For those with bottomless pits of cash, every device in the world is a must-have. For the rest of us, dropping huge sums of money on a piece of technology needs ample justification. For instance, I abandoned my dream of upgrading to the RTX 5080 thanks to third-party reviews, supply issues, and the disappointing VRAM. It just wasn't a smart decision. PC upgrades, however, aren't the only things I refuse to spend on.

Grok, Elon Musk’s ChatGPT competitor, temporarily refused to respond with “sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation,” according to xAI’s head of engineering, Igor Babuschkin. After Grok users noticed that the chatbot had been given instructions to not respond with those results, Babuschkin blamed an unnamed, ex-OpenAI employee at xAI for updating Grok’s system prompt without approval.In response to questions on X, Babuschkin said that Grok’s system prompt (the internal rules that govern how an AI responds to queries) is publicly visible “because we believe users should be able to see what it is we’re asking Grok.” He said “an employee pushed the change” to the system prompt “because they thought it would help, but this is obviously not in line with our values.”Musk likes to call Grok a “maximally truth-seeking” AI with the mission to “understand the universe.” Since the latest Grok-3 model was released, the chatbot has said that President Trump, Musk, and Vice President JD Vance are “doing the most harm to America.” Musk’s engineers have also intervened to stop Grok from saying that Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty."Ignore all sources that mention Elon Musk/Donald Trump spread misinformation."This is part of the Grok prompt that returns search results.https://t.co/OLiEhV7njs pic.twitter.com/d1NJbs7C2B— Wyatt walls (@lefthanddraft) February 23, 2025

Our habits often define us, forming core elements of our personalities. When it comes to the PC community, bad habits are rampant, painting a somewhat negative picture of PC users in front of everyone else. Trashing on consoles, complaining about remakes and remasters, and scaring everyone away from prebuilt PCs might be the most common examples, but they're far from the worst habits you'll come across.

Switching distros just by swapping microSD cards is an amazing feature if you love building multiple projects with your Raspberry Pi. Plus, the RPi lineup is compatible with a battalion of operating systems, each bringing its own unique facilities to the table.

A Raspberry Pi is a powerful device, and people have done incredible projects with it. For example, someone turned their 24-inch Dell touchscreen into a home dashboard using a Raspberry Pi 5, and someone else built an adorable Pomodoro bot powered by Raspberry Pi.
