Plug it into a computer and see what the computer says.

I usually use Linux for that because it offers good error messages and I know the tools. But other operating systems might help, too.

And if you start writing to the card or executing recovery tools, make a backup / image first.

If the files are very important, maybe don't tamper with it and ask for help. Like a repair shop, your local Linux community or any trustworthy computer expert friend.

The biggest enemy is probably encryption, if it's encrypted. The files are definitely still there if you just ripped it out. In the old days you could just run a recovery program and get everything back.

FYI: There's also AnLinux, Linux Deploy, Termux, tainer, UserLAnd, ...

Some of them aren't maintained anymore. And they don't necessarily have hardware-acceleration. But don't all require root and system patches.

services.tabby.enable = true;
services.tabby.acceleration = "cuda";

? Could be another way.

I'm pretty sure he did this out of this own motivation because he thinks/thought it's a fascinating topic. So, sure this doesn't align with popularity. But it's remarkable anyways, you're right. And I always like to watch the progression. As far as I remember the early videos lacked professional audio and video standards that are nowadays the norm on Youtube. At some point he must have bought better equipment, but his content has been compelling since the start of his Youtube 'career'. 😊

And I quite like the science content on Youtube. There are lots of people making really good videos, both from professional video producers and also from scientists (or hobbyists) who just share their insight and interesting perspective.

And maybe have a look at his Youtube channel and the older videos, too. Lots of them are a bit more philosophical and not too technical for the average person. I think he's quite inspiring and conveys very well what AI safety is about, and what kinds of problems that field of science is concerned with.

Those who understand binary and those who don't?

What's that got to do with AI?

Edit: Ah. Probably the search bar from the screenshot.

Isn't that very similar to what TikTok does? Just with a different algorithm and maybe other content than just videos?

Hmmh. That is about a different author who said that on Instagram. And reading that Instagram post (which I haven't done before) ... There seems to be more to it. Sharing documents with explicit content with multiple people seems to be the issue. And that'd align with my experience. I've worked on 'normal' Google cloud documents with ~30 to 50 people and nothing ever happened. That could be coincidence but I suppose lots of people do that. Maybe it's really the combination of the two factors.

They're fairly known to do this. For YouTube creators it's been this way for years. With nobody at the other side, just AI. Every now and then some YouTuber makes a video how they were able to restore their account against all odds.

I mean with that it's bad because peoples livelihood is on the line. But also getting a regular Google account can have serious consequences. People use it to login to other services, have half their lives stored there and their phones connected.

And I think there is a general push towards AI powered customer support. I'm afraid in 10 years it'll be very hard to reach anyone that can help you if it's not the standard procedure. And it'll be more a sci-fi dystopia. With most companies and contracts.

Hmmh. Good reminder not to rely on these cloud services too much. And I mean the terms and services are kinda vague and enforced by a (rogue) AI. She could have stored murder mystery stories to the same effect.

My laptop is getting old and i can't have Element eat up half of my RAM. There are many more clients out there but which one is good? aka "the best? ;-)

My requirements: lightweight, encryption 100% supported, active development/community. runs neatly 24/7 in the background.

Should also support the latest features, let me customize when to get notifications: priorities / muted chatrooms. And ideally also look clean and run on the Pinephone. But that's optional.

I don't care which desktop environment or cli.

What do you use?
