If you're so smart why don't you come up with a way to do it under 100 watts???

Also this is training them not using them. Using an ai consumes significantly less power than the process to train it sort of like how humans take more to learn than to put something in practice.

    Well the biggest selling point of VPNs is easier piracy not privacy. Most VPN customers just want to protect themselves from anyone watching their downloading habits. Yeah technically there would be a trail but no one is going to follow it to catch someone downloading inception.

    Modern day reliability and security best practices are based on planning for failures assuming they are all inevitable.

    Back in the old days we would just assume everything is going to work out but that just isn't sustainable now with how complex and expansive systems have become. Basically, there are too many moving parts to account for every single possibility so people should expect systems to fail and know how to react when it happens.

    You really think that the people who are still on lemmy after lemmy.world got hacked and ddossed multiple times care about a few bugs or down time?

    Also there is very little chance that lemmy makes massive improvements to their reliability in a single month. Lemmy is very much a long time away from meeting the service levels set by average users.
