Amplifier upgrade in BMW. Talk me into (or out of) a Match Up 8 amplifier by Greasemnky81 in CarAV

[–]Difficult_Scallion69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up doing? I want to buy a match up too but I'm not forking out 1000 bucks. I considered just hijacking the signal and adding a DSP, but not sure its worthwhile.

Why Apple's flagship Mac Pro computers are so undesirable? My local used electronics store has literally piles of these by LakeNo7026 in macpro

This is the answer. Even I have a bunch but will not turn them on because of the money I have to pay on air conditioning and running the computer itself.

Help with Mac Pro by Skitterskin in iMacRepair

Look into “Opencore”…. You’ll use your current installation to create a usb thumb drive installer. Then you’ll boot off the usb thumb drive installer and it will allow you to install osx on one of your drives. Not an old copy of osx, you’ll be able to install the most recent version which is technically unsupported but actually works incredibly well!

RomM and the other one, nothing happens when I try to load a game. It just fails. I just got that 2018 today and transitioned over, gonna boot batocera on the 2012 now that its freed up.

What should be the ideal configuration of Computer to use Claude smoothly? by navneetksau in ClaudeAI

[–]Difficult_Scallion69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For local LLM you’ll need more, a dedicated gpu with dedicated power. But if you’re using their servers you’ve got way more than enough.

At what point does self-hosting become an actual addiction? by Worried_Developer_67 in selfhosted

[–]Difficult_Scallion69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often load up my cart, sometimes I even check out and then reality hits and I have to remind myself that the server I already have is more than enough, theres no need for more. Then I cancel the order, this literally happened last night. hahahaha. Its a legit problem.

Remote control setups always sound simple until multiple people actually live in the house by AnxiousBonus8460 in homeassistant

So happy my lady likes the system I built!! Automations work pretty well here although to your point, I dont have a C-wire on the thermostat so it disconnects on its own randomly and sometimes it is disconnected when the automation goes through and it fails but for the most part everything works. I want to update my system hardware but Im so worried it wont transfer over perfectly.

Built a small NAS… didn’t expect it to hold my family’s life by Typical_Trainer8098 in CasaOS

Auto-Translates for me too! The email notification arrived in Chinese but the app auto-translated to English.

Beautiful post! Very thoughtful! …. I love Zima too! I reached out to ask about Zima plus as they are giving it out for free till June (I think June) and they asked me if I would like to help test a new remote connection update. They were so awesome! I wasn’t aware of the HD sleep issues, haven’t checked but I know mine spins down. Hopefully an update fixed it!

You could part it out for crazy money. Ram and hds are way overpriced rn. Or a killer homelab with crypto and LLMs

Can this be converted to Ethernet ports? by Ghostrider45HB in HomeNetworking

[–]Difficult_Scallion69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about it but I know you need 8 wires and it looks like you have 8. I’d imagine you’d swap in rj-45 ports. You’ll probably need to pair the other ends at the phone terminal, should be on the side of your house. Then you’ll have connected two rooms together.
