> I have spent ~$50K on local AI hardware. The market value of that hardware is about ~$80K right now. That's easy because no matter what IT hardware you bought, it's worth more now than it was two years ago. That's someth

On what hardware do they run this? If I'll visit Shenzen, can I buy these chips? I'd much rather at this stage give money to any-other-manufacturer-than-Nvidia. I have a use case where I have to run local models, can't share

Why no Qi support on any watch ever? Those chargers are becoming commonplace in hotels, cars and homes but every frigging watch have to have their own cradle for them?

I'm using a cheap samsung watch, maybe 4? It's ages old at this point, but I need it to get contactless pay, I'm a sucker for it. I have multiple company and personal and virtual cards on it, and I don't like carrying a

Oh I like this idea. Looks simple and lightweight. Expensive as f though. Also the gear-thingy looks proprietary (=expensive).

So when can I buy MI350s for my homelab?

I've hosted my own synapse since 2019, maybe even earlier. Its the same virtualized instance, all I've ever done is update it. Never had to reboot it other than due to updates. Nothing in any logs?

yeah well I make top 1% of income earners in my country, but yet I don't have any liquid(able) assets worth high five figures. House, if I'd sell it, would likely be worth less than I paid for it before pandemic. I couldn't r

Why? To know more to train AI and sell your info to third parties. To spearhead ads to you. Why an earth would a big tech company say no to gather more info on its users? Show me the first one

what you maybe forget here is the use case for people and businesses who can not send the data to 3rd party due to privacy/contractual reasons. This is what I'm looking at, we're bound by strict policies for data sharing outs

> You don't own your fiber connection. So why try to own another rapidly depreciating, expensive, and annoying asset? Single mode fiber can serve for tens of years without problems and push the fastest speeds available today. I do n

Well, I didn't know it before I bought tesla (and have since sold it), but it's really convenient to pair the phone to the car and let it act as a key. I never had to worry about getting the keys, I just took my phone and it opene

TI-86 is the one in my case. We had to buy it in high school, and I used it so much in high school and in university after (I still have it in a box), that it's the only calculator I've since used. I absolutely have to have a TI e

Pilot here. While I definitely approve this and consider the limit to be one too many, I wish ecigarettes would be rather the target as soon as possible. Those are dangerous, and lately the most potential culprit for lithium related problem

It's no regulation, per se. ICAO sets up rules and its up to member states to create regulation based on that.

Well, fuck snaps, that is. Even though I've used ubuntu since 6.04, fuck snaps. I'm still stuck on Ubuntu even after 20 years. But fuck snaps.

How's the dex? It's close to the only thing I miss from samsungs, which I used good 15 years I guess before hopping onto grapheneos.

One of the greatest things I miss from Samsung after some time with GrapheneOS is the dex. The current provided desktop mode is rudimentary, and mostly working. But it has so much potential. We could have all in one device with us, and just

depends on work apps. I've only found two apps that dont work on graphene so far (google wallet and x). Decided I'd be able to survive without them.

by broadsidepicnic 7mo ago
There's some road ahead here. I enrolled my graphene into my company's intune, and I had to inject the play services via adb during the enrollment, as of course the graphene doesnt have play services available in the work profile

Taking their country? Unlikely. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but if 89,95M of 90M people are just looking at from the sides for years, I'm still not seeing that this would motivate people to revolt. Same thing as with the young ele

I think I should refrain from commenting political posts, but this one has a possibility of being something major. However, looking at how the US president has abused power, silenced those who are against the draft dodging crybaby and his l

While interesting (as I'm an airline pilot), is this hacker-news-interesting, per se? I come here to read news about Doom running on a cucumber, not piloting stuff.

Good, agreed. Let's just hope Anthony will read this. Also, speaking of trust, return the "never sell your data" to the FAQ.

I tried just yesterday with latest firefox and fedora, screen sharing didn't work out of the box. Only screen sharing by creating a virtual display worked, not sharing the current screen nor tab.

well, a browser owned (and de-owned) by an internet advertising company is enough for me not to ever touch that. We already have a chrome, which is one of the reasons we're in this mess to start with. And yea, I did use waterfox like a
