Re: Cory Doctrow On AI (This Week In Tech 1075)

A crash? I hope so. Everyone is getting on the bandwagon for AI. The only AI I use is ChatGPT. I use it about once a week to confirm the google AI is the same with the question I would ask. Also, I want it to crash so hardware prices, especially RAM comes back down to earth. Eh, computer hardware p...

Re: RustDesk: Open Source Alternative to Teamviewer

I got rid of Teamviewer about a year or two ago, they kept jacking up the price. I switched to Anydesk, but I hate their interface. I'm going to take a look at rustdesk, definitely seems to have a much better interface.

Thanks!

Re: It's An Active Choice to Lie This Much | Micron's "Commitment" to Gamers

I'm still running on a 5900X. My workstation has 128GB, upgrading to a system with DDR5 would be about $1500 just for memory, yikes!

Re: Florida’s Plan to KILL Property Taxes is a LIE!

10k here as well, but this is a huge and pricey house we built. Our other investment homes are a lot more reasonable. I am, however, for property tax breaks or even waivers, for people like seniors whose only income is social security. I can afford my taxes, but I know there are people who can't. T...

Re: Anyone else notice that Amazon not collecting FL sales tax lately?

Florida tax holiday is 8/1 through 8/31. Computers and computer related accessories under $1500 are not taxed, so I guess all those parts are considered computer accessories :)
I guess in the future I'm shipping big computer purchases\parts to my place in Florida.

Re: in a month and need ideas

I second St. Augustine if you've never been there.

One place that is on my list to visit, but haven't is Seaside, FL.

Re: as we said before were just north of tampa

I've been through enough Hurricanes in my life, it's one of the reasons I got out of Florida. Personally there's no way I would stay, 30 miles isn't really much. Stay safe.

LF mechanic shop around Kendall

Anyone still living in S. Florida have a mechanic shop they trust in or near Kendall? Brother-in-law needs complete brake job.

Re: replacement headlights !

Only headlights I've ever replaced were on a 2004 4Runner. Only PITA was 1 bolt that was hard to get to, but other than that, pretty easy.

Are you sure you can't do this at home? This video is for a 2014 Camry and he's doing it in his driveway.

Re: Toothpaste Pet Peeve

There are other "active" ingredients, but there's something about the process they'd have to go through to allow them to include them in the active ingredients. Ultimately the toothpaste isn't as important as brushing every day, correctly and for the 2 or so minutes that's recommended as w...

Re: Finally upgraded my phone

Good luck, never had a Pixel last more than a year or so and I own like 3 different ones in the past. Current phone is an iPhone 13 and still works the same as the day I bought it.
