Claude saved my money today

My system was getting hanged and it was running slow since last few days. I was about to subscribe Lenovo's cleanup utility which had highlighted more than 20 issues on my system. But before subscribing it, I asked Claude to review it and Claude said clear no mentioning it a classic "scare and upsell" pattern common in PC optimizer software. It also guided me step by step to check the things on my pc and to fix it. Now my system is working very fine. I am using free version of Claude.

Pull a model on home wifi the night before. \`ollama pull <model>\` — \~9 GB for a 14B, \~17 GB for a 26B. Don't try this at the gate. 2. In Claude Code, point at Ollama. The cleanest path I found is wrapping it in two aliases: alias claude-local='ollama launch claude --model gemma4:26b' alias claude-cloud='claude' 3. Verify on the ground with...

Google’s new anything-to-anything AI model is wild

Just a stuffed deer having the time of his life. | Image: Gemini / The Verge Last year I deepfaked my kid's stuffed animal to make it look like his plush deer was on vacation. It was an experiment to see if I could re-create the events depicted in a Gemini ad Google was running, and I never showed the videos of Buddy the deer on his adventures to my four-year-old. But it was a revealing exercise that made me think a lot about the difference between some harmless fun with generative AI and full-on slop. Maybe that Venn diagram is a perfect circle! Maybe not. But what I know for sure is that th...
