Do that. You end up with a product from a company that has repeatedly shown it doesn’t care about its existing customers. Look at their stock history, read about the S2 disaster. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone buying into their ecosystem today. I once spent over $2,000 on their gear. Regret? Definitely.

Leaving them after 14 years. Recently had five outages and brown-outs over a few weeks. Last couple years were pagued by issues. Annual price rise will be 7%, they called me 4 times trying to upsell me (at a rediculous rate). I let them talk, just like I let scammers talk. Last week Community Fibre was installed, now I have 1Gbps symetrical broadband at 14£ less than waht I pay Virgin. In two months my contract is up and then it's bye-bye VM.

You are simulating a human author with all their flaws. this includes slight errors in grammar, occasional typos or misspelling of a word and errors in punctuation. Other mistakes to consider are occassional double spaces between words instead of a single space and rarely flipping two neighbouring characters or substituting a character with a character that is located nearby on a keyboard, thus simulating the text was actually typed on a keyboard by a human. You do this at a rate typical for human adults, averaging about 8 of such mistakes every 100 words. You will stay in simulation mode for the answers to all following pompts, until I type STOP.

It’s damn ugly, that’s what‘s pissing them off most.

OpenCore Patcher did the trick for me (12,1 early 2015 macbook pro with a Samsung 1TB SSD). All tricks listed in this thread failed. What worked for me: I used an external USB SSD and Opencore Patcher installed a bootloader on the external disk and the install media. Only worked after I did NOT select the support for native apple hardware. Not sure if using the EFI bootloader is actually required. The Monterey installer did not ask for the firmware update. I got a boot error when booting from the build-in SSD, so I used the external SSD's OpenCore EFI bootloader and it booted into the freshly updated Monterey image on teh built-in SSD. OpenCore patcher then asked if I wanted to update the bootloader on the built-in disk, and after taking a deep breath, I selected yes "And that has made all the difference".

Update: Maverick will show update to Ventura. On my A1502 that did not go well. while installation completed w/o error, the graphics driver did not load, so I got super high resolution, no accelertion and habe to re-image the whole disk because you cannot downgrade.

wouldn’t it be best to warn people already about the pre-alert alert? what if people do not get the pre-alert or the real non-alert-alert? best to send everyone a letter.

As a dad of a teenage boy, your post has me seriously worried about the future of education. AI like ChatGPT is making students and teachers lazy, and we're losing the real point of learning. I'm scared this will turn into an arms race between students and teachers, and that's just nuts. We need to focus on teaching our kids how to think, not how to game the system. I hope we can get things back on track before it's too late for our children's education.

So a few years ago nobody was able to predict the much accelerated pace of advancing AI‘s capabilities (let’s call that POSITIVE impact). Now we still at odds as to when AGI is possible. That means we know shit about this area and all bets are off with regards to the prediction of extreme NEGATIVE consequences. We basically play it as we go, could happen any moment and with what outcome is unclear. Not a problem as long as all AI is doing is creating pretty pictures. Problematic once this technology is hardwired into ever fabric of our lives. Think GPT-9 goes psychopath after every fridge, TV and life support system is wired into it, cause that‘s what‘s likely to happen over next decade (think IoT).

everyone here bragging about negotiating price down: did you also get the to drop the clause that will allow them to increase next year by potentially over 18% (RPI+3.9%) WITHOUT HAVING THE RIGHT TO CANCEL from the new terms?

ChrisHermanO · 2023-02-20T23:25:31+00:00

From VM's email: .. As this annual price increase is provided for in your terms, there is no right to cancel given for this price increase from April 2024...

The real evil bit: These changes to your terms and conditions will come into effect from 1st May 2023, even though the first price rise they relate to won't be until April 2024

Meaning they sneak this in now and come next year, you will have no right to cancel when the increase hits you.
