I restore old non-functioning radios with nice design and good audio. I replace the old tech except the speakers with a raspberry add a mic array and package them with an easy to use ubuntu. whisper and the small gemma models made everything so much easier and private. I basically rewrite the whole backend with claude and created a nice first setup experience akin to other smartspeakers. It's amazing how good the sound is from these old speakers.

What do you do with the old guts? I suspect plenty of people would be interested in those (me included)

So it goes as planned.

"Government doesn't work, elect us and we'll prove it!"

It's tragic how well this fucking strategy keeps working in this country.

Don't just limit it to the US, it's going very well in the UK too!

Some are just completely fabricated so it's hard to say if they have equivalent uglier images with real data...

gen3 is 16 years old.

Mediatek and Nvidia the horsemen of abandoning hardware after a year. The Jetson family still left a bad taste in my mouth.

Qualcomm is too. They mainlined the GPU firmware for the X Elite 2nd gen, but still have not done so for their 1st gen X Elite which they promised full Linux support for and failed to deliver, and have now moved on pretending they never said that.

How dare you question the golden goose egg-laying algorithm for trillions in stock valuation!

I get barely 250 in europe.

You are only looking at your own consumption at the moment. There are a lot of problems that still need to be fixed especially with rope artifacting. The 4k most models taunt isn't equivalent to a real 4k image or video as well at the moment you need a quality factor of two to get the equivalent result of a shot image or video. Resolution does not indicate quality.

It's inherently about him because he is the one behind these changes.

You know most of them already have arm versions...

It's for people that can easily pump their AWS bill but not a new vendor.
