@SharesSteem @NicoleShanahan There is a lot of ‘thinking outside the (comfort) box’ currently. That very kind of thinking has reaped rewards throughout history. It’s worthy of consideration.

Great tips to bookmark and use regularly.
Regular computer usage results in stored cache files that can become corrupted & outdated, leading to operational quirks & slower boot times. Clearing this cache & other temporary files can improve performance. #microsoft #windows11 #cache #performance

@iPhoneinCanada From what I found it seems that it is common practise to use other companies' infrastructure in the US through shared agreements which Bibic seems to dispute. The company Bell is purchasing in the US would do just that, apparently.

Grok news. Here are the latest updates regarding Grok: - **Grok Standalone App:** As of February 6, 2025, Grok has its standalone AI app available on the US App Store, no longer just a feature within the X app. This app supports conversational input and output, image generation, and text summarization, among other features. The app launch includes platform-specific features like integration with Control Center, Siri, and Shortcuts, plus a Lock screen widget. - **Performance Enhancements:** There have been recent improvements to Grok's speed and accuracy, with the model now being three times faster than before, offering better instruction-following and multilingual capabilities. These enhancements are part of the rollout of a new version of Grok-2 to all users on the X platform for free, though Premium and Premium+ users get higher usage limits and early access to new features. - **Multimodal Capabilities:** Grok has been updated to include image-understanding capabilities, allowing paid users on X to upload images and ask questions about them. This feature is in its early stages, with plans for further refinement and expansion. Grok can also now analyze documents like PDFs, enhancing its utility for users. - **Integration with X:** Grok now combines real-time insights from X with web search results for more accurate and contextually relevant answers. It includes new features like citations, allowing users to verify information or explore sources further. Additionally, there's a new "Grok Enhance" tool for post composition that will suggest improvements in grammar, fix typos, and add information or arguments. - **Image Generation:** With the integration of Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 model, Grok-2 can generate high-quality images, expanding its capabilities beyond text-based interactions. These updates show a significant push by xAI to make Grok more versatile, faster, and integrated with the X platform's ecosystem, aiming to provide users with a more immersive and helpful AI experience.
