Several exist actually. Try whichllm.app or fitmyllm.com.

At this point I would pay up front (one-time fee) for a Windows email client that rendered fast, worked with multiple account types including Outlook, had a nice simple interface so I can focus on the messages, and didn't have AI stuffed into it. Seems like we just don't have that.

I use an Alphasmart Neo to write my novels. It's incredibly easy to focus with such a machine. If it just had bigger storage capacity and a microSD slot I'd never consider another option.

I'm a content developer and an SEO. I specialize in managing business websites so their owners don't have to. Keeping them content-rich, technically stable, and search-optimized. Looking for a place where my work makes an appreciable difference.

I'm a content Swiss Army knife. If you look under my belt (not that I recommend doing that) you'll find everything from building content strategies to managing websites. Looking for a content strategist or Director of Content role where I can set & follow a good long-term direction.

What a great idea! I love checking DiskPrices; the structure does lend well to mini-PCs (another interest of mine). Bookmarking this for my next shouldn't-grab-this-but-price-is-too-good impulse buy.

15+ year content developer, tech writer, and SEO looking to branch out. I'm curious about AI research, ethics, and quality assurance. The rich knowledge base between my ears is ready for its next challenge.

Very first game I played on a computer was Zork 1. Old Commodore 64. I think I still have the disk jacket for it (but not the disk, sadly).

That's easy. Writing books and researching curiosities.

I have dozens of book ideas, from novels to reference volumes. My research would at least partially focus on energy/power generation/storage, and partially on current scientific mysteries in our reality.

Ideally, such work could help enrich humanity. Make the world better in some way. Sadly, unless I win a lottery tomorrow or a wealthy person issues me a grant, some of this work won't get done.

Now this is interesting. I've read about using synthetic DNA for data storage, but other uses surely abound.

I don't suppose you'll need documentation help at some point in the near future...?

While I agree that it would make a lot of sense, as another user commented, it's too much of a political football. More's the pity. Nuclear is an incredibly useful power generation method. With current tech, it would take much less time to stand up than it used to.

I use a Beelink mini-PC with a Ryzen 7 chip as my main PC. It handles everything I throw at it (not a gamer though). Worst it's been is making a little fan noise and warm to the touch. Never once overheated or made so much noise it bugged me. YMMV.
