What do you think of an open-source app like VLC adding AI to auto-generate subtitles? This is not what VLC users and fans want. Many users don't want anything to do with AI in any form on their system, which again creates privacy issues. Folks who use VLC avoid streaming and other services for a reason. They don't want their data transmitted to parasites like OpenAI, Microsoft, or other AIs. I know VLC doesn't make any money. They need to get feedback from users before adding such a feature.

Google finally did it. Is it time to switch to Firefox? I believe users should be in control of what they can install and use on their desktop or laptop. There's uBlock Origin Lite, which replaces the original uBlock Origin for Chrome and similar browsers. Give it a try.

How can I be a happy chap in IT? Let me tell you about it:

* The RAID is a backup fallacy: RAID is for redundancy, NOT backups! (Seriously, people!)

* Neglecting backups: Data loss is tragic. Back up your precious files.

* Blind faith in backups: Test them! Know how long it takes to restore.

Times are tough, and the job market is hard right now. Both UDP and TCP are applying for the same job position in a big data centre to manage Linus servers. The interviewer asks, "What's your biggest weakness?" UDP says, "I have no follow-through." TCP says, "I overthink everything and need constant reassurance for all my tasks." The job interviewer, HR PERSON, hires UDP for his "go-getter" attitude.
