Everytime I read such news, I'm glad that I ditched Windows for Linux. Since Proton makes almost all games run, I don't have any reason to use Microsoft's rotten software anymore.
I tried using oolama to run an LLM on my A6000 for Cursor. It fits completely in VRAM. Nevertheless it was significantly slower than Claude 4.5 opus.
Also, the support in Cursor for local models is really bad.
A friend of mine recently made that experience. Her Amazon account got stolen, Amazon didn't care, and now she lost access to all movies and books she "owned".
Fortunately, with the rise of Z-Library, I was able to recover her books (she already paid for them, so I'm ok with downloading it from such a shady source).
I guess we have to fall back to piracy if we want to stay in control.
That sounds like a typical problem of unnecessary complexity to me. I wonder how many over engineered (web) applications could run as a single, efficient process on a single machine.
