2. Forget US-based big tech.
3. Use Protonmail/Tuta.
4. Use ProtonVPN or a VPN you trust. (TOR is good, but overkill for many.)
5. Remember that all accounts you created previously are still attached to you, as you said.

🚨 OpenAI killed GPT-4o on Valentine’s Day eve.
I deep-dived the forced migration to GPT-5.2. Is this about safety? Or are they purging the sycophancy that made 4o a favorite?
PR calls it "efficiency." The reality is much colder.

Raspberry Pi just dropped a tiny AI add‑on (AI HAT+ 2) that lets you run local chatbots/models on your own hardware, not the cloud. It’s the “escape velocity” option from ads, paywalls, and prying eyes. Under $200 if you pair it with a Pi5.
