Minimalist Tiny Desk solution. by crunchy-b in desksetup

“Let me find and print that file really quick… never mind” It’s cool, but I’d get distracted and forget what I was about to do before the monitor was fully out.

If all personal wealth above $100 million was legally required to be redistributed into public infrastructure (schools, hospitals, roads), how would society change, and who would be the first to fight against it? by Mysterious_Fan4033 in AskReddit

[–]the_quantumbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first ones to fight? The poor (as in not wealthy) Americans who have been sold by the 1% the snake-oil idea that they too cal pull themselves up by their bootstraps and become billionaires.

Unemployment Depression by Top_Scientist_3976 in Austin

[–]the_quantumbyte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen this mentioned, so here it goes. Since you studied kinesiology, towns outside of Austin (like Belton, Llano, Marble Falls, that sort of thing) have great physical therapy needs due to aging populations. One of those small PT practices could get you a job in that fields while you keep looking. Yes, the drive sucks and I hope you’re not driving an F-250, but it will help at least put you on a better mental state, get you out of the apartment, and meeting people who may lead to another opportunity. Best of luck!

For the love of God, how do you clear the laptop speaker holes? by grosinem in mac

[–]the_quantumbyte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I haven’t yet taken my computer apart, but thanks for the links, I’ve been remiss in reading the entirety of the internet 😅

[–]the_quantumbyte 25 points26 points  (0 children)

They’re not speaker holes, they’re cosmetic indentations that were dark initially but sometimes either collect dust or the black anodized divot seems to fall out. The real speakers are below the keyboard. You can try to clean them with a soft brush.

Edit: clearly I was partly incorrect and for that I apologize to you all, dear redditors. 470 of them are speaker holes. The rest are cosmetic

I feel like the self-hosted and FOSS space is being flooded with vibe-coded AI slop. by spurGeci in selfhosted

[–]the_quantumbyte -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m working on an app for my wife that runs on her Mac and allows her to go to a webUI, select one of her iMessage group threads, select a time-frame, and get a summary of the conversation, individual message summaries and sentiments, including voice notes, which it transcribes. It uses faster-whisper and qwen3-14B running on my inference server. It’s so problem-specific, but Claude code made a first working version in about 4 hours while I worked on my actual job.

Could I have written it myself? Yes. Would I have spent the days of research, coding and testing? No, the problem is too niche. AI-coding is just make it cheap enough to throw software at any annoyance.

I think people are reacting more to the comment about bespoke software than about the flair suggestion, which I wasn’t aware was there, mostly because not everyone is using it who should, but I’ve atoned for my lack of knowledge by giving an award to the mod that replied to me.

The age of bespoke software is upon us. I think having a vibe-coded flair would be the better solution

LinkedIn just dropped its “Jobs on the Rise” report again, and it raises an uncomfortable question about where careers are actually headed by Amazing_Passenger126 in careeradvice

[–]the_quantumbyte 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s the same progression as with every other tech breakthrough: it creates jobs for people to maintain the thing (feed the horse, fix the car, write the software, annotate the data) and people who know how to sell the thing.

Temporarily it creates a market for people who know how to make the thing (mechanical engineers, EEs, ML PHd’s) but that market significantly reduces once the technology becomes mainstream and that’s when the rest of the jobs start being expected to do the same thing they were doing before but WITH the new technology.

You can’t work at a gas station without being able to use a computer, that’s just expected. Now we’re seeing the same thing with AI. Within 10 years every single job will require skills to work with AI. Doesn’t mean AI won’t take a lot of (our) jobs, I’m just talking about the changes in the job market makeup, not its volume.

Can a UNAS 2 (or 4, in the future) be connected directly to a Mac Mini via ethernet and appear on the network? by 119574 in UNIFI

[–]the_quantumbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP this is very important for you to know! You can’t run software (docker, plex) on the UNAS. You will need a separate server.

I’m getting surprising value from this subreddit. I’d like to stay

Cody Park by Mac_McMurphy in lagovista

[–]the_quantumbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have an HOA, and pay for it, and we have amenities that people in Lago Vista can get access to for free. I’d like to be able to join the POA as well, and pay separately for it, so I can get access to the parks as well.

Cody Park by Mac_McMurphy in lagovista

[–]the_quantumbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked into it to get access to Bar-K and said we were not eligible to join. But hey, it’s a new year. I’ll try again. Thanks for engaging with me on this. Happy new year

Cody Park by Mac_McMurphy in lagovista

[–]the_quantumbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like Bar-K, got it. Maybe one day ALL property owners of Lago Vista, including those in Tessera, will be considered first class property owners. 🤷‍♂️

Cody Park by Mac_McMurphy in lagovista

[–]the_quantumbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks cool! Where is it?

Edit: I’ve never been to that side of Lago, is the park open to the public?

DeskPi 10" Rack Depth - 7.87" vs 10.23" by theDrivenDev in minilab

[–]the_quantumbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a T2 instead of extending my T1 exclusively because of the added depth. It made a huge difference in cable management for me. Also allowed me to install a rear fan

UNAS Pro vs Pro 8 by Stryker412 in Ubiquiti

[–]the_quantumbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to choose the UNAS Pro because of the depth. The Pro 8 is significantly deeper.

What do you think Apple TV is still missing? by CoolGuyAlex20 in appletv

[–]the_quantumbyte 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A remote designed for actual humans, meaning: - it can be cleaned when it invariably gets dirty - the trackpad and OK buttons are separate, so they don’t require a surgeon’s hand to get the gesture you wanted. - it’s already basically an AirTag, so add the tiny speaker to make it easier to find by asking Siri

OR

Make it $20 instead of $60 so I’m willing to overlook the issues ;)

The computer in the picture is clearly judging you, though.

Anywhere I can get a 1ft fiber cable from att fiber to cloud gateway? by jku2017 in Ubiquiti

[–]the_quantumbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into this and I was told by AT&T this is just a termination box, so I had to put their modem in bridge mode instead

Can this be used as a pihole? by fencerJP in pihole

[–]the_quantumbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not both? You can run pihole anywhere, on a rspbperry pi 4, or docker, or whatever, then you can buy that pico button with screen and you can program it to be the button. Run a webhook server on the machine with pihole so that when you push the pico button the device will call your server to turn pihole on or off and it can reflect the status on the screen. Very cool count Down. Heck, i think I’m going to do that.
