I’d honestly return it as faulty. Preloaded adware shouldn’t be acceptable.

I think this is designed for that https://github.com/vroland/epdiy

Their guide still implies that you need to pay a fee to unlock an API key before you can flash a new firmware.

How they plan to enforce that fee to unlock an API key when the firmware is supposedly open source I don’t know. When I looked over the source code it looked like it was being written to a log.

I hate to be “that guy” but this almost certainly depends on the specific fertilisers and insecticides used.

You could try reporting to their abuse contact https://sdf.org/?abuse/abuse

But SDF is a pretty old organisation, it seems to generally be quite pro free speech.

For legal reasons that’s a joke.

webcams demand you to be presentable

Ateast half of you, lol. Zoom has built in filters that help with this. Also sitting further away from the webcam, using a diffusion filter, and/or just using a really bad webcam can help.

and make your space presentable.

Background blur and virtual backgrounds help here.

Open source has a definition that has been agreed for nearly two decades, some billionaire doesn’t get to redefine it because of his personal feelings.

The FSF has a list of licenses, but they specifically label the non-free ones and state they shouldn’t be called free software.

To be fair hexbear defed from db0 for a while, which would give the same impression.

Louis Rossmann is a prominent right to repair advocate on youtube, I don’t like his videos personally, but he’s usually on the right side of things.

FUTO is a company owned by Billionaire Eron Wolf, they release several pieces of software under their own proprietary licence, that they originally tried to claim was “open source”. When they got called out on it not being open source they literally tried to redefine open source. Although they’ve since backtracked, and decided to use the term “source first” instead, it makes the whole organisation seem incredibly sketchy to me.

Yeah, Rossman getting in bed with people that are deliberately trying to dilute the meaning of open source really killed my opinion of him.

If you have a paid google one account you can.

You don’t really give enough detail to give specific advice. All I can say is I left it too late to reconnect with mine and it’s one of my biggest regrets.

I’ve never seen a (modern) marvel movie, despite being a fan of the comics and cartoons as a kid.

I’ve never seen a harry potter film.

Inference? It’s the actual running of the ai when you use it, as opposed to training.

DeepSeek: “no u”

Wired everything. However many network ports you think you will need in a room, double it.

Grounded wire mesh Faraday cage embedded in all walls.

A tall fence.

You could say the same about ACABers suddenly becoming fans of police brutality 😏

Even the Chinese AI is better at maths.
