   Don't Bother...

   I am having problems with MacUncle Mbox Viewer that need to be answered. I have tried repeatedly to contact Technical Support to no avail. No one answers the telephone. The Live Chat fails to open. No reply to Email. So my questions go unanswered.

   Money back guarantee is total BS

   There website offers a 30 day money back guarantee - it's BS. They only offer a refund if the copy you download won't work, and then only you work with them to make it work and it remains dysfunctional. This is a legal requirement in any event - if you buy something and it doesn't work, you're entitled to a refund without question!!

   I simply bought the wrong product, haven't used it and will never use it. They refuse to refund me.

   Horrible software and terrible support

   TERRIBLE. I bought the conversion for thunderbird to gmail. Could not open due to security issues with apple. Spent 3 days getting MacUncle to have help session. Finally got tech with poor english skills. Had chat session for over two hours during which time finally got software to work only to be told had to spend more money to get upgrade for gmail format. I pitched a fit as gmail format was what I had orginally purchased and they gave the new key for upgrade for free and still could not get it to port converted files into gmail. I finally gave up having wasted the $30 bucks. Meanwhile they use Team Viewer which is a bitch to get off your computer when you are done....I would NOT recommend this software or this company

• Nvidia pursues $30B custom chip opportunity with new unit

  There are already ways to get around this. For example, renting compute from people who aren't in datacenters. Which is already a thing: https://vast.ai. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• A SETI-like project to train LLM on libgen, scihub and the likes?

  By "SETI" I assume you mean the SETI@Home distributed computing project. There's a two-way market where you can rent out your GPU here: https://vast.ai/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What's the best hardware to run small/medium models locally?

  Have you considered running on a cloud machine instead? You can rent machines on https://vast.ai/ for under $1 an hour that should work for small/medium models (I've mostly been playing with stable diffusion so I don't know what you'd need for an LLM off hand). Good GPUs and Apple hardware is pricey. Get a bit of automation setup with some cloud storage (e.g backblaze B2) and you can have a machine ready to run... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Budget-friendly Cloud server to host OpenAI Whisper?
