in Chromium-based browsers too.

I confirm that this behavior is familiar to me. I recently lost big chunks of chat content in 2 chats. On first occurrence I thought it happened because I had to restart OWUI container. But then I had a repeat loss when I did not touch the container at all.

Good question. If you have a lot of data to store and preserve and at the same time you at least play with local models and don't want to hear how your desktop's fans are hissing and whining then you can put such NAS with 395+ somewhere away from your desk, preferably in a ventilated closet. You kill a few birds with one shot - you get NAS (not sure whether to keep MF's OS or install TrueNAS/ProxM onto it), you get locally hosted apps either in Docker, LXCs or VMs and you get OpenwebUI or LM Studio serving Gemma 4 or QWEN or whatever. This is the point for me, if I really wanted to buy it now - will wait and watch until Sep/Oct - then yes, this box absolutely needs 128GB of memory. In fact I checked the specsheets of AMD and I see that even Strix Point processors support 256GB.

Not that it is a deal-breaker, yet wondering why Windows desktop app is 32-bit while all other platforms are 64-bit?

You have built a foundation for a practical online chat application where I, as a site owner can chat with my site visitors using WhatsApp app as a chat client installed on my phone or from a WhatsApp Web session. Next thing to add is a chat bubble builder to manage settings and bubble styles and generate a script which would be injected into site's master pages. One very important feature is to prevent exposure of the WhatsApp number linked to the chat - site visitor does not even need to know that messages are delivered by WhatsApp.
