The update actually bricked my A7IV but I was able to fix it. I’ve done a video about how I fixed it on my channel just in case it happens to anyone else.
WOw, Bummer, but good you got it fixed, Seems like not such a great update other than getting their new Cloud base app, which I will most likely never use.
Same here. Bricked up one of mine. I removed the battery, formatted SD card, put in file again, popped as card in then put in battery and turn the camera on and waited a few mins and came back.
Updated just after release, have had no problems with any updates, as you and many others have mentioned, following instructions exactly is critical to having no issues :)
Hey Jason. Thanks for this walk through, I updated my A7IV with this new firmware. Then I noticed my sony remote controller (RMT-P1BT) stopped working right after. I thought it was the battery going bad, but it could be due to the Bluetooth pairng. Just like the imaging app/phone unpairing need to be reset and paired to the creators app. To fix this issue, I simply had to unpair and pair the bluethoot remote again and it worked. I thought I'd share this if anyone else with an A7IV has ran into this issue after doing the firmware upgrade.
I have a Sony A7iv. Started with v1.1. Updated to 1.05 then moved on to 2.00 right after the other update. I had no issues updating. I'm fairly new to camera work. I was a bit afraid to update. I only recently got the A7iv and its my first good quality and only camera I own. However, I made the punch anyway after doing my research and making sure the update was safe enough to move forward. My battery wasn't even fully charged either. It was at roughly 60%. I'm glad I did update. Wasn't a huge fan of edge imaging app compared to the creators app.
Have you noticed any negative effects? It's been 5 months, you probably should have noticed any issues by now if there were any. Which ''operational stability'' improvements were done? Has the issue with the not remembering SRGB/ RGB and with Raw settings in general before restarting and setting up restart? It's not an issue for me as it remembers it now. Do anyone of you know if firmware 2.0 will result in raw files work in Rawtherapee and Darktable? They currently don't, Rawtherapee, all adjustments work, but it changes resolution and stretches pixels on right side, Darktable squeezes the sides, reads wrong resolution. Lightroom works, so does Sony's own software, Imaging Edge Edit.
Nevermind Jason. I got it to update. Had to delete previous versions off of my computer, etc. That may have been the culprit. Its updating fine now and should work. So the solution is clear your download in the browser, delete any previous .dat files, then download a fresh version of 2.0.
I don't think all the older cameras will get the new Creators app. Possibly of new cameras added. As the app evolves and improves. Imaging Edge Mobile App will remain for the older cameras.
I have had real stability problems with the update. The process itself was smooth, but now my camera has a number of issues, including 1. apsc mode won't hold as it switches off for no reason, 2. metering modes won't stay set and will revert to multi-metering for no reason, 3. auto ISO acts up, such that pic is way overexposed. Really disappointed in the update as camera was rock solid before. Knew to wait, but . . .
@@sleepycatgamer Talked to Sony support. Had to reset the camera and reinstall the update to address stability issues. Camsets simply not compatible so had to redo. Solid now
Can you make a video of the Sony A7IV software update 3.02, I have 1.10 in my A7IV but I’m hesitating to update my Sony because all the problems in the software 3.02 Thank you 🙏
Jason, I'm hoping you can help me. I've not found a resolution so far. I follow the firmware instructions precisely, putting the update file into the root directory of the card, but when I go to setup / version / update, it says there's no media inserted in slot 1 (but there is) or the file is damaged. Can't seem to find a work around. I have version 1.11 on my a7 iv, which *should* be 1.05 or later. This has been extremely irritating and I'm going on day 5 with no results!
I did the update and had no issues. But it didn't unlock any features that made me into a better Photographer. Fix this Sony! I'm tired of being a rank amateur!!
Didn’t we have touch to focus and remote camera control on imaging edge too? That looks totally unchanged, the latency was great on 5.8ghz in pre 2.0 firmware
thanks, Jase...no problems whatsoever with my update though the connection to the new app is a bit finicky. Still feels like a gimmick rather than an absolute necessity. Time will tell
Tried to update today, 13.04.23. Followed all of Sony's instructions. Previews updates no problem. Just left my camera in the shop I bought it and it is going to be sent to the Sony center for repair or replacement. Update was going fine and at a certain point it started to blink 7 times slow followed by 7 fast blinks. Hate this updating system.
