet if it’s expected and valid, it won’t show up in port scans and barely increases your attack surface. Tailscale and Zerotier are quite nice, but personally I dislike NAT-punching protocols.

Point being…?

It is absolutely not, but I understand it’s easy to lose sense of scale when you go into billions territory.

Which, you know, is fine. Maybe if people had an idea of how much power is required to run them, they would think twice before using a gigawatt to output a poem about farts, and perhaps even wonder how OpenAI can offer that for free. Btw, a 7b model should run ok on any PC with at least 16GB of RAM and a modern processor/GPU.
