That is a patent, not a copyright. If you sell you car, you don’t have it anymore. If somebody steals your car, you don’t have it anymore. What I’m on about is the difference between material and intellectual goods. You can read it up, if your school didn’t cover it.

Of course I’m really not a fan of whatever they do and I would never buy an Ubisoft game for at least a decade now, but I still think that a lot of people should don’t know what buying means and that they never, ever bought (and hence owned) a game or movie. Those are not material goods like a car, which you can physically transfer from one person to another. Those are intellectual goods, and ownership here means you own all rights for it, which usually only the publisher has. What you buy online or in a shop is mere a license to watch/play/use/whatever and a medium with the associated data (like a DVD).

Therefore “piracy” had never been theft (or robbery, as it is called so nicely on German news). It is a license violation. Just that doesn’t sound as demonizing as the publisher want it to sound.

You do know what cats do with whatever that dot points on, right?

That is the entire second row about

Particularly cats have a very difficult to read style of showing their affection. So your pet might care more than you think. All the best!

My cat is now eating his medicine out of my hand, because he knows he will get a treat afterwards. You just need to have something they really crave.

LLM are used particularly to process big amounts of text. I remember my first encounter with it in 2009, somebody giving a talk about observing topics on Twitter, e.g. to track the source of fake news or figure out why some particular topic became viral.

You might already be using it regularly with a translation tool. Yesterday I just saw a foss app called receipt-wrangler, which uses LLM to parse shopping receipts, because a simple scan and ocr would still leave you with a highly unstructured heap of text, which is hard to parse into anything useful.

I’m very happy with my ASRock N100 (either m or DC). It has sufficient performance for my needs (proxmox with opnsense, jellyfin and various other services) while using very little power

I find it increasingly hard to find decent stuff without that.

Are you a Disney princess?

Nix is on my infinitely long list of stuff to get into, when I’m in better shape.

I really like the idea, but for my purpose an open case is a no-go. It’s for my Homeserver and I have two hyper active cats ;) but I was already thinking to get some kind of skeleton like this and put someone around. Is this applicable for micro ATX Mainboards?

ok, thanks. yes I noticed the realtek nic, but unfortunately I haven’t found a single MB with an intel chip below 200euro. So if this really causes issues, I’ll just get a PCIe NIC

they are a bit more pricy, but not much, so I changed that, thanks :)

what do you think about the ASRock B650M PG LIGHTNING, or the ASRock B650 PG LIGHTNING? latter is unfortunately not in stock, but besides the missing heatsink on top and the size I also do not really see a practical difference between the two

I went with .home and so far the problems are within reason

that is a good point, our flat is in an older house and feels like we need to vacuum every day… not speaking of the two meowing furrballs roaming around… that bringts me to another important case-related topic… I’ll never again buy a case in which the power buttons are on top… one of my cat was walking over the case and his paw was still small enough to press the power button… in the middle of a dota match… at least it lead to a good story

the one I listed checked all boxes, good thing to look for, for my last one I still needed to have an obsolete windows partition…

thanks for the clarification. I always thought those giant heat sinks, which one often find on gaming boards are snake oil to make it look cooler ;) but anyway… the CPU I am currently aiming for has a TDP of 65W, so that should be fine… GPU I don’t know yet, there I might reiterate. I’ll definitely keep it on my radar.

I really would love to have such a setup, but only if I have a “stable” daily driver as fallback.
