If it doesn’t require an API key in the config, it’s offline. My HA works totally offline unless I need to do updates, and it’s always worked for me.
You can also view the code, cuz open source.
Good
Sounds like it might have something to do with some rendering settings related to hardware acceleration. Have a look here and see if toggling anything on or off helps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Hardware_video_acceleration
Yes. Have a look at the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_translate/
This is not a thing. It’s a pathetic tool for CEOs to create game engagement for their dead platforms and falsely inflate their usefulness for buyout money.
I think the weird mustache isn’t helping.
Pico, Piper, Mary, and Google all run locally and off of CPU only.
I think all the rest require cloud accounts or acceleration hardware to work quickly.
I’m personally fine with Mary or Piper, but I know some people like the fancier ones.
Is this shitty AI? This comment makes no sense. If not AI, maybe some key words got mixed up?
Pretty much just personal preference at this point. XTTS is certainly not the most efficient though.
I agree as well. No reason to not use it. If there were better ways to build an alternative, one would exist.
It already is. They’ll bleed users until they are irrelevant at this point.
Yup. Pretty dumb.
Well…I mean…that’s kind of bound to happen when you draw 600W into a device that size I suppose. I feel like they’ve had this issue with every *090 card, whether it be cables or otherwise.
That’s why I qualified my comment with “most”.
Corporations gonna corporate so that’s why they don’t want their employees freelancing. Amazon, for example, has contracts that say they own all code created by engineers during their employment, so if one WAS going to freelance, Amazon could lay claim to any work they created, causing immense problems for the engineer. Now, whether or not and where those contracts are enforceable is another question.
The problem with most of these ideas is that they would violate a large majority of developers’ employment contracts. A lot of companies have overly restrictive contracts that prevent employees from freely creating other work without the possibility of legal retribution if found out.
Obviously, check your contracts for these conditions and their enforceability in your locale (some people are forced to sign these in the US but they are not enforceable in most places).
Were you maybe connected to a VPN when you made these requests? That’s way more likely the culprit.
Well allow me to retort:
“Works” is not the same as “works well”. As you mentioned, the bare minimum of it working has been achieved…kudos I guess.
The hardware is proprietary, and without someone devoting a LOT of time to reverse engineering the drivers to a point of, let’s say, 90% functionality, there is literally no point except to say “I can run a Linux kernel on this thing”.
The point of even having the hardware to begin with is the battery lifetime with the power draw from the SoC. As you noted, you don’t get that benefit from Asahi. Not the full GPU power, or the audio hardware, or the networking, USB-C, external displays, Thunderbolt, or the onboard security features, or the network offloading…I can go on.
Why would anyone buy a machine that is designed to run a specific OS, just to run a different OS on it and lose all the benefits of running that hardware in the first place? Bragging rights?
It’s a stupid purchase if you just want a good Linux machine. Framework is a much better buy.
