Q&A Comments (10)

I'm getting a conversation not found error, what should I do?
That error usually means there's a problem with the connection between your browser and the ChatGPT server. It can happen if the session token stored in your browser expires, if you've lost connection, or if their system is down. What you can do is to refresh the page, which often resolves it by renewing your session token and restoring the connection to your previous conversation. Also, some people mistake that error for ChatGPT being unable to find an answer, but that's not the case. If ChatGPT can't answer a question, it will say so directly in the prompt, rather than showing a "conversation error not found" message.
Is trusting an app safe for my phone?
It will depend on where you got the app. If you're downloading apps from the Apple App Store, you're generally safe because Apple has strict guidelines and they have a review process that ensures all apps meet security and privacy standards. However, if you're installing apps from outside the App Store, known as "sideloading," the risks increase because those apps aren't verified by Apple. When you trust an app, you're allowing it access to certain parts of your device, so it’s crucial to stick with trusted sources and check reviews before downloading.
Should I replicate an error before publishing the IT report?
Yes, I highly recommend replicating the error before publishing your report. Doing this ensures that you fully understand the issue and can provide accurate, reliable information. So you should research the problem first, then replicate it in a controlled environment, like a dummy project or a local setup. Doing this helps you confirm the error and see how it behaves under specific conditions. Once you've recreated the problem, document the steps clearly so others can follow along. Sharing your code or a testing environment—such as a GitHub repository or a Code Sandbox—allows others to verify your findings and test the solution themselves. This way, your report is not only thorough but also practical, making it easier for others to address the issue in their own systems.
