There is a Jackbox game called "Talking Points" that's like this: the players come up with random ideas for presentations, your "assistant" (one of the other players) picks what's …

You only need $25-30. It'll be locked to a carrier, but that doesn't matter and is perhaps preferable (no monthly fee for a subsidized device) if you are able to use wifi. There's …

I've found EasyOCR to work much better at pulling text out of irregular or unknown images. Requires more resources than tesseract but gets much better results in my projects.

Amazon used AOSP to create tons of their products. Even if most Android devices have the Play Store, there are successful variants that don't. And I'd even include Meta's Quest lin…

Check out ollama: https://ollama.ai/ It's easy to get running and doesn't require you to manually download models.
