I don’t fully understand it but Big Clive explained it once while tearing one of them apart.

Erm… yeah, i’m not en electrical engineer but slapping capacitors on things still increases power use slightly because capacitors have losses themselves. So that doesn’t make any sense. I get the smoothing out voltage side but voltage and amps can change as much as they want but the watts is always constant. So I still don’t see anything they do can reduce the wattage.

But i’m an uneducated idiot so who knows!

They aren’t actually looking for smart people.

I’m not smart and still see through the corporate bs! 🤨

Ugh, most of mine are usually “I’m 23 and I made 3m on tiktok in 12 months…”

If you really made 3m then wtf are you making no quality tiktok videos instead of enjoying life are ruining tiktok even more by cluttering it up with even more god awful videos?

Because you didn’t… and this is the critical thinking no-one bothers to taught themselves so get easily scammed.

Like the “Voltage harmonisers” that “cut you’re bill by ½”. Anyone with 1 braincell would understand electric is charged by watts because its the value that doesn’t change when voltage or amps change!

I normally only watch tiktok when waiting for something to finish but I’m almost at the point now where it’s more interesting to watch paint dry than try find anything fun on tiktok. 😞

If tiktok videos where honest they’d be saying “If don’t have any conscience or empathy, you too can get rich by ripping morons off and conning them into re-selling your garbage so you don’t have to.”

I’m not sure I can answer that yet.

So what I’d suggest is sending me 10k and i’ll see if I take. However I’d also suggest we do multiple runs just to confirm consistency. I hear 100 times is a good number for checking consistencies.

I think so much posted online isn’t real as such and more fabricated and what I classify as ‘engagement bait’

TikTok is full of it and seems to have got worse now AI slop machine can churn it out en-mass.

I bought the Beelink SER9 MAX, mainly because it’s the only one I saw with 64GB Ram.

It came with windows, but binned that for debian running Ollama and openclaw pretty well. I looked at others but according to Claude, the A1 Pro that i looked at only really supports Windows and I emailed minisforum who confirmed it so kinda went off there PC’s.

I’m not aiming for speed though, i’m aiming for learning but the only issue i’ve run into a few times is:

⚠️ Something went wrong while processing your request. Please try again, or use /new to start a fresh session.

But running /compact seems to fix it. I’d love a few more beelink’s to run a cluster though.

Edit: Also I’m also messing with openclaw and openclaw can’t seem to spawn agents to do tasks. Not sure if thats hardware related or config issue. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t really have much to backup tbh, what I do have is backed up to another drive but unfortunately hosting that offsite because I don’t have friends, lol.

If you aren’t running it yourself, you’ll always be held hostage by toxic companies!

Time and time again, from account closures to account locking… if you value anything, you should really look at self hosting it. Yes it’s a learning curve, but now is actually a good time because you have claude to help, but don’t expect that to last!

I am and will only ever use the free tier of claude but even that is actually pretty useful. Just don’t reuse the same chat, create new ones, delete ones no longer needed and you rarely hit the usage limits.

I’ve used claude to get my own AI server running on a low power beelink PC and while i’m still learning, it runs pretty well so Imcan now bounce between my own AI, to claude for the few issues I can’t solve.

That sounds like a you problem, not an our problem! 😎

What you could do to really piss your neighbour off is to help everyone else get bigger boats so that your neighbour gets so pissed off and sells the boat because they can’t afford a bigger boat.

If the neighbour buys a bigger boat, just keep upgrading everyone else’s boat until the neighbour runs out of money and sells it.

Now where do I find the post where I can suggest someone buys me a M4 Mac mini so I can run AI locally and try and setup a business so I can get rich and join the boat club before I miss out on the fun? 🤔

There’s so many jobs that people don’t enjoy but are necessary.

I take it you asked all 7 (or whatever) billion then?

Nobody enjoys working in the middle of an australian desert at 40°C in a lithium mine.

Who says they’d need to? You talk like someone would need to do that because right now capitalism demands more production!

Nobody enjoys collecting your stinking trash. Nobody enjoys sitting in a store for 8 hours a day, scanning groceries.

Again, if we didn’t produce so much garbage, products with layer upon layer of plastic, we’d make glass and clay pots and grow, make and reuse locally making less garbage all the way but then in the 90s you had to collect bin bags off the street, now its all wheelie bins, if my health allowed I would happily go round collecting rubbish.

Also I’ve had issues with drains in the past and when I asked them about the job, they actually enjoyed the challenge. So I think you’re confusing people who do a job because too much demand means people doing jobs for the money rather than less demand would actually mean people wouldn’t even need a set job. Feel like drains on Monday, go for it. Had enough and feel like helping someone tin food on Tuesday, go for it.

Look at Animals, how many animals work 2 jobs just to survive?

Nobody enjoys working in a warehouse for 8 hours.

Another thing thats only a thing because capitalism demands we keep producing more and more shit. That washing machine that used to last 10 years now breaks after the warranty because some riches want more money and power!

It amazes me how blinded people are to a capitalist free world. Look at the waste now, the plastic pollution and then look carefully at the next package you buy and ask “does this really need ‘this’ much packaging? Do i care if this new spade I bought with all its shiny cardboard and plastic protection, arrived with a scratch? But even if the TV was scratched, does it really matter so long as it worked as intended?

But then I have no kids of my own and every year I feel better not having brought kids into this mess because unless you’re born into money now there is very little to offer kids in the near future right. 😕

I mean, thats easy, I don’t have, or care to own a money pit that I only use once a year, i mean boat! 😎

Unless you count 3D printed benchy… and even then if you scaled your benchy up then it’s bigger than mine!

This is how you tell rich people have some serious mental health issue.

Decent people would rather a world where people worked because they enjoy that type of work rather than being forced to do it because they need money to live.

If you removed money, imagine where we’d all be as a society without the toxicity of money, wars and hate! :(

And yet making citizens happy and thus more productive so they’re less likely to overthrow the idiots who rule by terror is seen as bad policy by the rich. 😐

People really are gullible idiots! 🤦‍♂️

Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?

The same place all religious and other propaganda comes from. Plus it’s useful to spot the gullible and easily led people so you can avoid them to save your sanity!

Are people surprised?

They don’t care if AI is accurate, they just want another thing to blame the same way they blame religion.

“Oh my bad, the AI is highly trained but the camera must’ve blurred and confused the AI so not OUR fault”

But its ok, I’m sure they won’t abuse age verification to target people they don’t like. 🙄🤦‍♂️

You can now add elements on tablet by long-pressing on an empty space

I’m guessing unless you’re on an iPad?

I’ll try later on the dell 7210 but sadly Apple has screwed up so many things with touch so i’m not surprised when stuff no longer “just works” on Apple!😞🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the quick changes though. I did seem to get a ‘dot’ to show up by tapping and holding but haven’t managed to reproduce how I actually did it and it wouldn’t move when dragging things around so 🤷‍♂️ lol

Sounds good and put a whatsit in for an enhancement.

I don’t pay much attention to shithub so if you want someone to test anything out it’ll probably be easier to shout on here.

Thats cool, I don’t care much for portrait mode tbh, and was just curious if i was missing something.

Would it not be easier just to have an ‘add element’ button that has options for adding a component? Moving stuff around works fine. I’m not even fussed about linking stuff. Just looking for something to visualise the various docker services because i forget whats running on what PI, lol.

Hmm, am I missing something or does it not work on tablets?

Demo looks kinda cool but can’t seem to add anything to the existing projects. 😞

I wasn’t a huge discord use but I just removed all the channels before deleting the app on every device.

Not going to make a huge difference but if everyone does it, maybe it will!