My Sony A7IV bricked and got in touch with Sony service by phone in Canada last Saturday and we tried to save it with no success. Now they gave me a list of authorized repair and said they can’t do nothing . I send it to Gentec in Markham near Toronto on Monday and now waiting for the estimate. The one year warranty is finish since the 27 December 2021 and since I paid it with my Visa card I have another year on warranty. So now I am waiting until Monday to contact Visa for more details and waiting for the estimate as well . Ask me if I will do a update on my camera again ….🤨
Recently my Sony a7iv's delete and movie button have stopped responding, I faced this issue a few months back and they returned my camera and it was working fine but still the problem is there.
I was hoping some other "fixes" would have been put in the update. I have been filming for the last 3-4 weeks with mine in 60p 4K and I get over heating ALL the time. Yes I know all the "tricks" to have it over heat "less" but dang it is frustrating. Where I live we are going out of Full summer, but my camera has been overheating on every shoot and it is actually not even that "hot" where I am shooting. The A7IV at 60p 4K is just too much for the camera most of the time. I will most likely go back to the FX3 but was trying to wait for the FX3II before I buy it again. Sold mine for more than I paid for it and actually like the A7IV. more except for the over heating problem. The Overall image quality is Better in my mind and the AF is better as well. Only thing I miss from the FX3 is the 12,800 ISO sometimes and it did not over heat ever.
Have you done all the “tricks” and followed them? Specially overheating setting to “high” you should not be getting over heating at all. It’s been a very hot summer here in australia and I have never had the issue
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Are you shooting in 60p 4K? I live in Chile and it is not even that hot here actually, Mostly indoors and yes I have tried every trick, Setting to high, Monitor open, but I get over heating a lot. I could never imagine in a place like Miami or some tropical humid hot place. last week on 2 separate shoots the camera would shut down from over heating. After turning the camera off and on it would work again but it is annoying to say the least. And I am not even shooting in the highest resolution either.
My understanding is that with this update we will no longer have the option of using Imaging Edge Mobile. So, to get the benefits of the new camera control app you must sign up for cloud. Also, this might well be the case for all future firmware updates (getting locked out of IEM and forced into cloud for cam control.) Correct? Is so, not a fan of this change.
@@z352kdaf8324 With the A7IV? Once you unpair IEM and pair the A7IV to the creators app you can't pair to the A7IV unless you do the same process. technically you can use it but you need to reverse the process. Makes it pointless pairing to the creators app in the first place. I mean you can make a nice detailed video about it if you like
I just updated my ILCE-7M4 and discovered a headache to solve: the Creator's App don't support Brazilian users. So, i can't download photos or videos to smartphone from the camera. I will need to use an notebook ou PC to do that, like the cave men did in the past :////
I use Monitor+ a lot for my external monitor, before I proceed with the firmware update, do you know if the new creators app has any incompatibility issues with 3rd party apps?
Can confirm. Can’t connect to Monitor+ after updating. Kinda wish I waited a bit to see which features we may have lost.. oh well. Creators app does seem to be working for me now; I’ve literally never used Imaging because of how god awful that app performed
JASON MORRIS that VARIABLE SHUTTER FEATURE IS MISSING ON THE FX3 THE FX30 HAS IT HAVE BEEN SCREAMING FOR IT, HAVE SENT EMAIL TO SONY & TO FEW OF YOU TUBERS TO ENLIGHTEN THIS SO WE CAN GET SOME UPDATE THIS AS WELL
I updated the Sony a7iv and on the 35mm1.4 I noticed that the focus is not 100%, I didn't like the update, then I tested the lens on the a7iii and it was 100%, I'm checking the possibility and trying to find a way to go back to the previous version of the update
But the phone control with the creator's app isn't much changed from the control through the imaging edge, am i wrong? With the imaging edge you can also control and change everything
hey Jason, I have a question. I have the sony a7IV firmware 2.00 and the portkeys lh5p II and I am having an issue getting the camera control to work have you tested these two with the 2.00 firmware? if you have a moment I would love to talk with you and see if maybe you can tell me what im doing wrong. it was working flawless with my sony a7siii and i tested with my a7iii with no issues but it doesnt work with the a7iv firmware 2.00
My 7iv just got messed up as I did the upgrade right here and now... Now it won't turn on or off, 1.5 hours after the update started. How does it get fixed :( ?
