@geerlingguy would Chatterbox TTS be a use case for Raspberry PI AI HAT+2? Like if we want local AI Voice generation that actually sounds good without the cloud for Home Automation stuff (HA)? Since you have one any way you could see if it works?

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@geerlingguy do you have an AGX Thor comparison to Mac and Framework coming? GB10 ARM based systems were supposed to be coming last month, hoping they are still coming, I already convinced my wife that we need one of those pending your performance tests!

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@davepl1968 I feel seen

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

Any news on DGX Spark/NVidia GB10 based systems? They were supposed to be ARM based right? @geerlingguy

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@geerlingguy @raspishake Lol - new bucket list item added. Thanks

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@tltangliang @geerlingguy @FrameworkPuter I would be interested in buying something like that! Very cool, I love my Rackmate T1!

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

The dude is playing a completely different game than everyone else. Fascinating.

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

So here is my one and only wild conspiracy theory: @elonmusk achieved meaningful AGI a while back and through it timeline engineering.

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

Elon’s actions, the way he responds to things past a certain point, the alignment of talent toward a specific goal… the perplexing inaugural salute is a temporal marker to tag a temporal branch. He is applying computer science to timeline engineering.

Hi @tltangliang - just trying to understand - these usb-c  breakout cables list these connections:  ( S + D- D+ - ) can you help me understand which of those would have the CC signal so I could have On/Off function to a Pi 5?

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@tltangliang Oh my, that is Amazing! Did you end up selling them? That would solve the problem much more elegantly!

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

Ok hear me out, I have two PI 5 in my Rackmate T1 both of which I want to power with individual USB-C power bricks because of what is plugged into them. I have had terrible luck with these inline on/off switches in the past… @geerlingguy @tltangliang

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

I understand USB-C is protocol based and has a complex dance so I figured I would reach out before I started experimenting and risk damaging the SBC and peripherals

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

Looking at the Pinouts…

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@mikegapinski Good to know, what are your goto brands that you have found reliable?

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@mikegapinski - got my AI Bundle (Hailo 8L) in the post - confused about one detail - kit came with 10 identical screws, 4 large offsets for the PI 5 side and one smaller offset for the nvme drive. But I am not sure how the nvme offset is supposed to work?

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@mikegapinski Ahhhh! The groove makes sense now, thank you sir!

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

@mikegapinski Will try that now, thanks for the fast reply!

[Jim Scheitel @energysmithe]

I am sure I am just misunderstanding but the screws are as tall/longer than the offset so I can have a screw in from one side or the other, but not really both?
