Cool.
Still doesnt mean you can boot from it

ChatGPT told me to do

sudo sha256sum /dev/sda1 > /dev/sda1

So. Is this wrong? I thought it backs up the data

Yeah we're going to see much more of this moving forward. Yesterday i installed Linux for a friend and they asked about fixing problems. I told them to always look at the date & compatibility when they search for solutions. They then volunteered: "and I guess I can always ask ChatGPT, it's pretty good with these things". I grunted non-committally.

What?? Why do you presume the data is bootable? I'm confused, isn't this about restoring data from some backup data? Am I missing something? Is it a sex thing? I can never tell here at Lemmy...
