    Anecdotal but for some reason I had a pretty bad time with qwen3.5 locally for tool usage. I've been using GPT-OSS-120B successfully and switched to qwen so that I could process im…

    I made the move about a month ago to bazzite on my desktop with an nvidia graphics card. I still have my windows drive for when I need it but that's pretty rare. Bazzite isn't perf…

    I moved to FSPTX a while back because it doesn't have TSLA. I'm not sure how long I'll stay there though, it has like a quarter of its holdings in NVDA now which has been great so …

    It is wildly disingenuous to just copy paste that line from wikipedia and not the rest of the paragraph. > In February 1998, Ericsson Radio Systems banned the in-house use of Erlan…

    If you find that you like something that most people don't it's generally best to just leave it alone and be happy you enjoyed it. If you try to delve into why so many people don't…

    The ROG Ally seems like a really nice piece of hardware. Having said that, I cannot possibly stress enough how bad of a time you will have if it breaks and you have to deal with an…

    D2:R was mostly Vicarious Visions (but it absolutely did turn out awesome). WoW (retail) has had 3 of its last 4 expansions ultimately perceived as failures and is (justifiably, be…
