Can we all appreciate how this is spam for moving home probably all based off the “home assistant” part of the community’s name? lol

I mean the Decky stuff, this being an easy option is good.

That’s better context, thanks. Not that I’d go through any effort to change it… but I see how it surely can be nagging.

Zero interest in big art mode, but the Proton stuff is actually nice! Same for the launch in desktop mode, even if I don’t use it.

No kidding. Back when the Deck was new, I played a fair amount of Cyberpunk on it and it was fiiiiine. Not good, not very good looking, but enjoyable you know? Minus the bloody text, as I had to guess what things did because a tiny font at a minuscule resolution on a small screen in red? Not exactly readable.

Seems interesting and I’m thankful for the help, but as it turns out there’s a blueprint (supposing it works).

Thanks! As luck has it, I seemingly bought stuff that does have a blueprint. Now to see how it works…

Oh, like rc crawlers inserts? Makes sense.

Internet has nothing to do with this. You could be in a submarine at the bottom of the Mariana’s trench with a Frame, a good enough computer and a random (decent…) WiFi router plugged into power only, and it’ll work. Your local network is not part of the internet.

Performance was fine even on the Oculus Go. Streaming performance is about the computer and quality of your wireless access point, but supposing both are fine, it’ll also be fine. Been doing it since the Oculus Go.

It’s a California specific GDPR kind of thing.

I need to try that again on my desktop, a while ago something broke hard and initially I had to disable AV1 and HEVC, but then it just decided that nah, we don’t do any of that stuff in this house. Then again, not SteamOS so….

It’s not “just WiFi”. It’s 6ghz WiFi 7, and the higher the frequency, the lower the range/obstacle penetration… In general, lower frequencies have longer range but have less capacity. The 5 GHz bands are absorbed to a greater degree by common building materials than the 2.4 GHz bands and usually give a shorter range. How much will that impact things? Don’t know, but honestly I don’t think the placement of the connector on your computer should be a problem :)

I think I’ve given a cursory look at those a year or two ago. The main things I remember are that they are SMALL, and at least one model lacked a heated bed. The heated bed helps immensely with adhesion (will your print stick or just get dislodged, failing the job?) and the size is a practical constraint. For example resin printers can do exceptional quality items, but they’re going to be small. Pick a measuring tape of any kind, go measure a thing you’d like to make like maybe a pen holder or whatever you actually think you will want to print. I had a Monoprice Mini Select and it was a 12cm base, good for a lot, small for a lot. That thing can do a 10cm base. A quick visualization is that you will not squeeze a phone cover in that space!

Lucky you, I’m stuck trying to get past the “yes, use my wallet credit” screen :(

It was a good plan to preload it yesterday… but plans and reality. You know.

Edit: 31 minutes later, it went in! With a warning about shipping times due to high volume of orders, but it went in.

Dedicated N100 mini pc. It has more than enough everything…. Except for whisper and other AI stuff. That’s a silly situation where whisper takes longer than the dedicated gpu (and mind you we’re talking RX 6400, not 5090) outputs the results.

I have setup the wake word as Hey Jarvis, but the issues I get… it usually gets it, however I also hear it bleeping and blooping randomly so that’s fun. Then HA is running on a N100 mini computer, and I found that the smallest Whisper model I can use reliably is the medium one (I’m sure in English it’d work well even with smaller ones) and the LLM is Qwen 3 4b running on a computer with a dedicated RX 6400. As in, that’s the second gpu and it’s doing only that. The end result is that I give a command, wait a few seconds (Whisper mostly), then hopefully it works out. I imagine with a known good mic and powerful local hardware it’d be noticeably better, but.

I had mixed experiences with both. On one hand, Amazon replaced my 3DS no questions asked when a shoulder button failed (Nintendo pretended the serial didn’t exist…), on the other hand my preorder of the Bayonetta Amiibo (Amazon for the EU) well… they cancelled it like six months after it got released and the support person had no idea what was going on. On AliExpress I ordered a drone that got delivered “to the wrong address” and the seller very clearly tried to scam me with helpful instructions on how to mark it as received to progress with the refund. But then I also got the logic board for my 3d printer from the manufacturer, and a reasonably priced remote controller for my drone.

Yes, but your laptop is not liking the software, and now you are running it in a browser too. Unless the service offered by the container is remote control, then it’s not going to be of any help for you. Difference between running a HTML5 game in your browser, or GeForce Now: one runs locally, the other is just a video feed.

I don’t have any experience here, but everything seems to point towards the docker being just a way to install it for any machine, for ease of management, not a streaming/remote control situation where the software runs on the server, and you just see/interact with the video output. So probably the slowdown is caused by your laptop liking FreeCad even less once it’s running in your web browser.

Obviously I can be way off, but this is what it looks to me.

Yeah, but we seem to like hampering the right to manifest, so I’m sure it’ll get thrown in the mix.
