All of them if you’re on enough LSD!

There used to be. They weren’t profitable enough so they were put down.

RIP Cardboard. RIP Daydream (though that was a pricy piece of plastic.)

Made by Meta - hell no.

Made by someone else - possibly.

My main interests are navigation guidance on a HUD, real-time translation, and to a lesser degree teleprompting for speeches or presentations.

Wouldn’t even really care if they had a camera or not - though what I’ve seen from the ones that do, being able to look at something that is in another language and ask it to translate it for you is pretty seriously cool. Can’t imagine I’d use cameras for much else - but honestly with how uncomfortable they’d make everyone around me, I’d be quite willing to just forego them and pull out my phone to snap a pic and translate something that is text.

I was looking at the Even G1 pretty hard but then read some reviews that say the real-time translation is TERRIBLE, and to make it slightly less terrible you have to pay subscription fees, so I unsubscribed from their mailing list pretty quick.

Saw one on a Kickstarter recently that also piqued my interest, but they have cameras and were pretty bulky … I may wait a generation or three for them to shrink down a bit more.

Hardware Acceleration for Jellyfin: On the EliteDesk, I’d like to enable hardware acceleration for a VM running Jellyfin (in Docker) using the i7-9700’s UHD 630 iGPU. Can anyone recommend a clear guide specific to this CPU? The Proxmox documentation isn’t very detailed for Intel GPUs.

I feel like I’ve done this, but it was a VERY long time ago. It certainly wasn’t from a guide specific for this, but from adapting other instructions. Whole idea with a home lab - learn stuff, break stuff, figure stuff out! :-)

Wish I could be more helpful! But iirc, once you understand the gist of passing the hardware through, blocking kernel models on the host, and installing the required drivers in the guest, it’s applicable to basically everything.

As for Backblaze for ‘home lab’ backups, that sounds expensive? I run PBS on a container on my NAS for my backups - keeps it all local and effectively ‘free’. Only the things I REALLY care about - like my git server with all the code I’ve written for the lab, and even some of the more complex/outside the box configurations get backed up to the public cloud. Simple ‘cattle’ VMs do not justify additional expenses for me.

It’s fun as hell! I’ve been running Proxmox for many years now and still enjoy it VERY much. I’ve recently added 3x 12GB bus-powered A2000s to my Dell workstations. Having oodles of fun running things like piper, whisper, ollama and frigate models on them in a new k8s cluster I spun up just for ML workloads.

sigh

I literally just bought a 3050 for my NAS for AV1 support.

/wrists

Seems more like the current state of US/US relations to me?

“Russian puppet state pushing Russian agenda. Others not. Tune in at 6 for three hours of detailed analysis.”

Yeah kinda silly, I mean the post title even is about “interesting data” - true or false, the data is interesting. What is the point of downvoting something literally just showing published data?! If you think the data is false/misleading/etc./etc./etc., that doesn’t take away from it being “interesting”, if anything it makes it more “interesting”, so how about stopping in and talking about it instead of just drive-by downvoting??

Typically volume of a track is chosen by the producer/person mixing. You could theoretically get an average volume and scale the tracks gain. This could have the effect of compressing or chopping parts of the song that are purposefully loud while the rest of the song is purposefully quiet.

This is exactly it. Well, this and I’d say the fact that modern digital volume controls evolved from previous analog volume controls where you were literally just adjusting how much the input signal was amplified.

But, back to the “this” - they have similar automatic compression options built in to a lot of AVRs too, often called something to the effect of ‘night mode’ or ‘midnight mode’, but they completely destroy the directors intention … take for example, a ‘scary’ movie with jump scares - the people are supposed to be whispering and somewhat hard to hear, making you strain to hear them, to increase the impact of the loud jump scare - if you compressed that enough (extreme example), you could probably take all the ‘scare’ right out of it. Varying volume within a single track/album/movie/show/etc., is intentional, and more often that not you would not want to compress that.

Track to track and source to source variations are I suppose largely because of a lack of any standards.

omg this made my Friday, thank you for sharing.

Not at all, no! Just going off the support article that says it does. Only just installed it, will try it out with my car this weekend at the latest.

Wow, supports Android Auto too!

Edit: Says it supports Android Auto, to be clear - not tested by me, and issue(s) reported below.

Oh you haven’t seen it … lucky you. Keep it that way. I am, indeed, telling the truth. I think at this point they’re just like “well, we have a contract for x more movies, so, really, we can do whatever the hell we want … let’s see just how stupid we can get”

Sadly this is not amusing as I had hoped at all … I should have expected as much. :-(

The Fast and The Furious: “Hold my beer”

We also don’t typically arrest other species.

“typically”

I’m going to need the examples you’re thinking of where we did please… they should be quite amusing with my morning coffee tomorrow :-)

Ahahahahaha, so it’s going to be a self-hating Meta AI bot?

“consumer privacy” in this case would be your safety while on said bicycle, imo, and square wheels will send you for a tumble.

AI slop comes with security holes (see recent Tea business, and countless other examples). As a user of Proton services, paying actually quite a bit of money annually for that — and being that they talk a really big game about how secure and private they are — I expect their app to be MORE secure than your average mail client, not the same, and not very possibly LESS secure.

Good lord, they shared an amusing situation and made more than a few people’s day with a laugh I’m sure … chill.

Thank you for my morning laugh (literally out loud at that)
