I got two ifixit kits and that’s all I need, even though I stopped repairing the phone and just trade in every three years.

I don’t understand what this has to do with a PhD in cyber security but I do agree with what you said though

Ah the chaos theory reasoning. There can’t be anything perfect when thinking about it as a whole but you can find sections in a diversified area that are mostly perfect at some point in time but nothing ever lasts.

Ok 👍

And yet I still believe there were kids who had good tasting vegetables. I already agreed that some didn’t but the ones who did? It was still common for kids to not step up and learn. Oh well, how about I just accept whatever you say but not actually believe your narrow view of life?

Fr I don’t think you want to think about it much past the surface level. I agree to some points but not the myth that kids all kids can’t taste good vegetables at all. Conversation ran it’s course, I don’t mind. It is what it is. I believe differently.

I guess, but really I had some bad habits and didn’t know how to make anything more than simple dishes like spaghetti and meatballs. Salads seemed like way too much effort until you get the proper technique to chop them up. I understand what you mean but I still wish I had learned it as a kid. The muscle memory/technique to hone in on would have been nice before I became an adult and had to rely on eating out or eating random stuff at home because I also never learned to plan out meals properly. I guess there is more to it than cooking is what I am saying.

idk, am I privileged to have a family who cared enough to go to eat out once in while like once a month ?

I fail to see how you can think I am trying to relate to someone who never had decent vegetables. It’s not like it is impossible for many of us to eat decent vegetables at one point. I clearly am not trying to be relating to everyone’s background. You are simply nitpicking and didn’t bother reading or understanding my comment.

Many LLM operations rely on fast memory and gpus seem to have that. Even though their memory is soldered and vbios is practically a black box that is tightly controlled. Nothing on a GPU is modular or repairable without soldering skills(and tools).

This is so true. I find there are plenty of ways to enjoy vegetables on the cheap or lower the effects of rot on foods. I feel like people don’t realize that 2000s is the year that current adults as kids grew up in. It is so much better back than after 2008 and 2020(current generation) are having to deal with but still it was a solved problem.

Yet people don’t really see what was talking about. I wasn’t alluding to the vegetables, but rather how kids are not willing enough to learn to cook or take initiative when they don’t enjoy something.

It isn’t easy to cook but I still helped my little brother. I wish when I was a kid, I learned to cook. My mom made the best foods though, and I lived pretty much happy with vegetables. I love salads. It is sad how many are not liking salads or vegetables as much.

I don’t know where this came from. I am talking about how as kids we grow up too shy to pickup cooking as a skill, even though we find it not taste right for us. It is fine to accept the food cause hard work and all that about love, but if you feel like it’s not good enough, we don’t seem to try. But you know I don’t deny it’s like that, yet people can still talk to their parents as kids, spice exists and canned veggies or frozen ones can taste decent. All basic truths.

I helped my little brother cook, he started pretty terribly and to be encouraging everything was, well, not gonna be effective for him to learn. I always made it clear I admired his work but clearly put how cooking skill takes patience and dedication to do. He learned how hard it was for me to cook. I wish I learned to cook when I was a kid.

Oh well people here got whooshed on the real story I laid out.

I kept it short cause I didn’t think there much else to talk about. I expressed my opinion, big no-no on the internet but whatever

What’s even more silly about this is that you never bothered to cook it yourself to experience better cooked food and the reason is? Idk for me it was because I am lame and too shy to ask to change the established way of life. On the other hand I have adjusted to eat food of all sorts even though it is displeasing. Except foods that have capsaicin or or peppers, I’m allergic to them.

I think the biggest limiting factor for your mini PC will always be the VRAM and any workload that enjoys that fast RAM speed. Really, I think this mini PC from framework is only sensible for certain workloads. It was poised as a mobile chip and certainly is majorly power efficient. On the other hand I don’t think it is for large scaling but more for testing at home or working at home on the cheap. It isn’t something I expected from framework though as I expected them to maintain modularity and the only modularity here is the little USB cards and the 3D printed front panel designs lol

Edit
Personally I am in that niche market of high RAM speed. Also, access to high VRAM for occasional LLM testing. Though it is an AMD and I don’t know if am comfortable switching from Nvidia for that workload just yet. Renting a GPU is just barely cheap enough.

Honestly as someone who partakes in some cyber security challenges for fun, there are plenty of weird things that programmers or doc writers never ever consider but other times the docs are so barebones that it is worthless to read. And a high word count does not always mean the doc is useful when all the text is either ai generated slop, or a lot of high level ideations that don’t get into how to work it.

I know right, they are cheaping out because why bother subsidizing new bikes when trading in an old bike? Just sell a cheap shittier e bike. If only the citizens were able to pay the government some cash to help make their community more safe and better than before. /s

I know this is a day old and most people who would have seen this already have moved on, but this is a simple fix. In fact if you have secure boot enabled, the Nvidia driver installation will detect it and start the signing process. If you don’t have secure boot enabled, then it will skip it. I think having secure boot enabled and properly signing your drivers is good to not end up in that situation again. Though I understand how annoying it can be too. Sigh

My phone is starting to take better document pictures than my printer. Especially if I hold my phone steady at the right height. I bet if I used a 3D printer to create a stand to hold it for me. Heck I could buy a giant bucket or rack or whatever and bright high color index lights to further improve image clarity to ungodly levels. Still, the Samsung camera app with the AI features already being preloaded that will likely be improved in the next 5 years will just get better. Printers and scanners are completely a pita.

Happy holidays!

So true, I like tech stuff and even on Lemmy where people are more tech literate, there is mostly just porn politics and memes. I do still like putting in some high quality comments. Allows me to forget about the current state of things.
