I got my kid a used dell that was $90 on eBay and it’s running linux just fine with the 8th Gen i5. If you need more you can likely just spend 100 more. I have a hard time justification for new unless you have a need for specific hardware

I have been playing with Incus recently.

You can run Windows in vms on Linux if you don’t need screaming performance. I think you can directly install from iso with Incus as well. I haven’t find this yet, i used Qemu instead.

You could spin up a vm with mx and see how it works.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

SimTower. I have spent too much time there

On the pc and c64 it was pretty easy. Are we also talking about how everyone ran the WinZip eval?

I only pick up the new LTS when the next non-LTS is released

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

What does this mean for the ISP supplied units?

The work culture is bad in China, I would not want to work 997.

US is worse

They have folding phones that’s are smallish

Dvd video on a cell phone looks great

The issue with blurays are the unskippable intros before the menu hits

Get a box of cds at a garage sale.

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

Bohi linux?

Can’t use a vpn it shows location is from unexpected location and gets my passport reset. Its really annoying.
