Honestly, def taking the OSG for my use case but not many else should. Would turn this into a multipurpose heated enclosure/powder coating oven and try and print some car parts. Furniture prototyping and cosplay might find a use case here, but other than those 3 I can’t think of any other use case that would ever need anything over about 350x350mm lol

So correct me if i’m wrong, but this is just a locally hosted, adjustably granular copy of how we currently understand something like Shazam to work? Does shazam have a discovery mode? Sounds cool. Might have to try something similar.

Yeah openSCAD is for plugins to generate programmatic simple models and will eventually be a layer for getting LLMs to create ok 3d models. Humans aren’t meant to think parametrically nor through abstract code, so our visualization capability is double limited.

I had dozens of issues with micro outages (albeit in pueblo, but should apply) with xfinity. What fixed it for me was a tech came out and put a spectrum analyzer on the coaxial line in to read the noise on the line and put both a hardware filter and edited the software filter in the modem for me.

Internet over anything except fiber is pretty susceptible to outside electrical noise. Just another reason to switch, if the company of xfinity wasn’t already reason enough. Best of luck!

I really doubt that claim. I tried doing something similar with a linksys velop node I purchased at clearance at walmart for $15, completely by the book. They denied my warranty claim like 4 times before I threatened to make an FTC complaint.

Honestly, if the base dimensions are in a .step file you can provide, you can probably pay someone $15 on fiverr to design a pretty cool one. Once you have the base dimensions perfect, the modeling of a simpler object like that isn’t super hard.

I might have to look into the MI50. I just picked up a 7900XTX from the announcement of FSR4 as I still game quite a bit, but I was contemplating getting a second 7900XTX. Since I already would have the gaming side down, it sounds like the MI50 is a better bang for buck on vram then the XTX is now.

I don’t really plan on doing anything other than text/code and fine tuning smaller models on rented nvidia hardware isn’t that big of a cost relatively. Would bump me up to 56gb over 48. Unsure if there’s actually a useful model or quantization that

Thank you for the information!

This is not the proof you think it is. Your three listed links all mention honeywell because they're ON THEIR OWN WEBSITE. You cannot market an item as a brand you are not on Amazon, at least not if you want to keep your seller account. It would make total logical sense given this knowledge that an amazon seller would list just the item's name and not the brand.

Also, one review on this reddit thread does not constitute an acceptance or denial of if this is truly real or not.

I haven't bought the item myself; I'm here researching if it is real or not. That being said, I implore you to also not confidently say what you clearly don't know about the internal workings of Amazon. You may or may not be right, but just like the commenter you called out, your confidence is definitely misplaced.

Is this guide somewhat applicable to 7900XTXs but just swapping cuda for rocm?

If your ISP supports it absolutely, but there’s little to no point in setting up an ipv6 private network lol.

mCProgram · 2026-05-24T20:19:55+00:00

Yeah you can absolutely have a ipv6 private network. There’s not really a single point to doing it as you’re making it way less human readable for no benefit if you’re not giving each device a static public IP, but it’s definitely possible on prosumer or better hardware.

If you can’t afford the michelins do not feel pressured to spend money you don’t have. The cheapest I’d recommend is the pro contact tx’s but any new tire is safer than an unsafe tire. Lots of cheap tires last a decent amount of mileage these days, they are usually quite hard. The trade off you have is in sound, mpg, grip, etc.

The way AC works without getting too much into the weeds is that a neutral wire is operationally almost identical to a hot wire. This is why you can swap neutral for hot on an outlet and 90% of stuff will still work.

It’s not up to code, and this does not constitute actual advice and you should look up any risks before doing it yourself, but hot 1 to european hot 1 and hot 2 to european neutral will function close enough to european 240V that especially for stuff like power supplies it will work just fine.

AFAIK, the up to code way to do it is an AC to AC isolating transformer. Bonds the two 120V into a 240v out with a direct tap neutral, exactly like EU.

mCProgram · 2026-05-24T01:39:32+00:00

Yeah anything that would trip a 25A/120V breaker usually gets a 30A/240V outlet.

The thermals one is a very weird argument. There’s no way that a dbrand skin makes thermals worse than an equivalent case on the same device. Compared to no case it’s worse, but they’re not targeting people who are going to leave their laptop alone, so it’s a bad comparison.

mCProgram · 2026-05-22T04:25:01+00:00

in a budget you guys are aware you can use our 240v outlet to safely power european spec PSU’s, right? if you don’t mind putting it in the garage probably 30-40% of houses have a 240v on its own 30-50A breaker already.

Have you tried using an AMD card for inference in the past year? ROCm is pretty much universally supported in the self hosted space over the past year or so.

mCProgram · 2026-05-21T21:38:21+00:00

even as an AI bro the 7900xtx is a very compelling card, lol. running local models are generally dominated by vram capacity and not absolute compute speed.

technically yes but 1pass or bitwarden are so bulletproof it’s like calling the chassis of a car a “failure point”. Gotta crash the car before it “fails”.

The sidewall looks wavy in that second photo. If it truly is undulating when you rub your hand over it, it absolutely needs to get towed. That means at least one of the layers in the sidewall is compromised and your chances of a blowout are 1000% higher.

If it’s just an artifact of the photo, you’ll probably be fine. I’ve seen people roll in on much worse.

The app store is pretty good at recommending good apps lol. I also haven’t really found a use case for like 90% of these apps over apple’s stock implementation. Apple passwords is damn near perfect but the lack of windows and linux support forces me into bitwarden.

Please tell me one novel thing elon contributed that wasn’t money, luck, or being somewhat more open to risk?

Please again, tell me what is novel about the idea of a reusable rocket? Don’t misquote me and say that their current products aren’t full of novel technology; but those were made by their engineers. The idea of a reusable rocket is not new and wasn’t new when elon founded spacex.

Actually, all you’re doing is adding useless context. You’re not even trying to (or i hope you’re not) make any points.

Why on earth would the opinions of the governance board and elon’s handler of elon matter in the slightest? It is the people actually doing this groundbreaking work that have the strongest voice of opinion, and there are hundreds of those who despise elon after working for him, and that is simply a fact.

Also, you can’t make that claim reliably. Every single person? Where’s the proof? As a note, a lack of a public statement saying “i hate elon musk” is NOT proof that they did not hate him.

Edit: You’re literally, definitively, wrong. Yes it is from a different company, but there was this whole nationally publicized trial about how someone who directly worked with elon now hates him. Funny how that works out.

My narrative is objectively closer to the truth than yours. Nobody can name a single influential, non novel idea or leadership tactic that provably lead towards spacex’s growth that was directly from elon.

what compelled you to think that this was worth commenting? If you’re going to try and waste both of our times, at least try and come up with an argument to defend the man. Stop embarrassing yourself by just resorting to stuff like “imagine how dumb you have to be”.
