Just to point out the usb-c on the original x4 is for charging only.

What sort of pp/tg speed do you get on a Strix Halo?

Or you could get a $50 smartband and have so much more functionality and still recharge only once a week or two.

The little print at the end says "Currently only available in India."

Reminds me a bit of HMD's KaiOS feature phones but this is apparently Android?

Have you tried putting the KV cache on the GPU and running inference from RAM? From what I gather, prompt processing is particularly painful using RAM alone.

Have you tried with a single CPU to get rid of the NUMA penalty? I understand this likely means halving the memory but I am interested in how much of a difference it makes

Xeon Scalable in general seems like a good idea due to 6-channel (relatively) inexpensive RDIMM memory, but I've been reading that NUMA kills inference performance. Anyone got experience with multi-socket systems? IIRC even within the socket these cpus are divided into sub-numa nodes.

I am still using their Powerline adapters and FWIW they have been very reliable.

People consistently perceive louder music as better quality. That's why volume matching is critical in any audio equipment testing.

Starlite Mk IV is my favourite "netbook" successor. 0.9 kg, 11.6 1080p IPS display and Linux-first, with coreboot. Unfortunately it is a couple years old by now and you can feel that (Intel N5030 and 8GB of RAM). Sadly the company changed the form factor of Mk V to a detachable but if you can live with that it's also an option.

A lot of people picked up building mechanical keyboards as a hobby during COVID. It probably wouldn't have the same impact today.

Few new ICs are made available in DIP format. So you basically have to do SMT at some point.

I suppose that depends on how recent is what you consider recent. I'd have hoped with the coreboot upstreaming effort they would keep official releases coming a bit longer.

You can see the last release for Starlite Mk IV is from 2024: https://fwupd.org/lvfs/search?value=starlite

These seem to be the SKUs they are building roms for: https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/tree/capsules/roms

Their Horizon model is probably closer to a Mk IV successor than Mk V. I would consider it as an upgrade path.
