  • I have one of those minisforum amd hx 370 (the x1 ai pro). Those are very powerful awesome hardware. I use the mini pc as a work computer for 3D and dev on OpenSuse and lightweight low power gaming machine (like long haul Xplane12 flight during the night).

    Everything is well made and beautifully built.

    As for this NAS version, if money is not an issue I wouldn’t hesitate. 10Gbs, tons of ram, Amd hx 370. It sure is overkill for a NAS, it’s more tailored for a very beefy docker server and/or virtualization station while being a multimedia NAS at the same time.

    I built my own synology replacement with second hand itx parts in a jonsbo n3 case, but if I hadn’t or just had plenty of cash to spare, I would definitely go for a server like this one (my use case is NAS + docker + virtualization + eventual game server all in one).

    As a side note, the “AI” part is just communication for now, those chips are not yet supported for local LLM on Linux (Windows only atm), they need ROCm support for iGPU RDNA 3.5 and the new AMD NPU integration into those local frameworks (llama.ccp etc).

    It will come for sure, it’s just not ready yet.















  • From memory cause I haven’t smoke in 20 years, it’s mostly about filter.

    Cigarette have industrial made filters that are solid and doesn’t heat that much.

    Joint have hand made filters generally made with a bit of rolled cardboard or the tip of a cigarette (opposite side from the filter). Both makes the joint less sturdy than a cigarette, the filter is less wide and the heat is more easily transferred.

    When you hold it like a cigarette between your index and middle finger it touches your fingers where the skin is the thinnest, so it burns you more easily, specially when you are close to the end of smoking.

    Then there’s maybe a psychological side, cannabis is illegal or frowned upon in many places, so hiding your joint inside your palm makes it less noticeable (except for the smell of course, I didn’t say it was logical).





  • Some do, full flaps and uncomfortable high pitch (well, no flaps in that picture as it is a Mirage).

    Of course there are probably certain types of jets that cannot fly below 150kt and it’s not like actual fighters capabilities are advertised on internet. I only know that Rafale is said to go “below 120kt” with 16 degrees pitch up in 15 tons configuration, FA-18 is something like 135kt at pitch 30 ! (I’d love to see a picture of that)