Hey Jason, Thanks for the detailed video. If I bought the a7m4 this week, it came with v1.00. Sony's website suggests that update it to 1.00 -to- 1.05 -to- 2.00. I have done that and my camera body has v2.00 now. I got confused when in the video you suggested updating a7m4 to 1.00 -to- 1.05 -to- 1.10 / 1.11 -and then- 2.00 . My question is, If I will go with sony's suggested route 1.00 > 1.05 > 2.00, am I going to get all the update benefits of 1.05 and 1.11 or I might miss anything 😶
I have adjusted all the settings and use a dummy battery and this shit still turns off after like 10 minutes in webcam mode and it also did it recording 1080p 60 footage on me indoors after 3 minutes.
I did the update and I regret it. Touch focus was not working in video mode in this app. In addition, I do not see the tracking point on the camera screen even if it is not connected to the application. I'm talking about video mode, of course. I much prefer the old camera control app, and luckily my FX3 is working normally.
Hey Jason have you tried the Firmware 2.0.1 update yet? I still have not gotten the 2.0.0 installed but wondering.. I have read some people saying third party batteries are not working properly and or the battery life left on the battery no longer works... Hope not
I did the update yesterday and now the Sony is in the Service Center to fix the problem. The LED on the backside is flashing 4x long and 5x short. Even when the cam is not powered on.
Sony is currently destroying the chips from the a1, A7SIII and other models. Before the 2.02 update on the a1, Bluetooth and WiFi were working, but now after the update the connection no longer works. Some a1 cameras also show crashes and freezes. Major firmware update fried motherboard!😱😡
Do you know if the 2.0 firmware will make the raw files work properly with Rawtherapee 5.9 and Darktable? or even let windows detect the correct resolution on every picture? it does not work properly with 1.11. Rawtherapee stretches the pixels at the right edge, and changes the resolution, widens the picture. apart from this all adjustments work, including all colour adjustments. Darktable has issues with resolution too, it detects different resolution both to Rawtherapee and to the actual resolution of the image, and exports a narrower image, and none of the color adjustments work. But good to know my used A7IV is fine, it's not an sensor issue, as Images aren't messed up in Irfan VIew. Update: I solved my issue with using LIghtroom. As I wanted more advanced features than Imaging app does, but if you cna't pay for that that's an option.
I did. Had to have a clean SD card with nothing else on it and it worked great. Tried with many cards that were formatted in camera and they won't recognize in slot one.
Hey guys, does anyone have sony firmware 2.0 downloaded they can send me? I want to update my camera's but I heard the latest (2.01 which is the latest one I can find online) takes away the battery percentage on non sony batteries. So I would rather update to 2.0 Thanks!
@@mcintosh.motors Thank you for contacting us, Sony A7 IV with 2.0 firmware temporarily does not work with wireless connection on Monitor+, we are currently working on this and will roll out a fix update soon. Monitoring + Support
I don't understand all the hate. The new app is much more stable than IEM. I figured I had nothing to lose with it's current issue. The new app is much better!
almost bricked mine, i ended up re-download, and try again, powered off the camera removed battery, just started over, it picked up where it failed or restarted. dodged a bullet. 🙂
@@mcintosh.motors hey I emailed the team at monitor plus a few days ago and they said their app works with v2.0, was wondering if you can confirm before I update mine
I unfortunately updated and it was a pain in the butt to get the camera to connect to the app and is still acting wonky. Imaging Edge worked perfectly fine. I was so annoyed by this move by Sony I actually started to really consider switching to Canon. I was also annoyed that this update didn’t bring new capabilities to the camera that should have been there in the first place like bulb timer, focus stacking, improved AF algorithms, etc.. Come on Sony you can do better.
Interesting as I bought an A7IV in Sept 2022 and IEM has never worked for me. Searched so many videos on it to no avail so the different experiences amongst people are intriguing.
It doesn't matter that the title makes no sense, as long as it sells People like him ,will do everything to make his viewership jump by several thousand. I have a lot of equipment from this company, no update has ever broken anything.
I'm an honestly so disheartened with Sony's lack of info and response on updating the A1. It's completely unacceptable and they should be ashamed. How many times do you need to get called out SONY? It's embarrassing
Yes here's for hoping this comes to the a7s3. Question, does this app support display gamma assist? That's a nlmust have feature for me to help with nailing exposure/WB.
