I was surprised! Absolutely fantastic but you have to watch until the end! No spoilers!
Meh. It's better than sending that data to the cloud. Local AI is the future.
Scam and phishing detection alone are worth it. I also consider the grammar checking worth it but I'm a writer so others might not feel the same 🤷
Lemmy and Piefed users are screaming, wondering why Yahoo has decided to market this one specific book.

I toured a local Boston TV news room when I was a kid and it blew my mind just how few people were working there. The entire "team" that actually put on the news was ~12 people. 3 anchors, 1 weather person, and the rest were the camera/broadcast crew. There were reporters and camera people that weren't present (presumably, out filming the news of the day).
Yet, the building was quite large! I asked why they needed a 12-story office building if they only needed 12 people to run the news and the anchor who was showing us around laughed, "Hah! They sell the ads!"
Years later, I toured CNN in Atlanta and it was exactly the same! They had a much fancier floor for the "showbiz" side of the news where the famous faces sat with cameras all over the place (and it was quite innovative at the time because they also had cameras pointing at the room in general so you could see the crews working). However, it was still about 12 people total that were working and putting on the live news.
Same setup: Great big building, but nearly all of it was just regular office people selling ad space, working on projects, etc doing "office stuff".
Now contrast that with my time working for the New York Times (as a security consultant): It was floor upon floor of actual journalists. People who were working on stories, investigating things, focusing on their areas of expertise, etc. They still had lots of office people and a whole extra building that was mostly full of IT staff. But the ratio of reporters was much, much higher.
The main difference is that newspapers actually inform and need to provide all those little details that are important. Whereas television news is merely entertainment.
