Isn’t California the Capitol of the world? ;-)
I really don’t think that the AI guys want to be anywhere else.

any other type of technology
Are there, for example, nuclear weapons available for general use?
What am I missing out on as a regular internet user by using the default equipment.
You miss an understanding about what your devices do. Including the devices you got from your provider.
As a consequence, you remain clueless when your devices get attacked and taken over.
What am I missing out on as a self-hoster by using whatever equipment metronet gives me?
You miss the chance of securing your network.
As a self hoster, you are a little bit more attractive, and there are more possibilities of attacking your devices, than a typical PC or mobile user.
My suggestion is an extra router with OpenWRT between the metronet device and all your other stuff. You will get some better understanding just by configuring your OpenWRT for the first time. Their documentation is very good.
I don’t think AI companies care about their models being misused
Yes, that is one of the current questions, if you have read the article: Should they care?
It is a serious question, because if the models are misused, that could be a threat to all mankind - much worse than a warehouse full of weapons. And if they are required to care, then they might have to rebuild their models fundamentally, and they don’t know how.
It’s also not clear if it’s even possible to fully prevent AI systems from misbehaving. The truth is, we don’t know a lot about how LLMs work, and today’s leading AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are jailbroken all the time. That’s why some researchers are saying regulators should focus on the bad actors, not the model providers.
It seems a complicated debate. Hard to find out where you want to stand. I want to show a method to find answers by creating 3 variants of an analogy.
For how many of these cases do you think somebody should be doing something?
Case 1:
A huge warehouse full of firearms. Burglars are breaking into it every night and stealing lots of weapons. The owners say they don’t know how this warehouse was built and how to make it more secure in order to stop the criminals from obtaining lots of new weapons every day. The general public starts calling to the government to do something. Some say the warehouse owner should take responsibility. Others say it all depends on how the criminals use the weapons. The criminals seem to know how to use them good…
Case 2:
A huge warehouse full of hammers. Burglars are breaking into it every night and stealing lots of hammers. The owners say they don’t know how this warehouse was built and how to make it more secure in order to stop the criminals from obtaining lots of new hammers every day. The general public starts calling to the government to do something. Some say the warehouse owner should take responsibility. Others say it all depends on how the criminals use the hammers. The criminals seem to know how to use them good…
Case 3:
A huge warehouse full of tulips. Burglars are breaking into it every night and stealing lots of flowers. The owners say they don’t know how this warehouse was built and how to make it more secure in order to stop the criminals from obtaining lots of new flowers every day. The general public starts calling to the government to do something. Some say the warehouse owner should take responsibility. Others say it all depends on how the criminals use the tulips. The criminals seem to know how to use them good…

I hate having to break the bad news to you, but you need new glasses.
I like how you don’t even try to tell these reasons ;-)
So, which one of these handles the SAT receiver card(s)?
billions of people
Macos.
iOS.
Billions.
LMAO!!
That’s why I don’t have one.
Using mythtv for 15 years at least. At the beginning with its own frontend, now with a Kodi frontend on an Androidtv box.
I am reading about jellyfin here frequently, but have not tried it so far. Can it even handle SAT receivers?
“no paywall”? LMAO
If I remember correctly (you’d better googel it to be sure), PWM case fans use a steady 12V supply, plus a pwm signal.
I’d buy an ESP, connect a temperature sensor, put the Tasmota firmware on it and be fine. The programming is a one liner then (in that weird tasmota rules language).
If it turns out that the fan needs a pwm “chopped” 12V supply instead, then you need to add a MOSFET and 2 resistors to create that.
P.S. that module from the other comment is better.
Hydrogen is definitely interesting for the future
Hardly, since Methanol does most things better.
they’ve created the least adopted version of Windows in the history
could be tough to beat “Windows ME”… ;-)
need hydrogen powered vehicles just to spite this guy
No need. Tesla is history. All the big carmakers can offer better electric models, either now or very soon.
Cloned even?
Maybe they were open source projects?
own and operate our own local open source LLMs away from the corpos
LLM’s LOL but you do understand that you can have only that little wooden cart while they are driving all the Ferraris and Porsches, don’t you?
I guess this would be a good starting point for your reading:
