I had an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano sitting around collecting dust, along with a 5-inch touchscreen monitor, and thought it would be fun to build a voice interface for my second brain. Not because I needed one, but because the idea of talking to a device with an oscilloscope-style voice visualization seemed like a cool weekend project.

Why Build a Cyberdeck?#

Honestly, I just thought it would be neat. I had the parts, I had the time, and the concept of a voice-first chat device in a custom enclosure sounded fun to build. I had no productivity goals, no problem to solve, just a project for the sake of building something interesting.

How to get an AMD Instinct MI60 running for AI workloads, including cooling solutions, BIOS settings, and fan control.

Introduction#

The AMD Instinct MI60 is a powerful server GPU featuring 32 GB of HBM2 VRAM and PCIe 3.0 connectivity. It remains a good choice for budget-conscious AI developers looking for high VRAM capacity at a fraction of modern GPU prices. With proper setup, the MI60 can handle local LLM inference, Whisper transcription, Stable Diffusion, and other workloads.
