There's a little box on there that says "No AI" which is pretty much meaningless. It implies it was written without AI but maybe it just means the product doesn't ship with an LLM?

Either way, it's a no from me.

Thanks for the disclosure. The product looks good, it's just a pity the LLM generated prose is so weird.

How much AI went into this? All the text on your site and the Readme on Github look incredibly LLM generated.

The page looked LLM made so I bothered to read I looked at the headings. Every one looked like nonsensical slop.

If they can't be bothered to write, I can't be bothered to read.

We just used Hyper-V

Not DOS but we recently had to virtualise a Windows XP box as it was running crucial software for a visitor attraction. The software was written by a member of staff who sadly passed away and the PC it was running on was approximately 20 years old.

We managed to virtualise it and then run it in a VM, and it needed a couple of USB-to-serial adapters passing through as well.

We're also finding some kiosks are running Shockwave Flash apps provided by companies that are no longer trading. We can decompile the files to extract the assets but at some point it's easier to just replace completely.

Border agents in America can search your phone or laptop without a warrant or sufficient suspicion at the border.

Jeff Gray is a man who regularly gets arrested and/or trespassed from public places for holding up a sign saying "God bless the homeless vets". Seems to happen nearly every time he does it at various locations.

Oh, and flock cameras and ICE aren't exactly a sign that America is this beacon of freedom that it likes to portray.

Also consider the fact that if someone else makes accounts in your name (whether maliciously or simply because they share the same name) I imagine this could be used against you.

"Wiping is obviously extremely suspicious and asking for trouble"

It's sad this is the default view. It's his device, his data, his life on that phone. If he had wiped the phone before the interrogation it wouldn't be a problem. How long before? A second before? A week before? But wiping the data a minute later is suddenly asking for trouble.
