Neat, have been wanting something like this for a while now. The current value shown is pretty useless when transferring over network and the speed fluctuates quite a bit.

Why does an AI require a gazillion pages to learn, but the quality is still unimpressive?

Because humans learn how to read and interpret those pages in school. Give that book to a toddler and not much will happen other than some bite marks.

AI needs to learn the language structure, grammar, math, logic, reasoning, problem solving and much more before it can even be trained with anything useful. Humans take years to acquire those skills, AI takes more content but can do that training much faster.

Maybe it is the wrong way to train machines but for now we have not invented robot schools yet so it’s the best we got.

By the way, I still think companies should be banned from training with copyrighted content and user data behind closed doors. Keep your models in public domain or get out.

I’ll check out Dreame, I have not heard much about them.

Roborock, Dreame and Xiaomi are functionally almost identical. Some of them even share the same parts.

If you want to root them, get a Dreame or a Xiaomi. Most of them are rootable without disassembly, see the list linked above.

I rooted both of my Roborock S6.

If you can solder and have an UART USB cable, it’s not really hard to do. Technically you can flash it by just holding your UART adapter against the solder pads but soldering them on definitely makes it easier.

There’s a full video guide on how to dissassemble and root here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9PoaNtZCJRZc61c792VCr_I6jQK_IdSb

Firmware and everything else is here: https://builder.dontvacuum.me/_s6.html

Also, if you don’t have a Roborock yet, the Dreame models are significantly easier to root. Don’t even have to disassemble most of them.

Doesn’t apply to iRobot but there are lots of robot vacuums that can be flashed with an open firmware with just a USB UART cable: https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html

As for the other devices, my 3D printer, projector and AV receiver are all locally controlled.

Do you like the one from 1990?

I tried watching that one a few years ago. It aged poorly

The only Marvel movies I like and they are not even made by Marvel.

I played quite a bit of Elite: Dangerous in VR on my Saitek X-55 in Linux. Worked out of the box.

Cool, hope it makes it to blu-ray and they went through the trouble to do a proper rescan instead of just upscaling.

Dope, seems to not have landed yet in LineageOS but the Terminal app is already installed. Just missing the toggle in the developer options.

With the latest release of android it now supports some Linux functionality.

Wait, it does? Gonna have to check that out.

I disagree, LLMs have been very helpful for me and I do not see how an open source AI model trained with open source datasets is detrimental to society.

I’ll bite, what is malicious about this?

In case you didn’t know, you can send a YouTube URL to Kodi by sharing it from your phone to the Kore app.

So you can do your browsing on your phone/tablet and when you want to watch something on the big screen, you just share it with the Kore app and it will start playing.

You are missing the Muse for your Poet. :D

I have an Alienware AW3423DWF and use it with Fedora KDE.

No problems here. Some games don’t support ultrawide without mods but I haven’t encountered any of these mods that don’t work on Linux yet.

As for HDR, it should be ready for primetime once Proton 10 comes out with Wayland support. As of right now, you have to either run your game through gamescope or use Wine/Proton with Wayland support enabled, e.g. Proton-Tkg (Wine master).

It’s a really good monitor by the way, still impresses me with its pure black on a regular basis, even in SDR.

It’s a credit or debit card where you can change the number at any time. Prevents shady online shops from loosing your credit card details. Revolut and N26 offer it for example.

Of course, the shop still has to accept credit/debit cards or you have to go though PayPal as guest.

You are telling me you are paying via PayPal without involving the banking industry?

I have the choice to either tell PayPal and my bank what I’m buying or just my bank. I chose the latter.

I once got banned for “vote brigading” on Reddit because I upvoted a crosspost that was deleted later, so this comes as no surprise. They have been monitoring upvotes and downvotes since forever.

Do you need one?

I recently deleted my PayPal account and use a virtual credit card instead.

So far no issues with paying. In the rare case that credit card is not available you can always pay without account in PayPal via credit card.
