Got a gas car? Tax for you. Got an ev? Tax for you. Got a gaming pc? Tax for you.

Maybe there is some old hardware currently overlooked that's still cheap and good for this purpose...

Bought two RPi5 4GB for kodi @ $70 and $73 last year..$127 now. Forget about it.

AI enables me to complete old ideas for programming projects that would have been too heavy without LLMs. That's fun. And productive.

Bump!

I know right? Sounds like a real snail.

Anticheat on AAA multi-player titles is still an issue if you really want to consider it a console replacement.

anyone have a zalman VF1000 or GV1000 gpu cooler? willing to pay a little for it, I just bought one but it was lost :(

Good to see this thread potentially take off and have other ideas flowing in (y)

I don't hold on previous builds very often either - most of my old hardware gets recycled down to my son's. Though I've kept my 3080 as an emergency GPU in case my 9070 XT dies (with the way pricing is). I can't say I've felt very excited for...

I'm glad I took the dive of a new build in 2024. I was $5000 then. But I'm almost done getting the parts to build a retro gaming rig using an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ on an Abit NF7-S. Still debating on what GPU to use. I have several on hand...

My latest project has been building an entirely offline system for my basement, and seeing how much I can do with it. It has the following specs: Intel Core i5-250K Plus Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 SE ASRock Phantom Gaming B860 - I bought...

I've been thinking of building a second rig... while may not be considered truly "retro"... I was looking into something based on the 4790k. This would be something based on a platform I missed, due to me being out of work around that time...

For me, with prices of parts so high it's not even an option to build out a new system (nor do I need one), I've been gathering retro parts so I can do a complete build, but with a much lower price point with old parts. The build process is just...

We have a relatively new sub forum here: https://hardforum.com/forums/artificial-intelligence-general-discussion.137/ Kyle is leading a lot of discussion there. That being said, local ai is pretty capable and it sounds like your needs are...

If any of us testing an llm accidentally hacked a random website, we would go to prison.

I've seen that movie...

Just installed this last night and I am very happy with it so far. Connected easily to mcp, had no problem serving qwen code, though seems it can ultimately replace qwen code, running smoothly with qwen 3.8 flash next on strix halo. Might be a...

That's what I meant. Was just in a hurry since I need to replace my condenser motor for my HVAC... and it's raining now. I can't win, lol.
