I find the “AI” part undescriptive too. Its mostly just a fronted for a bunch of LLM APIs right? If you want to target idiots then use “AI” in the name, if you want to target IT people use “LLM”.

AI/LLM Center? Multi AI/LLM?

And no word about releasing the server code :(

The name sounds like an AI version of PornHub to me.

No, its mostly because 99% of people dont build their own computers and because 99% of prebuilts/laptops come with Windows preinstalled. Thats literally the only reason. If all devices came with Linux preinstalled, most people would be too lazy to switch and buy a windows license. This would change the market share of Linux which would immediately cause companies to prioritize making their software run on linux. Its really just corporate inertia.

Hello, my name is Jack Wallen, and I’m a glutton for punishment.

Bro really wants us to know hes been a bad boy 😭

They have a page about that: https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life

With only time keeping, Watchy should have a battery life of 5-7 days, while with fetching data over WiFi, it should last between 2-3 days. These numbers can be extended through further optimizations (e.g. sleep during off hours, waking up only on motion/tilt, etc.).

By default it wakes up the CPU and updates the display every 60 seconds, but you could totally change this to make it only update on demand (the most efficient would be by button press) which should extend the battery life waaay beyond 7 days.

I havent used it yet, so cant really say much, but ive been looking at watchy. https://watchy.sqfmi.com/

ESP32 based with a epaper display

That seems like something that wouldnt hold up in court if tested. If you make money with it, thats a different issue (Wettbewerbsverbot), but if you publish free and open source, then this wouldnt fall under that to my understanding.

But only if you used information that isnt publicly available yes? If i learn how to use KiCad at work and then use KiCad in private, then my employer doesnt get IP rights for the result.

“Hobby project” ? But on company time? Then its not a hobby project…

Anything you create outside of work hours is yours to publish under any license you want as long as it doesnt include any code that was produced at work.

Yeah and even those are lacking very essential functionality. Its a nice project but its far from being a viable alternative for daily use.

respect AI

No thank you. Even if its FOSS it wastes tons of resources.

Its been more than 24h and the site is still down. It only loads the main page but all links are dead.

Thierry Carrez commented, “Did you notice what I didn’t talk about in my keynote? I made no mention of AI.”

…

The world needs sovereign, high-performance and sustainable infrastructure," continued Carrez, "that remains interoperable and secure, while collaborating tightly with AI, containers and trusted execution environments.

He was so close to greatness :(

If just this one OS, that i havent even really heard of, hit 100k downloads in two days, then there must have been like 100M downloads in the last week or so for all linux distros combined. Now i wanna see someone try to aggregate all download numbers from the major distros into a time plot to see if there is a noticeable change.

The download page is completely unreachable right now for me. Some parts of the website just throw 503 errors.

Just look at the video…

The download from their official site that would normally give you a .torrent file that would get you a .iso file if you torrented it was replaced with a .exe file instead. So windows users trying to install xubuntu would have their systems compromised if they were unaware of how its supposed to work.

“investigators” is plural tho so that is indeed wrong

x86 and x86_64 are property of Intel and AMD iirc so they would know who licensed the architecture.

What kinda issues have you been having with it?
