We use both in production here; but, let's be VERY CLEAR: there is absolutely NO FAIR COMPARISON between a locally hosted model on above-average hardware and what Anthropic (and I assume others) is offering with their, currently, subsidized plans.

There's enough of that garbage on youtube, These AI concoctions seem to have a "thing" for HOA's, single fathers, CEOs, as it seems like every one of the videos they create have these subjects somewhere in the "script"... Getting hard to avoid them while trying to watch the actual human-generated content.

Sounds like my current 2013 Hyundai will be my LAST Hyundai.. In the past 20+ years, my wife and I have owned a 2001 and a 2004 Santa Fe, then later we had a his/hers pair of 2008 Accents, then in 2017, we bought a used 2013 Elantra, which got totalled in 2019, and we bought another 2013 Elantra, which we still have, which will be our last, based on this info.... Yeah I know, Hyundai don't care..

I do not use snaps (I assume you meant snaps vs flatpack). Removing the snap FF and installing the dpkg one is one of the first things I do when setting up a new Ubuntu system.

I laugh when I see a cheaply made car that costs over $50K, and then I think back on my first new car, a 1975 VW Rabbit. Out the door price? $2,495. Being a lowly E4 in the Army, I financed the car for 36 months, with payments of $124/mo...

My old 2013 Hyundai doesn't have any touchscreens, but the display for the am/fm/xm/aux/usb entertainment screen, nearly fades out to where its hard to see what its displaying during our "blast-furnace" season and the sun beating down on it. It doesn't look like LCD, more like the old liquid crystal that you saw on older watches. I've had the car over 5 years and I've noted that the display is slowly getting invisible..
Comment I most certainly DO NOT!! (Score 1) 245
My current car is a 2013 Hyundai, and after seeing what abortions new cars are, I would NEVER EVER buy one, despite having funds to be able to buy one outright. Not only is the giant touchscreen a problem, new cars are rolling MALWARE.. they hoover up your driving habits, how fast you drive, where you drive, how you brake and send all of this to an insurance exchange where it fucks with your insurance cost.. And on top of this, they're all pieces of shit, grossly overpriced.
I'll keep this 2013 that just turned over to 139K miles as long as I can, and if I can't I'll buy something like a 2010 Honda van with an engine that routinely hits over 300K. Being I'm 76, I think the Hyundai will last just fine..
