I’m experimenting with local LLMs on a laptop and would love to compare configurations with people running similar hardware. I'm not new in this but also not quite expert tho :).

My setup:

• ASUS ROG Flow Z13
• Ryzen AI Max+ 395
• 128GB unified memory
• Radeon 8060S iGPU
• Windows
• llama.cpp with Vulkan backend or lemonade

Im not expecting desktop GPU performance, but I want to understand what is realistic and what people have found to work well in daily use

Thanks

Can someone explain how does this works, or why it works as Im trying to understand the practical and legal situation here!?

Brave advertises that its browser blocks ads and trackers, including YouTube ads. But YouTube shows warnings saying that blocking ads violates YouTube Terms of Service and may block video playback.

So where does that leave us, beside being tracked for every possible activity?

Is using Braves built in shields on YouTube considered a violation of YouTube terms, even though it is a normal browser feature? And in the EU is YouTube allowed to detect ad blockers and restrict playback because of it?

I’m not asking for tricks to bypass YouTube (for now). Im trying to understand the difference between:

1. ad blockers being legal to use,
2. YouTube being allowed to enforce its own service rules,
3. Brave openly offering YouTube ad blocking as a browser feature.

I got cancelation for my Swedish YouTube premium because (check this out), I have been using YouTube premium outside of Sweden for more than 30 days (I worked in Germany for 2 months) and as per YouTube they are expecting me to create premium accounts for every country that I go to work in EU?! Are they serious about this?
