I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.
You don’t really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.
But that’s my cynical leftist view.
I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.
However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.
I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of “we’re too poor to have nice things” especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of “hey don’t let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here’s a vague breakdown of our expenses”
My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn’t)

But your right, if there’s a CSAM community on there I would inevitably host it to.
So I will not be trying plebbit

You can’t automate concern for fellow humans.

nagaram@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Help extracting kindle booksEnglish4·1 month agoLots of places do a better job providing DRM free or DRM Lite ebooks (Chicago press only ties your name to the files so you’d have to doxx yourself to share it, but you can share it), but the sheer library of self published books on Amazon is hard to find.
There’s an author I’ve become good friends with who I pay him (in coffee) for his books because I disagree with giving Amazon a cent. But he noted that’s just where the masses are still and it’s hard to break that momentum.

This is just a ChatGPT front end isn’t it?
More I’m even more curious what you’re doing here. Are you selling access to your own API key for $30? Why LMAO
nagaram@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How I’m building a micro-income system using GPT + PayhipEnglish6·1 month agoOkay so it’s something I can use to automate some sort of data processing and then be compensated for it.
How is it processing the data?
Where am I getting the data?
What is it doing to the data?
Who is paying me for processed data?
Linux everywhere and then Windows VM labeled “Shitty Spyware Do Not Open”

There’s fortunately pretty tech literate people at both locations. I can walk them through most of it with very little a long the lines of finger puppets and crayons.

My dad used to do tech support and wants to learn some of this stuff while he’s recovering from surgery and I’m at my MILs several times a month anyways. So it all works out. Also it’s only fair as the FIL has helped me do so much with my car over the years I wanted to pay them back and he likes movies more than me.

nagaram@startrek.websiteOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how to set up a remote managed node for momEnglish6·2 months agoI already have a stack of Optiplex 30XX SFF PCs. It would be cheaper spending the $100-$200 for a high capacity HDDs TBH. And the idea is that I manage the content on it from my own 30tb store.
12-16tbs of TV and movies is kind of a lot lol.

nagaram@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts about AI?101·2 months agoI’m a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you’re already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you’re doing with the model because it isn’t trust worthy.
If you’re using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.
If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.
It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it’s worthless if you can’t verify the accuracy. And I’m worried people don’t care about the accuracy.
I like a very small amount of RGB.
I didn’t always, I wanted full no color, but the ONLY GPU I could find had just a smidge of RGB in the logo (MSI something 5060 ti) and I like it as a highlight.
