    OfferUp also has a ton, as does AutoTempest and even good old fashioned AutoTrader. I'm currently shopping for my son. Facebook seems to have the lowest cost cars, but it also seem…

    I personally am itching for more hardware H.264 or even H.265. There's the ESP32-P4 but it requires a second ESP32 to handle the WiFi. I got it working, but it feels like a hack, a…

    What fun! I’d love to also go the opposite direction, a full-sized laptop with an ESP32 running tiny386 and Windows 95 ^_^ https://www.hackster.io/news/he-chunhui-s-tiny386-turns-t…

    It's funny to me that he wrote the song to prove that his fans would buy any American-sounding song no matter the lyrics, but it was such a banger that even we in America love to l…

    Happened to me. CoPilot changing prices prompted me to cancel my CoPilot subscription and install a local coding model running entirely in VRAM. Will call Claude APIs when I get re…

    Old hardware is surprisingly effective. I've been considering a side hustle selling offline AI to local businesses who are privacy-sensitive. Medical, legal, places like that. At t…

    The new laptop has only 32GB DDR5 and a RTX 4070 with 8 GB GDDR6 on Xubuntu, so Gemini recommended qwen2.5. I don’t think I want to run anything larger because as you said it’d run…
