The admin is at least 75% of why I choose Django over another framework.

I get that shoes off is supposedly cleaner, but how does much difference does that make if one has a cat or dog as well?

We are a mostly shoes off for ourselves, but do what you want for guests.

You wipe (or wash) their paws when they come in.

Do you know anyone who actually does that?

Yes, pet owners who live in no-shoes households. I live in Japan, basically everyone here does it. I do it as well.

If you have pets and want your floors (and sofas, and beds) to stay clean, you need to wipe/wash their paws. It takes like 30 seconds.

Interesting, as someone who lives in the states, most people I know have shoes-off households, but even those with pets don't ever wipe off the paws of their animals.

I've never even heard of anyone doing that, until reading your comment.

May be more cultural than you suspect.

After watching American TV shows and films I would never have guessed it was mostly shoes off in the States :)

I think there is a mismatch with Intel/Window's idea of an AI PC being a beefed up edge TPU core, while customers who do want AI want LLMs, which I'm under the impression the Lunar Lake AI features aren't that great at accelerating (but are presumably good at non LLM vision and audio processing). If I'm misunderstanding this, I'd love a reply.

Having a chatgpt style experience locally requires about 24GB of dedicated VRAM at a bandwidth of about 1 TB/s. These "AI PCs" are nothing close to this. They can only run much smaller neural networks for a small variety of data operations. Think of like, photoshop filters. Any AI chat experience on an AI PC is still being sent over network to a datacenter. Some new photoshop filters does not define a whole new category of computer.

Exactly. The problem is Intel's AI PC might be PCs but they are too under-powered for AI work. Apple makes real AI PCs and they sell well enough, the latest AMD chips are getting into that territory as well. I want to see Intel succeed but they repeatedly miss the boat by over-promising and under-delivering, as if they're afraid of providing too much value too soon.

It gets me thinking though, what would an AI PC really be? It would be a category of laptop you could buy that could be guaranteed to run decent local LLMs at realistically usable speeds, and there's an app out of the box for it, which exposes and ever advertises an API endpoint and invites the user to write their own code to use their own computer to its capabilities, also allowing them to swap out the model. But of course, going from cloud to local is the opposite of what MS is trying to do.

Last I looked, they didn't support passing through USB devices like Wacom tablets or edit controllers or space mice. I am eager for that stuff to work so that I can start using moonlight/sunshine for more of my work.

I would suggest being sure to use a cpu platform well supported by ZMK to make your HID software easier. The esp32-s3 doesn't appear to have Bluetooth support in ZMK yet. People who want Bluetooth support are being encouraged to use the nrf52 platform. People who want usb only might be better with a rp2040 as there is better support in ZMK for that platform than anything esp32.

It sounds like FB Marketplace is every bit the marketplace for scammers that people claim craigslist is.

Have you looked into if Paint.NET works with Wine? The latest report says the was an issue with the theme, but it otherwise worked for them, but then they didn't really test much. They were not trying the latest version of Wine at the time they were trying paint.net.

If you like Paint.NET, it might not take that much effort to file bugs against Wine for any problems you find until it works correctly. There is one user at least reporting that

It doesn't have any of my Nvidia GPUs, nor my AMD GPUs in the list and then always tells me I need more VRAM since I can't select a GPU.

thanks for the feedback I need to refresh the list or load dynamically.

What tend's to bug me about most now to near future solarpunk depictions that I see is that it tends to assume that we will be all spread out into nothing larger than a small village. I'm not sure that solar/wind/hydro powered suburban sprawl is the way to go. I'd like to see more imaginings of solarpunk urbanism.
