Google claims it doesn't....but I'm not sure how much I trust that claim. That being said, it can't really punish a site much more than it would by scraping all of its content and then feeding it to users without ever sending the traffic to our pages,

This isn't the right place for this question. GroovyPost has nothing to do with Groovy Script. Sorry!

Using anything that either draws power from the iPad's battery or keeps Bluetooth active can have an impact, yes. So can keep background refresh enabled on all your apps, though. Since iPadOS doesn't offer a Battery Health section in Settings, you can try an app to check if your battery is below the 80% health threshold. I believe the free version of iMazing will let you check this. It's available for both Mac and Windows, and I strongly recommend it as a better way to keep your iPhone and iPad backed up, too.

I could be wrong, but I think the largest internal storage expansion card is 2TB. Still might be worth it.

The name may be silly, but it's typically been a rock-solid privacy-centric search engine. I've not tried the Privacy Pro bundle and likely won't (unless they offer it to me for free), since one of my banking institutions gives me a free subscription to NordVPN.

@shockersh If it's the 2022 model, it's considered an 11-inch. Technically, the screen size is 10.9 inches, but Apple rounds up like just about everyone else. It's the same screen size Apple has used for the iPad Air since 2020.

@Wishboy14 Have you tried changing the settings to their default, and then setting them again? We do have an article outlining how to manage when your PC sleeps, but I'm not sure we've encountered an update breaking that. Perhaps @Brian has run into the issue before.

To follow up on what Brian said, your GPU will serve as an AI chip if your computer lacks an NPU. However, dedicated NPUs are designed strictly for AI tasks and tend to be better at it.

Internal storage expansion, I should have said. I ended up selling my Series S and getting a Series X instead, though,

Xanxus, Sorry to say, this forum isn't really focused on Groovy Script. It's more of an accompaniment to groovyPost.com, a site covering news and how-to content for computers, smartphones, tablets, etc. While someone here might be versed in Groovy Script, you're probably going to have better luck in a forum dedicated to it. Cheers, Jeff

Google's AI Overview is pretty active, but....it's definitely got a hallucination problem. Try asking Google "what mammal has the most bones," at least as of this writing. Didn't know a python was a mammal? Well, that's because it isn't. It looks like the AI is grabbing information from a PDF at Charles Dickens Primary School that says humans have the fewer bones than most other mammals. The document goes on to say "the animal with the most bones is the python." I guess Google's AI figures since both creatures are listed in the same paragraph, they must both be mammals. Featured Snippets remain sketchy, too. Ask Google what to do to keep your cheese from sliding off your pizza. It recommends Elmer's Glue! I mean come on...

There should be an option (albeit in small, sometimes hard-to-read print) to proceed without the license key, then enter it post-install. But, the paperwork that came with your PC should have included a license key. if not, you'll need to contact the manufacturer's tech support line to get it.

Just use the full word "Omni." They've had GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo...why get cutsie with just a single letter? Call it GPT-4 Omni, if that's what the "o" stands for.

So, OpenAI is rolling out its newest generation of ChatGPT. GPT-4o, an extremely silly name IMO. It's supposed to bring ChatGPT closer to being like a replacement for Siri, Alexa, or Hey Google. My experience so far...I get it, the LLM just rolled out starting today, but I'm not impressed. Let's talk about it, though. If you've had a chance to test it already, what are your thoughts? One good thing is that it's rolling out even to free users eventually, but I still have major concerns. Especially since, as I'm sure you know, OpenAI violated a ton of publishers' copyrights to train their first iteration.

Google's really dropping the ball with its Featured Snippets, in a way that could get you infected with malware or face a phishing attempt. Let me explain. Yesterday, I was binging Food Network's Tournament of Champions, and I noticed that Guy Fieri keeps referring to Simon Majumdar as "Sir." Now, I like Simon...I think he's got a lot of ability to really break down what good food is. But knighted? I didn't think so, so I turned to Google. "why is simon majumdar called sir?" The featured snippet for that search led me to...what could have been a whole lot of trouble. First of all, the information in the snippet is completely wrong...Majumdar was never knighted, and no other search result besides the featured snippet says so. But that isn't the worst of it. At the time I made the first search, that featured snippet sent me to a page that tried to claim my "Apple device was infected by a virus." Ummm...no it's not. And it really isn't possible for a simple website to determine that. But I've seen these things before, and I know what would have happened if I'd clicked the link to learn more. One or more of three things: The page would have attempted to install malware on my device. The page would have tried to take over my device with ransomware. The page would have prompted me to provide my name, email address, or maybe even credit card information to get a fix to a problem that didn't even exist. So, I used the Feedback link to let Google know about what that snippet did. I also tried another search query, "when was simon majumdar knighted," and lo and behold...another Featured Snippet from the same site. This one, though, I didn't bother to click on. Not only because of my experience with the first one, but because the text of this one claimed Majumdar was a Northern Irish singer/songwriter. Umm...no, he certainly isn't. Reported that one, too. Now, here's the good news. Since yesterday, those featured snippets aren't as dangerous. The first doesn't lead to the malware anymore. And, since writing this, it's been removed as a Featured Snippet in Google's search results. The one claiming Simon is a singer/songwriter from Northern Ireland is still there, but I hope and expect that one will soon go away, too. Be careful what you click, folks, even if it's in a Google search result. And make sure you have good virus and malware protection! We outline some good options over at groovyPost for both Windows and macOS.
