  • Very similar, but I’m using Gemma4 12b. I could run 26b but that would exhaust my vram after a short interaction. And ollama. Open WebUI + Home Assistant hooked up with it, a couple very basic scripts I threw together, and connected to Kagi.

    I’m trying to get my folks off the Gemini/Google bandwagon for the privacy aspect, but also because it’s just cool from a tech geek perspective. For me, any questions throughout the day that I want info on, but not enough to do a deep-dive for an hour+, gets fed to Steve, my models name. Or I’ll use it as a springboard and then properly read the citations for more info. And I feed it HA automations when I get stuck scratching my head on an edge case or whatever - it’s alright but helps me explain what I want from the automation, and when it understands my goal, great, and when it doesn’t I reflect on what I have setup and can usually go ‘ah ha’ and fix the issue. It’s like a rubber ducky/pair programmer that you can both think is an idiot sometimes, but it doesn’t judge you when you’re the idiot.











  • Eh, not really. G dropped the ball this year 100%, but the fold is fine. While helping a family member upgrade their 6 a couple days ago, I poked my head at the new fold, being a 10F owner myself. And it’s even more money for essentially a hotfix for the 10F. And they don’t offer anywhere near enough trade-in credit to offset that price. That’s the problem this year; stagnation and higher costs. That’s it, roll credits.

    The user who buys a pixel usually won’t leave to buy a galaxy, or a motorola, or almost anything else. They don’t buy it for the aspect ratio, or to get 5 minutes of fame that they bought the new shiny thing this week. The pixel (nexus) followers are few but incredibly sticky; from my own close social circle, of the… 9? 10? I have converted, only 2 have left for other brands; in the last 14 years. A ~75%+ retention rate over a decade and a half is absolutely wild. Of the other 2, one went iPhone, and one bounces between brands every year.

    The pixel fold is going to be fine.
