  And the speaker grill. Too much gunk can reduce the output volume drastically.

  I was also about to say headphone jack but now it’s a product of a bygone era.

  • remove dust
  • reapply thermal paste
  • make sure cables are managed properly for better airflow

  Undervolting is treating the symptom, not the cause.

  Think of LLMs as the person who gets good marks in exams because they memorized the entire textbook.

  For small, quick problems you can rely on them (“Hey, what’s the syntax for using rsync between two remote servers?”) but the moment the problem is slightly complicated, they will fail because they don’t actually understand what they have learnt; if the answer is not in the original textbook, they fail.

  Now, if you are aware of the source material or if you are decently proficient in coding, you can check their incorrect response, correct it, and make it your own. Instead of creating the solution from scratch, LLMs can give you a push in the right direction. However, DON’T consider their output as the gospel truth. LLMs can augment good coders, but it can lead poor coders astray.

  This is not something specific to LLMs; if you don’t know how to use Stackoverflow, you can use the wrong solution from the list of given solutions. You need to be technically proficient to even understand which one of the solutions is correct for your usecase. Having a strong base will help you in the long run.
