wild to me that all the top responses are saying to buy a tv and root it to remove the spyware. Are there really no options that don't come pre-built spyware? Anything that doesn't have wifi in the first place?

At some point though _the purpose of a system is what it does_, regardless of their intent.

oh very exciting! Thanks for sharing these sjs382! A bummer the models can't be run on both the GPUs and CPU so you could run much larger models. A year ago I was running gpt120b as it easily fit in 128gb ram. But now I'm only running gemma 26b and wishing I had stuck with 64gb ram since 128gb gets throttled. Not regretting buying 128gb 1.5 years ago though!

I run the same setup Gemma 4 26B on a 2013 Mac Pro (dual graphics cards but they're useless for this). I also get about 5 t/s. It's perfectly serviceable for some tasks!

I love the X3, light enough I can carry it around without noticing it. Battery lasts forever. I don't feel the need for a backlight at all, I love how simple this is.

I know people favor the X4 for the usb-c, and I'm all for universal charging cables. But in my experience the usb port is often the first component to fail in something like this. And that seems super annoying to replace. The pogo pins on the other hand are unlikely to fail. And the cable is not proprietary, you can get compatible cables on Amazon/etc.

Agreed, the x3 is incredible. You'll pay 2x what this costs but the ux is phenomenal with Crosspoint

it's such a subtle joke as _parts_ of this sound genuinely helpful. But of course not having any terminal access and a read-only fallback are the haha parts I guess.

this just speaks to the importance of detailed prompting. When would you ever just say "no"? You need to say what to do instead. A human intern might also misinterpret a txt that just reads 'no'.
