What will you do when you want to use a 4K monitor? This is not to be dismissive. I am genuinely curious if HiDPI works on motif.
I can't speak for Motif but Fluxbox works fine on my 4K monitor

suyula commented on Ask HN: Treadmill under your desk – gimmick or worth it? · Posted by u/herodoturtle
I didn't end up using mine, as walking while keeping both hands on the keyboard doesn't work the right places in my back. I also get really sweaty when walking indoors with no breeze, it turns out.
I'd recommend a cheap second-hand treadmill if you're going to try -- people are always selling these after shelling out a heap of money and realising that they mainly collect dust.

I use an Awair, also in a cold climate. Seeing the data for my air quality motivated me to install an air exchanger. Having the monitor allowed me to see how much we needed to exchange in order to keep the CO2 at a decent level.
For anyone with a modern home that is sealed up average or better, an air monitor indoors is almost a must.
On the topic of the number of people and CO2, I'm tempted to have it alert me when I'm out of town and the CO2 rises. I have an alarm, but who would think to defeat the innocent looking air monitor on the shelf?
What's the intended purpose of the system alerting you when you're out of town?

I've had a single catfishy-looking message request, I'm guessing it's because I set up a short username.

I recall the LAM being a/the (stated) reason why it couldn't "just be an app."
If it's vaporware on-device it's more evidence that it could have just been an app. Perhaps there was special on-device sauce coming in a future update, but as of now it's a client making http calls.
You probably wouldn't want an app to be able to press buttons on another app so if that's how it works (or worked) then that seems fair enough to me.
So after a day up, the only actual answers here are somebody using it to distract themselves from getting too engrossed in what they're doing by sending a clickbait discord post to themself, and someone who wants an offline search engine that hallucinates.
AI seems totally not like a giant bubble.
Well if you're looking for a real use, I ask a local LLM the setup for a child's joke several times a day, and post its answer to my tens of Mastodon followers: https://botsin.space/@jokeunderstander
So it's not all useless.

You should really use a basket of goods, there are a lot of reasons why a single commodity may change in price. This is kind of why we have CPI and PCE.
Here's real-dollar food PCE. It's up about 38% since 2007 or just over 2% annualized increase above inflation.
Seems more reasonable to use milk when talking about Starbucks.
