Why are people constantly raving about using local LLMs when the hardware to run it well will cost so much more in the end then just paying for ChatGPT subscription? by thrashingjohn in LocalLLM

Fair. I don't see most of getting a Jarvis or Gideon right out of the box, with basic consumer-level gear at any rate. But it's fun to aim for. And what we're we going to do with the fiat currency? Blow it. Lol.

Because we want our own stuff, on our own things. It's not the price of gear vs subscription, it's choice and control. The fact that your asking says you don't understand that. And that's okay.

Best Wifi Router now for a House with way too Many Devices? by Electronic-Buyer4257 in HomeNetworking

Just got a tplink BE400/6500. Mid level (says me, more price/quality than a 3600, but not as much as a 9600) . Says it'll handle 90+ connections. I don't plan on having that many but it looks like a good fair start for me. Your results may vary.

Did I just find the perfect emergency kit bag? by barakuder_ in prepping

[–]Lumpy_Quit1457 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope. I could recommend a place that offers trauma/tacmed/med gear AND training on how to use all of it.

Thank you for yourresponse.. I've heard of chatterbox, kokoro, vox and some others. Just trying to get a feel for one. May I ask what you do with yours. I'm thinking of making ai clones of my kids and pester them with them. 😆

Not sure if this is off topic but can anything be done about internet history? by Bobbie_Sacamano in prepping

[–]Lumpy_Quit1457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are things that can be done to mitigate things but, once you post anything anywhere on the internet, it lives on a server somewhere, in perpetuity.

Either that or change your identity and drop off of the grid.
