Do I have the perfect tea for you!

Moss loose leaf tea!

Understandably you won’t be running meta level Machine models, but running olama and downloading a open LLM model can get users started for simple things they might have already been doing.

I am running a fully local model for my smart home needs, since Google’s killed of Assistant and is now pushing Gemini down my throat, I figured I would just do it my self.

For anyone interested take a look at NetworkChuck on YouTube. His videos are a little to sensational for me, but he does have some interesting topics covered from time to time.

Prices will definitely rise to cover operating costs and to recoup all the investment costs.

I honestly hope the whole thing crashes once people realize they can run their own LLM on their own hardware.

The force awakens, in ma pants

Sometimes the hardware’s good, but the softwares shit. Google’s essentially Hammer Industries.

So it’s good to have alternatives in most cases.

How’s this different from the Chromebook, that Google cut updates to no less.

Will these new googlebooks come with the same update cycles?

Windows 11 broke windows 11

To this day I still can’t get icon desktops to stay in their place. Each time I make a new folder it move all my icons.

How trustworthy are those sites? I do use them time to time but always asking this question to myself.

Compression cock socks?

Sideing with the church on this one

Though the cynic in me believes (at this moment) the church might actually think “AI” is some omnipotent all powerful artificial intelligence, and not just some LLM “word spaghetti generator”.

Probably afraid that people might start treating it as some kind of all knowing “higher power”. (Who needs God if you have AI kind of mentally?).

To shreds, you say?

This really depends on your comfort levels TBH. My first NAS was a old motherboard with about 4gb of memory and a old core 2 duo cpu.

If you have any old components such as a old laptop, or a old pc, or maybe some thing like a raspberry pi you can start tinkering with Samba shares.

With a raspberry pi you could run something like HomeAssistant and setup a small smaba share. Plug a hardrive in and you have a network share to store files.

As for older pc components you can start with something like truenas, it’s a little bit of a learning curve but it’s a good way to tinker and slowly start to learn.

For me I run truenas for all my home NAS and media storage. On the side, another pc runs something called Unraid for services like Nextcloud and Immich to keep things separated.

Probably still easier to just adjust the DNS settings to block Sony servers. Do this under your network DNS setting on your ps5.

Not much TBH, it requires blocking Sony servers using DNS (stoping automatic updates). Then visting a specific website to load the exploits.

After the exploit is loaded your can install any custom packages as you like.

Interestinging topic, personaly I have only ever heard bus operators and transit agencies being opposed to any street redesigns that are marketed as a proposal to improving street safety, especially if the street redesign includes people that don’t drive.

For example installation of a raise crosswalk or a raised crossway receives immediate push back in my community by the bus driver and transit agency.

Even though a raised crosswalk and crossways has direct benefits to drivers, such as being able to see pedestrians and children more clearly when crossing. And don’t get me started on center pedestrian islands at crosswalks and crossway and the inclusion of bumpouts that prevent drivers from behind overtaken dangerously at a crosswalk and crossways.

Bumpouts are also a great way for a driver to see a pedestrians intent to cross prior to the pedestrian reaching the roadway as well, which allowed traffic to flow more predictably.

The area I live in we had a residential intersection upgraded to something like in the image below. Its great (not perfect) by great IMO, but i still see people in their large emotional support pickup trucks mounting the new curb and driving directly over the new bumpouts like some type of statement against better infrastructure.

I like your analogy and think it fits better for sure.

Yup that’s what I was getting at, but I like the pet analogy better that another commenter brought up.

AI is a tool

Similarly you can’t blame a hammer for causing harm, you blame the individual who holds it.