Hey, i had my a7m4 and still doesn’t updated from first firmware 1.00, is that okay if i just update the firmware to the 2.00 ? I’m sorry I can’t fully understand about this
When updating from Ver. 1.01 or earlier, you need to update to Ver. 1.05 before proceeding with the Ver. 2.00 update. Only update to Ver. 2.00 after updating to Ver. 1.05. If you try to update to Ver. 2.00 without updating to Ver. 1.05, an error will occur and you will not be able to update.
Hi Jason, I have a call in to Sony, but hoping that you will have an answer too. I did the update, no problems. Installed the creator’s app. Again no problems. Controlled the camera, no worries. But how do I stop it looking for the camera when not using the app? I have an android phone. I stop the app so nothing is apparently running, but it is still searching for a camera (as shown by a swipe down on the standby screen).
Have you tried turning off Wifi and Blutooth on your phone or tablet, updating its OS and then trying again? I know someone who did that to fix the same.
Can upload from the web app but in bad definition different from origine. Note that all photos from people Creators’ there are in bad definition! Useful???
Hey Jason, I followed the exact instructions and updated to 1.05 then I tried to update it to 2.0, saw the "execute" button after scrolling all the way down, and then I got a message that said "The target model for the update file is incorrect." I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions?
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Why have none of you content creators tried the Geotagging!!!!!! Oh my! I have no reason to use the new app. I have my own NAS cloud. I don't need to be breast feeding on Sony's cloud.
Sony's firmware updates are notoriously unfriendly to do. The fact that there is so much fear and risk taken to update firmware just goes to show how bad it is. In a lot of my other devices, new firmware is exciting because it means more stability and more features. In Sony's case, people wait to see if it bricks the camera, or breaks features. The creators app is not worth upgrading for, and its broken Monitor+ as well, which is far better than the control you get from Creators app.
Hello everyone…be very careful before performing any updates on the SONY A7IV the firmware! This update firmware from 1.10 to 2.0 broke my Sony A7IV , Sony service and support Canada tried with me by phone to bring it to life with no success and gave me a list of authorized repair dealers to have it repaired at my cost , it’s out of warranty since the 27 of December 2021 and now it’s costing me $902,70 Canadian to have it repaired, ( have to change the "Mother Board " ) Sony says they can’t do nothing for me . GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!🙏🤞🥴

I have done that and my camera body has v2.00 now.
I got confused when in the video you suggested updating a7m4 to 1.00 -to- 1.05 -to- 1.10 / 1.11 -and then- 2.00 .
My question is,
If I will go with sony's suggested route 1.00 > 1.05 > 2.00, am I going to get all the update benefits of 1.05 and 1.11 or I might miss anything 😶
If you follow the full update procedure you won’t miss out on any features
where are you finding the older versions? I can't find them anywhere, only the newest firmware update :(
I have adjusted all the settings and use a dummy battery and this shit still turns off after like 10 minutes in webcam mode and it also did it recording 1080p 60 footage on me indoors after 3 minutes.
I did the update and I regret it. Touch focus was not working in video mode in this app. In addition, I do not see the tracking point on the camera screen even if it is not connected to the application. I'm talking about video mode, of course. I much prefer the old camera control app, and luckily my FX3 is working normally.
Hey Jason have you tried the Firmware 2.0.1 update yet? I still have not gotten the 2.0.0 installed but wondering.. I have read some people saying third party batteries are not working properly and or the battery life left on the battery no longer works... Hope not
I did the update yesterday and now the Sony is in the Service Center to fix the problem.
The LED on the backside is flashing 4x long and 5x short. Even when the cam is not powered on.
Did you see my comment here …I have the same problem…
I think my autofocus seems better after the update. I just dont know a good way to test it now that the update has been done.
Sony is currently destroying the chips from the a1, A7SIII and other models.
Before the 2.02 update on the a1, Bluetooth and WiFi were working, but now after the update the connection no longer works.
Some a1 cameras also show crashes and freezes.
Major firmware update fried motherboard!😱😡
issues is that updates get corrupted while downloading or copying to sd card which is why it bricks
I cant connect with a iPhone 14 pro Max
Imaging Edge Remote Mac stopped working with V2.0 on a7iv.
