I can then monitor this to see if it's changed in the future.Hopefully this will disable these illicit AI features and prevent it from being re-enabled in future.#Windows #Chrome #Google #Weights.bin #AI #LLM]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/6b990111-efbb-4001-87fa-2a539f990602/if-you-are-running-google-chrome-on-windows-and-wish-to-disable-the-illicitly-downloaded-4-gbyte-ai-model-here-are-the-steps-to-go-though</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/6b990111-efbb-4001-87fa-2a539f990602/if-you-are-running-google-chrome-on-windows-and-wish-to-disable-the-illicitly-downloaded-4-gbyte-ai-model-here-are-the-steps-to-go-though</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[I now feel myself comfortable enough with #postgresql to have a single database server for many services I’m #selfhosting.]]></title><description><![CDATA[@yehor This is your reminder that nobody cares about backups but restores are very important.]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/ddb16bab-25e5-4eb4-a279-2ae8c89f9aaf/i-now-feel-myself-comfortable-enough-with-postgresql-to-have-a-single-database-server-for-many-services-i-m-selfhosting.</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/ddb16bab-25e5-4eb4-a279-2ae8c89f9aaf/i-now-feel-myself-comfortable-enough-with-postgresql-to-have-a-single-database-server-for-many-services-i-m-selfhosting.</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[dashdsrdash@tilde.zone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
