Simon TathamGeneral reminder:
The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.
Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and it always has been.
You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.
Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

I don't use generative AI. I have a computer science degree so I understand how large language models work, and I don't believe that they have any value. They are just stochastic parrots. That they so beguile their users with vapid statistically-probable output is distressing.
But LLMs have still changed my life, because the training models are forever scraping my personal web site, costing me bandwidth and money, violating the copyright on my original content without my consent. The datacentres that house LLMs consume vast amounts of energy and fresh water, an environmental disaster in the making.
I expect that in the future, LLMs will once again change my life as I'm called to cover for an entire generation of workers who lack important life skills such as composition and critical thinking. I'm not exactly looking forward to it.
@bagder If you need a docking station, HP TB4 dock works well (and supports 3 4k monitors all running at 60Hz).
