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.

I like your general philosophy, but need to point out something.
If you need to recover the SD card to prevent (significant) data loss, you've already messed up. Backups should be handled regardless of storage medium.
I think he meant data on an SD card is easier to be recovered. You just take it out and bring to a store if needed. With soldered on chips, good luck with desoldering to begin with.
Yep, I usually just migrate the sd card betweent phone or clone the old one to a new one. I have incremental backups of my data from the last like 15 years becasue of that.
Yeah no doubt, I use syncthing to do my running backups but I like to pretend that isn't there. I kind of treat my sd card as an extra just in case backup. It catches things like downloads and the misc bullshit I have on my phone or transfer between computers.
