    For all of you that downvoted because “AI”, let’s be clear, this guy does all the processing locally, not in the cloud, so it’s a privacy friendly option:

    Tiiny AI does all of its AI processing right on the device. Nothing leaves this mini supercomputer. If you’re privacy-minded and don’t want all of your data uploaded to the cloud or just don’t want to pay for any more subscriptions, an AI computer is what you want.

    I’m actually quite interested in this. I hate when AI is shoved down my throat, or if it runs in “the cloud” out of my control, but this would be fully under my control.

    My only concern is whether I can run my own OS (i.e. linux) or if I’m locked to theirs.

      Using self hosted AI doesn’t use any more energy than playing a game, too. Unless you have a cluster at home or something.

      Even then, which is much better than the cloud models, most people seem to be as Dell said. They are not buying AI.
