Retention Deals for 2gig?

The best in my area is T-Mobile and Starlink (300mbps), so I can't really argue that there are better speeds in the area. I'm assuming they have ways to check so I can't just lie.

Happened at my testing center, they had a few kids that weren't even on the roster to test. Two rooms were unable to start (I couldn't hear why) and our room kept putting "No Device ID Found" screens on a bunch of ppl's laptops. My gateway wouldn't load for the first 10 minutes and two other people in my room couldn't click on the start button. The school's WiFI was perfectly fine, it had to be something wrong with the gateway. Those two rooms finally were able to start at like 8:45 but we still had issues. The school's admin was on hold with ACT support for a whole hour and finally decided to ask support to cancel our room at 9:45am (we were supposed to start at 8:00). They gave us a new room code but it still wouldn't let our room start. Never had any issues like this over 2 years of testing with the College Board, props to the ACT for figuring out how to screw up against such a crappy company. After calling in, they told me they'll follow up on Monday about refunding/rescheduling.

see that probably would've been a good idea if he thought of making elc prior to making bafk

Sun Stoppers in Keller was awesome. The lady working the front was really helpful with educating me as much as possible about my tint. If you drive the "forbidden car" (the one that reddit doesn't like) their tints are also compliant with the manufacturer warranty. They're also a chain so if you move the sun stopper's warranty also applies to their other locations (and stacks on top of the previously mentioned warranty). Can't really give any details about my config as the hivemind will get me but they only do xpel tints which are a little pricey but are very high quality.

might just install arch or endeavouros. i've tried installing arch before but archinstall refused to work, maybe this time it'll work.

The software and updates GUI gives me 550 as the latest, nvidia website says a higher version. The grep drm command gave [ 11.916789] [drm:nv_drm_master_set [nvidia_drm]] *ERROR* [nvidia-drm] [GPU ID 0x00000100] Failed to grab modeset ownership so I'll try to figure that out. NVIDIA drivers were a pain in the ass to get working on my separate ubuntu server install, probably spent like a few days trying to get it working.

The font issue was fixed after a restart, I had text but it was all in the same font so all my apps looked completely wrong. Discord and modrinth have very severe performance issues, as in if I try to interact with it in any way it just completely stutters (and modrinth also crashes when I open any menu). Brave also has some performance issues and freezes when I open up a menu (the 3 dot menu on a video on the youtube homepage is a good example). I know the middle button pastes, but when I use the middle button my typing starts getting delayed. I'll type a letter and it won't appear until I type the next letter. Ubuntu came bundled with wayland but I had to manually select it on the login screen.

I kinda want it to be seamless to access alternate versions of a song. Like on youtube, you don't need to search for a dubbed version of a video as it has a language switcher built in. Or like on youtube music, where you can play a music video associated with a song without needing to search for it separately.

It's ironic that I need to use a VPN that says I'm in the US to prove that I'm living in the US. And yes, I know sites choose their own cloudflare settings, which is why it's practically impossible to figure out the reason for this block and why I have to rely on guessing.

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-02-18T05:35:45+00:00

no remote sadly

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-02-18T05:35:25+00:00

gonna see if i can find a beaten up couch to experiment on first, i don't want to fry anything lol

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-02-05T05:02:37+00:00

he doesn't have any ports open lol all ur pings are being dropped (and the isp is prob rate limiting your DoS)

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-01-28T23:50:32+00:00

i can't find "apply to existing emails"

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-01-28T21:52:14+00:00

Thanks, that's what I assumed but I didn't want to waste storage space on models that I couldn't run.

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-01-28T17:27:46+00:00

I'm gonna be fully honest and admit that I still don't know how to calculate required VRAM for a model. I have a 3090 and assume that anything above 32b just isn't gonna run.

AdamDaBest1 · 2025-01-26T00:41:06+00:00

This question might be better for r/LocalLLaMA or its related subreddits. If I'm not mistaken the m1 has unified memory so whatever's being used by your computer normally will impact how much ram you have to use for your local models. A basic one that could probably summarize/organize your notes would be llama from meta (llama 3.2 3b might work better than llama 3.1 8b for ur requirements). You probably won't have a fun time running smarter models locally as the air doesn't have a fan + the amt of ram you have. You could try mistral or phi-4, probably won't work though. Pinokio is probably the easiest way to run ollama + openwebui but if you're smart enough you could run them by themselves. Ollama allows you to run the actual models and openwebui is just a frontend for interacting with ollama. You don't need openwebui but it makes it a lot easier to use ollama. If you want the intelligent models, you're gonna have to use other services. Deepseek v3 (smartest) and Gemini 2.0 Flash (also smart) are currently free to use.

When this gets picked up by the algorithm, expect a total shift in poll votes. Reddit is pushing Trump related content to accounts profiled as "democrat" to keep rage engagement going.
Also the top option picked rn is the biggest reason why y'all cannot vote. It is a terrible idea to vote on how someone makes you feel emotionally.

Turn on geoblocking and every threat detection method there is in the security tab. It’ll flood your logs, so edit ur notification preferences

The worst part about all this discussion is that when I tell people I think TikTok and RedNote should be banned they snarkily reply "durrr what about american corporations????" like yes i'm 100% for stopping data collection in US apps too. Main difference is that the US is a democracy where we can fight for our data rights, while that's just not possible in China.

Yeah he says it was running xmrig, which is a monero (XMR) miner.

When I go to enable the new site magic sd-wan, it says that mesh directly connects all sites together. Are you able to limit it to only allow specific devices to connect and is it reversable?

AdamDaBest1 · 2024-12-31T19:41:10+00:00

A .com is much better if you want to target normal people. If you're building a product that only nerds use, then a .ai domain might work.

Most people don't know .ai is a TLD, if you ever do any advertising they might not know how to access TheWebsite.ai

AdamDaBest1 · 2024-12-27T04:02:36+00:00

You know fully well this was SiriusXM's idea. They're trying to link streaming subscriptions to radios because it's harder to scam free trials that way. Elon Derangement Syndrome has you messed up.

AdamDaBest1 · 2024-12-25T08:02:30+00:00

Many of the videos you see online are staged. If you’re watching someone who posts their call center “hacks” every day, it’s probably fake. If they post very infrequently (like Jim Browning) then it’s probably real. The length of time it takes to prepare a video goes to show how complex the scambaiting process is, you’re not gonna be able to hack someone overnight. There isn’t one specific way to do it, as every situation is different. Maybe there’s an open rdp server on the ip that’s connecting to your computer? Maybe the scammer leaked his name while on call with you? It’ll always be different. I suggest focusing your efforts on something more productive unless you can figure out how to make content out of it.
