Toy Story 5 comes out this summer… So, yeah

I have an Ayn Thor, which has a Elite 8 Gen 2. While playing x64 games on it does work, you’re pretty much limited to indie games and some older 3D games (assuming you can get them to run due to a lot of compatibility issues). Even if you can get some bigger games to run, you’ll be struggling to get 30 fps on the lowest settings.

Its still really cool to do. You can get some smaller/more portable form factors to play games on the go. However, I still use my Steam Deck a far amount for better compatibility and for larger games (if the steam deck can even handle them).

Yeah, but it’s announcement along with the steam machine is a clear indication it’s designed for situations where you wouldn’t use a mouse/keyboard. And in those situations having the thumpads is a game changer.

It probably depends on the games you play, but without the touchpads a significant number of pc games just don’t work well for a controller on PC.

Could you imagine having to maintain it yourself though. I mean assumming it even spits out a working version, you’ve probably introduced a ton of new bugs and potential security threats. Additionally, unlike a fork, you can’t even merge in improvements to the software.

While it’s a scary topic, in most cases you’d be shooting yourself in the foot if you incorporated anything this spits out.

Edit:spelling

Yeah, then that’s a weird ask. They could have a legitimate plan, but it’s weird to not start with a mvp using an API or similar before buying dedicated hardware. If they can’t articulate what they’re going to do, then they shouldn’t know what hardware they even need.

So to play the devils advocate, this really comes down to:

• Are these internal people or contractors
• Are they looking to test out a Workflow or implement small automations

If they’re contractors, always be suspicious. If they’re internal, it sounds like they may want a server so it’s a one off cost to setup some work flows. You can burn through hundreds to thousands of dollars per month using LLM APIs, but if you self host you’ve basically got a fixed cost.

If they’re just looking to create some work flows that crawl the data dumps and give some insights, this approach could work. Although, as others mentioned, the hardware they’re talking about would be somewhat limited. Small LLMs can be quite functional, but this server might not be a long term fix if the automations they set up gain traction.

You’re probably aware, but updating the model periodically is probably a good idea just because things do change overtime.

A model from two years ago was trained on data from at least two years ago. Meaning any technology, code, world event changes wouldn’t be reflected in the model.

I can guarantee you this will be very hit or miss, unless you’re telling it what you’re eating. Even then the nutrional data will be garbage due to the huge variety in ways to prepare food.

Basic ebook support and ereader (epub, pdf, cbr, cbz) + send to device (i.e. Kindle)

Biggest issue is the folder/book structure is very opinionated and isn’t the easiest to work with.

I’ve tried the a number of the ones being mentioned, but the best for me has been Audio bookshelf . It has a good mobile app, allows collections, tries to pull Metadata, offline reading for the apps, etc.

The Windows 12 rumors were due to bad reporting from PC World that it seems AI news articles ran with (I believe an Ai mistranslation was the original issue, but at the very least a translation issue). They added an editor’s note to the original [article] (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3068331/windows-12-rumors-features-pricing-everything-we-know-so-far.html)

But chrome, edge, and safari aren’t open source to my knowledge and they make up almost the entire market. Sure chromium is open source, but that’s not the entire browser. Not to mention, it’s basically Internet Explorer all over again, but with Google behind the reigns.

Looking at android, we get a glimpse of what Google is willing to do to “open source” to keep control.

Anyone know what my hardware would show as if I play on my phone using something like GameNative or Gamehub? Curious what the android/arm numbers would be.

I tried Calibre web and Kogma.

Calibre is just bad software at this point, it’s clunky and not really designed as a server.

Kogma was fine, but a web only interface made it hit or miss. The big selling point for me with audio bookshelf was the ability to download local copies.

Oh yeah, the multiple libraries is a good point!

You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.

I haven’t tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

The only real downside I’ve run into is it’s very opinionated about folder structures around authors.

The one I’ve enjoyed the most is https://www.audiobookshelf.org/, it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).

Examples on the page seem to indicate it does OCR then translates the OCR text.

It doesn’t seem as fancy as some translation tools that overlay the translation, if that’s what you meant.

Edit: actually maybe it can - https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/23834337
