Thank you!

Rei is for me a little girl controlling large robots, with a really concerning backstory

What is this REI you speak of?

Maybe I’m just out of the loop - and hope for not being alone in it

Ah, just better pimples, which you often can find amass on ass!

I’m not sure, if a hypothetical lotto win is really the reason or even the excuse - anymore?

I have one as a media server

I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty

So, I can’t really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.

But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…

As said, I was young…

I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.

Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.

Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again

16 year old me was more than heart broken…

Does it run on Linux?

Yeah, they don’t even trust themselves!
Also just looking for falsification…

Do your will

If you lose the ability to do your own will, and only do what is expected from you, that’s when you lose yourself

Disregard society. Doesn’t matter if you’re currently confirming or not, when you do something.

You do it, because of your own will.

I think, with that ethic base framework, you can just be yourself.

Ah, some piercings in some places can feel very nice

But I’m with you on the Ideology stuff - especially the fascism part

Thank you!

I have no clue here, so can you clarify your last sentence?

Where is the quality better? Europe or USA?

Didn’t knew about that one
What’s up with that?

Would have thought that a legal trade of coca leaves would work out reasonable…well, I’m naive it seems

Doesn’t think that he/she is the boss, but much more the secretary of people doing the actual work.
He/she is reasonable to provide the people doing the actual work to provide them with the environment and resources they need

Python is not a problem
SW Dev is my job. Just never had real contact with AI before, besides playing around a bit.

Thank you very much for the link!!

Edit: thank you very much again, that was pretty much exactly what I was looking for.
Don’t know how I missed to checkout huggingface. Thought of it always just as a github for models and didn’t bother checking for docs…
But that’s a great intro with simple tools/tutorials to get a grip on it, thanks!

I’d like to look into that, how can I train an existing model further?

I’m only playing around with ollama, but like to do a bit more - mostly just to fulfill my needs to understand things - but have no idea where to start

I’m sporting a Framework 16 since a few months and had some battery problems at first. Due to work load, I couldn’t really get into the problem and something I changed or updated resolved it.

But I sent a mail to framework support at that time and the answer was just awesome.
Not just some typical 1st level response to update or restart, but real technical questions and obvious interest in my problem.
They even sounded a bit sad, that I couldn’t really tell them anything, because the issue resolved without me being able to pinpoint it.

On that note, I also have to say, that Tuxedo support was really good.
My Pulse 15 battery was starting to get a belly, and they sent me a new one without much questions - and no pay.
Now, after like 4-5 years, I have my old Pulse to my nephew and saw that the CMOS battery is dead. Again they just sent me a new one.

Some companies really deserve to get recommended.

It’s just more convenient it seems to not care about instances
