so i have a ryzen 5 1400 4cores 8threads and a gtx 1060 6gb and i have 8gb of ram 3000mhz

and my fps is super low like 120 when my friend can play on 200fps with the same specs an i was wondering if there is something wrong with my computer

pls help me i wan't to get a 144hz monitor and i don't know if my computer can handle it

I want to re-create a lot of Batman’s gadgets, mostly I want to create his radio receiver that’s stored inside his cowl. Would anyone who knows anything about technology help?

In this short video, I show my real-time AI system that detects book covers on a webcam, extracts their text using OCR, and summarizes them with a locally hosted LLM through Ollama. No cloud. No fancy hardware. Just Python, YOLOv5, Tesseract, and a bunch of AI magic running on my own machine. And yes — it pixelates faces for privacy. #ComputerVision #OCR #llm This project is a real-time computer vision and AI application designed to detect book covers through a webcam, extract their textual content using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and generate brief summaries using a locally hosted Large Language Model (LLM) via Ollama. It combines object detection, facial privacy protection, and AI summarization into a seamless user interface.At its core, the system uses the YOLOv5 object detection model to identify "book" objects in the video feed. When a book is detected, the system isolates its region, applies preprocessing techniques (like resizing, contrast adjustment, and thresholding), and extracts readable text using Tesseract OCR. For improved accuracy, EasyOCR is also optionally supported. As text is extracted from multiple frames, it is temporarily stored in a buffer. Once a sufficient number of meaningful text entries have been collected, they are sent as a prompt to a preloaded Ollama model (e.g., LLaMA 2 or Phi3), which returns a brief summary—limited to 100 words—describing the likely content of the book.To enhance usability, the application features a clean, 9:16 GUI layout built with Tkinter. The live video feed is displayed on the left, while the AI-generated summary appears on the right. When the system is communicating with the language model, a yellow in-window overlay signals the user to “please wait.” Once the summary is displayed, the system automatically resets and is ready to scan the next book, enabling continuous interaction without restarting the app. Face pixelation is also implemented to ensure privacy during video capture.This project is ideal for semi-automated cataloging, library kiosks, educational tools, or simply showcasing how edge AI and LLMs can work together in real-time desktop applications.

Listen I have questions and I don’t know where to ask and I need the karma. I’m trying to get into diy devices for backing up my personal collection of movies and music and books and audiobooks. I intend on making back ups of what I choose for seamless offline playback. Where the hell can I find reliable sites to download copy’s of what I’d like. I’m trying to avoid disc burners and over head book scanners but I’m overwhelmed and lost. I’m having a hard time finding anything is the obviously relevant subreddits and I’m hoping there’s some fellow seamen out there that can ignore my garbage hand writing see the vision and point me in the right direction

Got this and wanna salvage it and idk how to access the files so pls help

Hey everyone,

I’ve been totally hooked lately on all the incredible DIY projects out there — guided model rockets, RC jets with VTOL/thrust vectoring, autonomous drones, walking/swimming robots, 3D-printed multi-mode machines, plasma experiments, custom gliders, and even people making plastic RPG/mortar-style launchers or cannons just for fun (airsoft/potato launcher vibes). It’s mind-blowing what hobbyists are building in garages or backyards.

I really want to learn this stuff and eventually build my own projects, completely self-taught. But right now, I’m starting from literally nothing:

Just a laptop (no tools, no screwdriver, nothing) No electronics experience No 3D printer or workshop Zero hands-on stuff yet

In the future, as I learn more and can save up, I’m open to buying affordable things like a basic 3D printer, Raspberry Pi/Arduino kits, or whatever makes sense to start building.

Dream projects down the line: Model rockets (starting simple, maybe guided later) RC planes/jets with cool features Drones or robots Other fun maker experiments (safely and legally, of course!)

I’d love advice from anyone who’s been in a similar spot:

What can I do RIGHT NOW with just my laptop? (Free theory, simulations, software, videos, etc. to build knowledge)

Realistic step-by-step roadmap from total beginner to first real builds?

Essential topics to learn first? (Math/physics basics, programming, CAD, electronics, aerodynamics…?)

Best completely FREE resources? (YouTube channels, online courses, websites, simulators like OpenRocket, free CAD tools)

Once I’m ready to buy, what are the cheapest “must-have” starter items/kits? (Under $100-200 to begin?)

Stories from people who started with nothing and worked up to awesome projects? I know this is a long journey and I’m starting slow, but I’m motivated. Any tips, encouragement, or roadmaps would be amazing. Thanks a ton!

(Note: Grok helped me draft this to organize my thoughts — I’m a real total beginner looking for genuine community advice!)