Any suggestions?
I wish they put Gamma Display Assist for S-Log shooters on the new Imaging Edge
Or ability to load luts
@@flochfitness yes, just like monitor+ app
Do you know if the 2.0 firmware will make the raw files work properly with Rawtherapee 5.9 and Darktable? or even let windows detect the correct resolution on every picture? it does not work properly with 1.11.
Rawtherapee stretches the pixels at the right edge, and changes the resolution, widens the picture. apart from this all adjustments work, including all colour adjustments.
Darktable has issues with resolution too, it detects different resolution both to Rawtherapee and to the actual resolution of the image, and exports a narrower image, and none of the color adjustments work.
But good to know my used A7IV is fine, it's not an sensor issue, as Images aren't messed up in Irfan VIew.
Update: I solved my issue with using LIghtroom. As I wanted more advanced features than Imaging app does, but if you cna't pay for that that's an option.
Hello! Can i update directly from 1.10 version? Thank you for your answer.
I did. Had to have a clean SD card with nothing else on it and it worked great. Tried with many cards that were formatted in camera and they won't recognize in slot one.
@@stevekatanik4952 Thank you!😃
Hey guys, does anyone have sony firmware 2.0 downloaded they can send me?
I want to update my camera's but I heard the latest (2.01 which is the latest one I can find online) takes away the battery percentage on non sony batteries. So I would rather update to 2.0
Thanks!
Does this update fix the AF issues with Sony A7IV?
Too late... I did the update and can no longer use Monitor+ 🤦🏻♂
Same 😢😅
@@mcintosh.motors Thank you for contacting us, Sony A7 IV with 2.0 firmware temporarily does not work with wireless connection on Monitor+, we are currently working on this and will roll out a fix update soon.
Monitoring + Support
to be fair imaging edge had most of these too
I don't understand all the hate. The new app is much more stable than IEM. I figured I had nothing to lose with it's current issue. The new app is much better!
i want return firmware 1.11 :( 2.0 very lag
almost bricked mine, i ended up re-download, and try again, powered off the camera removed battery, just started over, it picked up where it failed or restarted. dodged a bullet. 🙂
You said the only reason you don't use it is for false color and desqueese but the monitor plus has all that plus the ability to apply LUTS
Unfortunately for the time being Monitor + does not seem to work in V2.0
@@mcintosh.motors thanks for letting my know, Ill just stay on v1.04, haven't seen that much of a reason to update yet
@@mcintosh.motors hey I emailed the team at monitor plus a few days ago and they said their app works with v2.0, was wondering if you can confirm before I update mine
Jason, do you still have any overheating issues with ur A7IV in video mode?
You're probably totally wrong about doing away with IEM. That camera switched over to the other registration page in IEM with fx30/30/r5.
probably totally? That is a definitive uncertainty of an answer
I unfortunately updated and it was a pain in the butt to get the camera to connect to the app and is still acting wonky. Imaging Edge worked perfectly fine. I was so annoyed by this move by Sony I actually started to really consider switching to Canon. I was also annoyed that this update didn’t bring new capabilities to the camera that should have been there in the first place like bulb timer, focus stacking, improved AF algorithms, etc.. Come on Sony you can do better.
Canon doesn’t have any of these functions
Interesting as I bought an A7IV in Sept 2022 and IEM has never worked for me. Searched so many videos on it to no avail so the different experiences amongst people are intriguing.
Firmware 2.01 is out. Can we have a new video?
It’s just minor bug fixes. Nothing worth me making a video unfortunately
Thank you!
what about overheating?
Can you set a bulb mode for 900 seconds? Thank you +++
I read somewhere that this firmware update added 20 fps electronic can anyone confirm this
It doesn't matter that the title makes no sense, as long as it sells
People like him ,will do everything to make his viewership jump by several thousand.
I have a lot of equipment from this company, no update has ever broken anything.
Lol. You might want to reconsider your comment dude. Some Sony firmware updates have defected some cameras in the past. You’re welcome
I'm an honestly so disheartened with Sony's lack of info and response on updating the A1. It's completely unacceptable and they should be ashamed. How many times do you need to get called out SONY? It's embarrassing
Does it download raw to the creaters app or is it just jpeg?
