I remember them as being not really open source, and being pissy about OSI.

I’ll stick to not using futo at this time.

I’d prefer the first time that they finish, with a lasting stillness after. No need for a second round.

Well thats a pretty unhelpful automatic replacement lol

Bitchat maybe? Or that one in js, I think meteorchat?

I just use Debian… I won’t touch Ubuntu as a server anymore (or a desktop either, but really that stems from the server side for me).

Vanilla Debian or proxmox is functionally all I’ll use at this point, including with 3 AMD machines (two 1700x, one 5700x). Though none with an and igpu, mostly older dgpu’s.

Edit: The point being, maybe figure out what the problem is here rather than going Ubuntu, which has been a huge security problem in the past (snap + docker especially).

Potentially 1st to 3rd (mayyyybbbeeee 4th) gen Intel iX series. On the edge of useful for common tasks. Can support most DEs, but not necessarily a great experience depending on what you want running.

Best use for them is going to be light server tasks, but just to mention, latter versions were drastically more efficient, so you may pay more in a power bill than it would cost to look for more recent ewasted hardware. I generally pick up 6th gen or newer, for reference, though I have a 4th gen doing… Something. I think all thats on there is some webserver stuff, DNS, etc.

Could also be usable as a kids PC for gcompris, emulation for the less modern environments, etc. If you would consider a raspberry pi, its a solid fit.

Without more spec details it would be tough to say more.

What kind of machines are we talking about here?

A recent-ish tiny/mini/micro is a vastly different answer than a kaypro luggable.

Why can’t they just pull over the vehicle, impound it, and have everything happen like it would with anyone else?

I really wish I had that answer, to me it makes the most sense too.

Like you said though, the fines would go to the rental company, and thats the liability we are talking about here.

So it’s the rental car companies responsibility to enforce the law?

Kind of.

These are cars registered with the state, owned by the rental companies. Which makes them their cars, and their liability.

It isn’t so much that its their job to enforce the law, but their vehicles being used in violation of the law. If these were federally owned vehicles, they wouldn’t be required to register with the state, and it would be kind of irrelevant in that regard.

They aren’t though. These are rental company vehicles.

The goal, if I had my guess, is to make rental companies unwilling to rent their cars out due to the liability associated here. By publicly stating it like this, it gives a reason for the rental companies to say they can’t rent them out to DHS anymore. That part is just my guess though.

Regarding point 1, its a factored in value already. Replacing multiple stages of production simultaneously is a massive risk - voice acting + editing + editor review + production review on the cut.

This part:

it’s entirely possible that they did, in fact, do quality review. Extensively. But at some point the generation costs exceeded their allowed budget and this is what they settled on.

I’d call entirely likely.

It would also mean that there was almost no testing of the llm’s output prior to pushing it to production work, or basic items like intonation would have been called out.

Its also possible that the production team knew it was dogshit and pushed it out on purpose so people could see it for dogshit. Anime fans are not known for being supportive of poor adaptations after all, maybe they hoped for backlash? I know if I were on that team I’d prefer it.

At some point I’d expect management to have recognized it for being terrible though.

So do they not even have internal review?

OK, so it gets generated. Just like if someone sent a real recording, someone should listen to it, right? And make mention if there’s parts that are noisy, or theres a random change in eq that feels jarring, or… I don’t know, because it sounds like an adult voice on a 6yr old reading the lines?

My needs are light for its use honestly. I work from home, so on the go I mostly need something to take notes on or maybe write some code on the go, which its more than enough for. But there is all kinds of fun stuff posted up on mastodon for MNT, like egpu use, enhancements, etc.

But one thing I’d say about the rk3588 is that the performance charts can be misleading. Single core performance, an n100 would win, but parallel processing the 3588 is a champ. It also wins on power and heat. You can run a VM, do some builds, and even light gaming on them. When I compare it to crap ive used in the past that couldn’t do half of that for twice the weight and size, it just seems like a handy workhorse to me.

I’d also mention that the approach from MNT includes easy upgrade paths, including CPU, which they’ve done for the laptop model already.

Couldn’t say whether it works for your needs obviously, but I’d say check against tasks rather than benchmarks.

As far as the t480, similarly I just made sure it had enough ram. Honestly I have a few ssd’s around for various reasons so I’d just swap in whatever, again light on storage requirements when on the go. The biggest problem I have is the battery, internal is at about 50% and external about 70%, so I’ll need to replace that at some point. Still get a good 3-4 hours out of it no problem though, and a replacement for each is like $20-$40 so no big deal. I also dont mind waiting for a bit of a deal though (and really like keeping perfectly good hardware working for me), so I’m happy with it. I did put arch on there over my usual (Debian), and builds there are fairly quick if I let it use all the cores.

Im really, really into it. I’d carry it everywhere.

But I also just recently got a t480 and a whole bunch of drives for my main NAS (which means moving the replaced stuff around to the backups), so not spending more right now for sure. Otherwise I’d have already ordered 😃

KDE is one, a bunch of more esoteric ones for work stuff (paid by work, so doesnt really count), jellyfin, etc.

Right now I’m mostly saving it to purchase hardware, open hardware specifically. I want an MNT Pocket Reform really bad, and it supports their efforts that I want to see more of, so win-win.

Around the end of the year I look at what I’m running for a while and what I haven’t donated to, and distribute accordingly.

David B. Rankin, the family’s attorney, in a statement to Newsweek: “It is truly mystifying how any detention facility can let someone leave their room, create three nooses and then hang themselves without anyone knowing. What’s worse is the lack of mental health care which could have prevented this tragedy. Mr. Ge’s death represents a totally failure on the part of the GeoGroup and the DHS.”

Seems like everyone is playing along with the claim of suicide while trying to get the details from DHS/GeoGroup.

There is a whole lot to jellyfin that mpv doesnt cover.

I’m glad youre enjoying the setup, but its hardly a replacement for jellyfin in the vast majority of cases.
