[later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!

I have info on a USB, a PC and now a cloud. The USB is my working base. I udate files on there daily. Is there a way to sync a USB to a cloud? With PC when I copy-paste it is mostly OK as I get the "this file already exists do you want to override it" message, but is there a sync? Cloud is in 2 places, KDrive (infomaniak) and Filen. #BackUp #Cloud #DataSync #Question
Swear words and AI.
So I like LLMs for silly things...
I have a great Boss and our work does these little shout-out awards. We are both potty mouths and enjoy using the word cunt a lot. I am Australian so he is indeed a great cunt. A term of endearment. So, I asked ChatGPT to write a message that had the word hidden in it. It refused. Lama (Meta's AI) did it for me but then after-school-specialed me! #LLM #AI #Swearing