Does it play back audio with video clips on the app? Thanks
Yes here's for hoping this comes to the a7s3. Question, does this app support display gamma assist? That's a nlmust have feature for me to help with nailing exposure/WB.
No gamma assit
i suggest using monitor+ app if you want more features like an external monitor
I have 3 different Sony cameras from different generations, crop and full frame and any Sony software program has to work with all 3.
Sounds good
Are we going to be able to do this with the A73?
Out of curiousity, did you turn on the soft skin tone function on your Sony A7iv while doing the recording?
I think he just has extremely well diffused light he used like a 300w light with a huge soft box
Hey, i had my a7m4 and still doesn’t updated from first firmware 1.00, is that okay if i just update the firmware to the 2.00 ? I’m sorry I can’t fully understand about this
When updating from Ver. 1.01 or earlier, you need to update to Ver. 1.05 before proceeding with the Ver. 2.00 update. Only update to Ver. 2.00 after updating to Ver. 1.05. If you try to update to Ver. 2.00 without updating to Ver. 1.05, an error will occur and you will not be able to update.
@@anas_almajed thanks ..
ALGUEM CONSEGUIU O CREATORS PRO IPHONE?
Hi Jason, I have a call in to Sony, but hoping that you will have an answer too. I did the update, no problems. Installed the creator’s app. Again no problems. Controlled the camera, no worries. But how do I stop it looking for the camera when not using the app? I have an android phone. I stop the app so nothing is apparently running, but it is still searching for a camera (as shown by a swipe down on the standby screen).
Have you tried turning off Wifi and Blutooth on your phone or tablet, updating its OS and then trying again? I know someone who did that to fix the same.
@@DerbJd The OS is up to date through auto updates, but I will try what you said in case it missed one. Thanks.
Can’t upload pictures to cloud from iPad !
Can upload from the web app but in bad definition different from origine. Note that all photos from people Creators’ there are in bad definition! Useful???
Hey Jason, I followed the exact instructions and updated to 1.05 then I tried to update it to 2.0, saw the "execute" button after scrolling all the way down, and then I got a message that said "The target model for the update file is incorrect." I don't know what to do now. Any suggestions?
I think there’s another update after 1.05 then you can update to 2.0
@@touayg1106 no. I was able to update from 1.05 to 2.0.
I don't know why but I can't see cloud space available in India after the update for my Sony a7IV
Go onto the creators cloud website on Sony
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema can't get the storage option only options I am getting are of the home page and add camera in India
Don’t update if you won’t use new functions!
creator's app not available in Brazil 🤧
That is a shame
Does geotagging your pictures during Shooting still works?
I haven’t tried that
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema Why have none of you content creators tried the Geotagging!!!!!! Oh my! I have no reason to use the new app. I have my own NAS cloud. I don't need to be breast feeding on Sony's cloud.
me buying monitor+ a few months back 😑😑😑
I heard it disables the ability to use it
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema oh that would be terrible
Sony's firmware updates are notoriously unfriendly to do. The fact that there is so much fear and risk taken to update firmware just goes to show how bad it is. In a lot of my other devices, new firmware is exciting because it means more stability and more features. In Sony's case, people wait to see if it bricks the camera, or breaks features. The creators app is not worth upgrading for, and its broken Monitor+ as well, which is far better than the control you get from Creators app.
Do I have to update to use the creator app?
No you don’t
@@JasonMorrisphotocinema I didn't do the update and the app can't find my camera
This update it's bad joke . Sony left behind users A74.
Still worse than the Monitor+ app :D
Hello everyone…be very careful before performing any updates on the SONY A7IV the firmware!
This update firmware from 1.10 to 2.0 broke my Sony A7IV , Sony service and support Canada tried with me by phone to bring it to life with no success and gave me a list of authorized repair dealers to have it repaired at my cost , it’s out of warranty since the 27 of December 2021 and now it’s costing me $902,70 Canadian to have it repaired, ( have to change the "Mother Board " ) Sony says they can’t do nothing for me .
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!🙏🤞🥴
I didn't want to upgrade, but then saw 25gb cloud storage for free. Sure, I immediately upgraded for that, and then hope to see some good AI tools.
It’s only early days so let’s see what they add
You are better off buying a NAS instead of trusting your stuff to some company.
@@josebrivera1716 I don't need NAS, I am only interested in seeing what AI has to offer.
