Heck yeah! Old desktops or laptops are how most of us got started.

Things to consider:

• Power- this will be on 24/7 probably. That adds up
• Speed- not just CPU, but RAM, disk access and network interface can limit how much data you want to move.
• Noise- fans can suck (pun intended). Laptops tend to run quieter

I'm sort of looking to upgrade and N100 or N150's are looking good. Jellyfin can do transcoding so that takes a little grunt. This box would work well for me. It's not a storage solution, but can run docker and a handful of services.

Sorry bud, I understand your position. I miss the old reddit too but less so what it has morphed into the past couple years. Lemmy is young, and yeah, some folks here walk/cross some lines I wouldn't. There is a bit of a bot problem creeping in but lemmy is t big enough for that to be a serious problem yet.

But then again you're exactly the user we need. My presence here is what I want lemmy to be and yeah, I've locked horns with some folks on some discussions. In the end it's us users who make lemmy what it is.

Too much work. Just rotate that arm down about 40° at this point.

/s of course, but it stung to type

Nothing personal, but ain't nobody got time for Delta Quadrant Pizza delivery. That's coming out of your tip, Kathryn.

I've also been daydreaming along these lines. I have an old Porsche that doesn't run I've sort of wanted to electrify. There are a few kits out there, but pricy. If I get a cheap-as-shit Tesla, could I break it down and retrofit? Weight and suspension would be a problem. Plus I've heard they are a complete arse about proprietary computer stuff.

That or a Mazda 13b could be fun, but I'd have to gear it down somehow.

What's that phrase Trumpy Dumpty liked so much? Witch hunt? Yeah, that's it.

This is a witch hunt.

Yeah, you were projecting again orange orangutan.

The lot serves as a temporary storage space for Teslas arriving from overseas before they are sent to dealerships.

Hang on a second, this lot of cybertrucks came in from overseas? Aren't they made in the USA?

Hmmm maybe they were just stored there because they weren't selling.

Bingo. I was being more general in my response, but that is the more technical way of putting it.

First off, I'm by far no lawyer, but it was covered in a couple classes.

According to law as I know it, question 1 yes if there is no encryption, and question 2 no.

In reality, if you keep it for personal use, artists don't care. A library however, isn't personal use and they have to jump through more hoops than a circus especially when it comes to digital media.

But you raise a great point! I'd love to see a law library train AI for in-house use and test the system!

By gatekeeping I mean the use of digital methods to verify or restrict use of purchased copyright material after a sale such as Digital rights management, encryption such as CSS/AACS/HDCP, or obfuscation.

The whole "you didn't buy a copy, you bought a license" BS undermines what copyright was supposed to be IMO.

So... A reservation deposit and matching ID at the door would fix all this?

Seems like a simple fix.

Copyright has not, was not intended to, and does not currently, pay artists.

You are correct, copyright is ownership, not income. I own the copyright for all my work (but not work for hire) and what I do with it is my discretion.

What is income, is the content I sell for the price acceptable to the buyer. Copyright (as originally conceived) is my protection so someone doesn't take my work and use it to undermine my skillset. One of the reasons why penalties for copyright infringement don't need actual damages and why Facebook (and other AI companies) are starting to sweat bullets and hire lawyers.

That said, as a creative who relied on artistic income and pays other creatives appropriately, modern copyright law is far, far overreaching and in need of major overhaul. Gatekeeping was never the intent of early copyright and can fuck right off; if I paid for it, they don't get to say no.

That's a good litmus test. If asking/paying artists to train your AI destroys your business model, maybe you're the arsehole. ;)

Not sure about this.

Unless you're diverting resources from a sale, only when every single salesperson on the floor would otherwise be engaged with a customer, you're not really wasting anyone's time but your own. In fact, you may be honing their skills.

An empty sales flooris a statement of its self.

Good video. Nailed a lot of game behavior.

Edit: I'll leave this here for now and move the comment if I see the poster resubmit in Politics

I feel like that's the endgame for the Trump empire and violence walks directly into their trap. They can play the blame game or martial law card and completely rebuild America to their standards. Revolution is sort of the point; who comes out in the end is the goal they have prepared for for decades. Indiscriminate violence is chaos and absolutely not the answer.

The recent "no promoting violence" rule on Reddit is both foreshadowing and censorship. But for some reason Luigis scare Reddit terribly.

While true, I felt (if misguided) more comfortable with my data under California data protection laws than Saudi Arabia.

Pikmin Bloom too

Booooo. That sucks.

I was never into Pokemon before this app but this game was fun just finding new discoveries even in my own city.

Pick a lane you spineless, cowardly, sack of shit.

First revision had "Let's not beat around the bush" but thought using both those words might be a tad tactless. Gotta keep the teasing appropriate.
