I think it is more about the power required to run the lock motor.

I have several z-wave door locks as well. They all need battery replacement within a few months. Unless I don’t open/close them very often. They can go much longer.

But it really isn’t to big of a deal. Home Assistant tells me when they are getting low and I just swap the batteries in a few minutes.

I have the same lock. I didn’t want it but it was the only lock I could find that would work on my sliding door. The key is to buy rechargeable batteries. Mine last maybe a month before they need to be replaced.

Why not?

If i am going to be supporting creators I think YT premium would be the way I would do it.

YouTube Premium is super helpful in distributing money automatically to creators without needing to think about it.

I have many many creators I tune in and out of I am not going to be trying to manage all of their patreons and trying to manage all of that.

Honestly I have to much crap already, 99% of merch is just garbage IMO that i will never use and don’t need.

If you buy premium your doing both.

What about self defense?

What did they do before 1891?

Public services require a little more work, you will need to rely on a service from a company, either a tunnel (e.g. Tailscale funnel) or a VPS.

I have been hosting random public services for years publicly and it hasn’t been an issue.

Edit, I might have miss understood the definition of public. I have hosted stuff publicly, however everything was protected by a login screen. So it wasn’t something a random person could make use of.

AI will remember that.

I have upgraded my GPU on my desktop without upgrading anything else. Leaving me with a spare GPU and no other hardware.

Self hosting, I have also pulled GPUs out of systems to keep the power requirements down. As most of the time onboard GPUs are just fine for Self hosting applications. Also leaving me with a spare GPU.

However over the years GPUs have because more popular for processing there are more arguments to keep the GPU in a home server. So I can see how this is going away.

Oh wow I completely forgot about Secret Invasion. I don’t think I even finished it, just lost interest.

That wasn’t an answer to the question.

Yep this has been my hold up. It is mostly just a solution in search of a problem.

The best use case I have come up with is if you have an nice computer and an extra GPU laying around. You could turn the single computer into two workstation/gaming computers.

Their roadmap said to have a stable release in 2024

It will be both. AI local and AI cloud.

For the average person every day use AI will be local on device. But companies with massive data sets will be processed with a data center.

But getting the PhD was the training. So it isn’t that they never received training it is that the training they received sucked and didn’t actually help them in the real world.

I don’t know if accident is the right word. There is definitely a process that needs to be done for the possibility of a kid to get created. It isn’t like people are just bumping into each other at the grocery store and suddenly they are having kids.

As long as the developers don’t force their political views on people using the software I really don’t see an issue.

You could argue they aren’t doing it today but what about tomorrow?

Well I would say everything is open source. If something does change that you don’t agree with you can just take the code and build your own. (Obviously with blackjack and hookers)

What is she using it for? Creative cloud is a huge blob of programs, is she using them all? Or just a handful?

Are you sure. I was thinking those specs you would be more in the 50-80 watts range.

So I can say “I use Arch by the way.”
