"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Just for my sanity, do you have to power up usb drives every so often or they corrupt?
If you mean USB sticks (thumb drives), I have a few 20 year old ones that I dust off from time to time when all I need is something small. Some have been in a drawer for years before I touched them again.
Theoretically, they need tl be re-written every few years at most. Read everything off, format and re-write. Checking for corruption would be adviasable when you do it.
