They’re Ryzen processors with “AI” accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.

Nice to see a new flagship with a MicroSD slot and a headphone jack. Also, Sony have a good track record with opening up their Android phones.

But yeah, shame about the price.

4K Blu Rays encoded in H265 are usually on 100gb discs, so I can see where they’re coming from

The Saturn was bleeding them dry outside of Japan. They would have either died supporting the Saturn or trying to keep the Dreamcast relevant during the run of the PS2.

Sony was a force to be reckoned with and Sega just didn’t have the funds nor the presence to compete with them.

He joined Universodon during one of the Twitter exoduses a couple years back. Elvira also joined Universodon without knowing it was a space themed instance. Not sure if she’s still there.

I run AntiX on my EeePC 701, the original with a 630mhz Celeron. Runs a treat.

I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.

I have a Milk-V Mars but it really isn’t performant enough for any task I have for an SBC. Distro support seems to be a pain too, as the provided Debian image isn’t meant to run on repos aside from a Debian snapshot from 2022.

I really do hope things improve. I’m planning on moving over to an RK3588 ARM board for desktop daily drivering but one day I’m hoping a decently affordable RISC V alternative will turn up.

Most of my family here in Australia use iPhones, and by extension, iMessage. Granted, they also use FB Messenger, Snapchat and all the rest, but mainly iMessage. It’s the default and it works for them.

I can assure you that this is not a thing exclusive to the US.

Finally, a new strand-type game.
