back when I submitted this, I didn’t even notice the second turtle in the top of the image

oh shit, I didn’t see it either 😳

for browsing, use Waterfox with uBlock Origin. for apps and the rest of the system, use a VPN that blocks ads like Proton, or use a Pihole.

that’s not true, you can block them with a VPN. or if you have one set up, a Pihole works even better. I haven’t seen an ad in any android app in years.

good, now put it back so that they can’t tell until the first train rolls over it and derails.

a better option that doesn’t require specific steps depending on your TV model is just to use a small media PC strapped to the back. and then disable network access for the TV. the benefit of this is that when you buy a new PC, you don’t have to do any research to find out which ones you can jailbreak, because any TV works.

you can then control the media PC with a cheap Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo. there are plenty of models available that are no bigger than a large remote and have excellent battery life.

well Vaultwarden is able and willing to fill your password manager needs

this is even better than that truck that said “CUM: We ain’t haulin’ milk!”

this is some really silly paid marketing.

thanks, California, but we didn’t give a shit what you thought in the first place

check out HaloFPX. I can dig up the URL if you can’t find it. it’s a runtime that’s made for Strix Halo that ships with custom tuned models for ROCmFPX (I think that’s what it’s called), and it can give you really good speeds.

one of the models it comes with is a custom Ornith 1.5 35B, and with HaloFPX I get speeds in Deepseek Harness that are so fast I can’t read fast enough to keep up with generation.

EDIT link: https://github.com/julianmb/halofpx

that being said, most apps won’t recognize the unified memory because because the Strix Halo is so new, so if you want accurate reporting of GPU usage, you have to set a specific amount. otherwise it will probably report 100% usage of 512M VRAM in apps like btop.

somebody ping me?

probably brown people in west asia

nice

oh I know, but since I’m running on a Z13, there’s a custom runtime built for Strix Halo that makes the model a bit faster. and that runtime uses a fine-tuned version of Ornith that takes advantages of the specific architecture to increase t/s. I know, it’s already fast, but it’s nice to see those first tokens start generating within a couple seconds, and my agent crank out a few thousand tokens in less than ten seconds.

ornith isn’t good for coding, sure, but for automating the boring shit I don’t want to pay attention to, the model works beyond expectations. I do wish it was abliterated because one of the things I use it for is OSINT workflows and tracking down the personal info of fash, and the guardrails version doesn’t always like to do that, so the skills have to carefully word the prompts. I imagine it would get pissy if I asked it hard questions about China too, but I don’t chat with LLMs so I’m not sure.

I guess the sleuths were right. I’ve used local GLM models in the past, they aren’t bad at all. although I’m currently enjoying the speed and quality of Ornith 1.5 35b running on HaloFPX.

just wish there was an abliterated version.

just because you got your feelings hurt doesn’t mean I’m not right, or you’re not an idiot. nothing I said was factually untrue, you knob.

if they keep making memory for residential customers instead of dedicating all production to AI, then sign me up to steal US tech for them.

I see enough stories about supposed private telegram channels being infiltrated to keep me off the platform. there’s only two kinds of people doing illegal shit on telegram, idiots and snitches.
