They’re Ryzen processors with “AI” accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.

Does he have much experience with computers? Not sure if it’d be easier to set him up with something like ChimeraOS that just runs Steam and the game or a basic desktop environment so he can write stuff and browse the internet.

In the aged care home I work in, we’ve had a few who can work a smart phone but most can barely work their TV. Being into RC planes might work in his favour.

The eSafety commission argued that “well everyone just uses VPNs anyway so it won’t matter”

Eh, have you seen some of the bots that just repost reddit content verbatim? Some trash slips through the cracks.

This is just an ad for something called PrivateLINE (no relation).

We’ve got DVDFab bots here on Lemmy now?

The computer should only be for education, high morals, and bettering our humanity. Not for pornography and not for exploiting women.

Event planning platforms are never going to compete with massive social communication platforms, they’re entirely different ends of the stick.

As long as Mobilizon continues to work, that’s all I ask for.

A lot of EV auto makers have been arguing that the frequencies that some of the electrics in the cars run at interfere with AM radio reception.

Not sure if that’s a legitimate argument or they just don’t want to pay for extra shielding to block out the noise.

For a second there I thought they were bringing in Don Mattrick. That would have really killed off Unity.

Seriously, how many higher ups at EA go on to Zynga?

Who knows, some of them could have grown up to be Hamas fighters. Can’t be too careful when you want to clear out and pave over the Gaza strip.

Shame nobody has been able to reuse the existing Google board but this is probably the next best thing. Might have to pick up a few boards.

SEK have done a ton of animation work for foreign firms. This is probably the only way they’re getting outsourcing work done now since all of the sanctions were put in place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEK_Studio

You’re kissing girls, aren’t you?

The Saturn was bleeding them dry outside of Japan. They would have either died supporting the Saturn or trying to keep the Dreamcast relevant during the run of the PS2.

Sony was a force to be reckoned with and Sega just didn’t have the funds nor the presence to compete with them.

What’s your use case? Likeminded techie friends? Family members?

Signal works well as an alternative to the likes of Telegram and WhatsApp, even if it still requires a phone number and is centralised. Far easier to explain to the family instead of “oh well you can sign up on this website or this website or that website”.

Granted, if you want to host a small Matrix server just for the family, then go for it.

I’ve been a Posteo customer for a few years and they’ve been great. €1 a month, mail storage encryption, works great with any IMAP client.

As good as the intentions of Tutanota and Proton are with free plans, the likes of Gmail have taught me to be very wary of free plans of anything.

This truly is text.

Debian has official support for RISC V boards, but they don’t have officially available images for those boards (at least not the Mars).

Finally, a new strand-type game.
